With the impending nerf/fix on pets (CL 10, one pet at a time), the devs are going to be releasing new droids. One of those new droids may be a squad support droid, a droid that throws out stims.



I was just dreaming that, perhaps, this could be an SL only droid. It could scooter around the field tossing out stim-a's or weak stim-b's. Not too powerfull, but it would be neat.


We gave something to combat medics --terrain negotiation --and it would be nice to get this in turn.



Here's to hoping:

I think the idea is that the stim-giving 2-1B is going to be a doctor-droid, really. and that it's stim-give out rate will be base on the doctor's medicine use rate, etc etc. It would work if you were a SL/Medic. but, not going to work on SL-only.

ive already thrown out suggestions to TH himself and also using the feedback forms on the SWG page for a "radar jamming" device and possibly another that increases SL's abilities using radar and maps. The radar jammer idea i had a fe wmonths ago listed it as being constructed by a Droid Engineer......SO


it would be VERY cool if the SL got a droid of some sort along this line.Or maybe an SL droid module that we can dump into an R2 or R5 unit that allows it to jam radars and increase our own radar properties.



anyhoo..on the note of the medic droid. I remember in SWGB (galactic battlegrounds) you could produde a "medic" droid that would go with your units and auto heal them at a slow rate. I imagine thats what this one is gonna be. Itd be cool to have it SL only..but you know all the medics and doctors will whine if they dont get it,

technicaly terrain navogation is a ranger skill, our skill is group terrain nav, and for combate meds it makes sence it lets then have the movement bounus wout out needing to lear novice scout an waist the 15 SP there


i was trying to think of good SL driods because BH dont have to be the only ones with profession specific driods


i was thinking something like a radar droid that would increas our radar range, cause even if you zoom your radar all the way out you still dont see everything untill you get closer to it.





How do you improve the entire game, and one of the more useless professions at the same time? Well this is a start: Help Support the http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=squad_leader&message.id=10609>Fortification Proposal
