I know alot of people in here are veteran smugglers and I was wondering if you might be interested in this idea... I think this would be a great addition to the revamp since droids recently were upgraded,but then again, everyone thinks their ides are great so haha... here goes...


Idea:

Since we already had to learn how to slice containers (level 1), computer terminals( level 2),weapons (level 3), and armor (level 4). What sums these elements up better than a sliced Droid (level Master)? I mean, R2 wasn't just a stock model, so why not allow other droids to be sliced too?


The slice on a droid can do one of these 3 things:

-increase the HAM of the Droid

-increase the offensive damage ability

-increase/addto resistances


What do you guys think? Hit me with it! I can take it, I almost have a one star rating... so fire away! haha

Personally, I love the idea... (Especially since my alt is a MDE)


Here are a few more ideas for ya:



- Increase power efficiency (batteries drain slower)


- Increase customization time (okay... probably lame and not worth the slice, but hey)


- Increase rating for utility modules (Med could be over 110, Up trapping or harvesting, detonation modules, combat modules, etc)

How about a slicing module in a droid? In the movies we always R2 slicing into terminals and such. What if we could get a droid that would give us a small boost in slicing % ? And what if we could slice that module to give us a higher boost

Excellent ideas guys. Smugglers who can "pimp" your ride, your armor, your weapons, and your droids. For a price.


Sounds good to me.

slicing module in a droid would be great too, but it would need to be limited to terminals to keep us smugglers from going out of business. But if droid owners had a slicing module, and bought the supplies for slicing from us for their droid, why not let em slice terminals for higher missions, or even bypass door codes in the geo lab or corvette? That would add to the realism of swg for sure. But I believe for the smuggler profession to survice, that would need to be the extent of a droids capeabilities.


As far as slicing droids, the ideas for increasing attributes would be great, but in all fairness, droids are very complex machines, much more so than a gun or piece of armor, so why not make the slice a temporary one... limit it to a hundred uses or so? Why not also make it more difficult to repair if it has been sliced, until the slice wears off? Guns and armor degenerate quicker once sliced, so why not penalize droids as well.
