- @abc415289290 definitely! This is a GREAT idea
I could name many droids I'd love, but particularly I'd like R2-D2, R2-R9 and R2-B1 (from Queen's Starship), and R8-B7 (Mace's droid)
If the CM sees this, please refer it to the Devs; it's such a great idea, and I'd even part with me hard-earnt dosh to have these. - @abc415289290 I always want droids, but more as a feature of custom load out droids that give you special advancements like auto pilot or cool down, maybe even target lock blocking so it takes longer to be targeted.
I totally agree. Give us a customized option for our droid partners. Let us pick different models and colours would be amazing!
Nice idea, but definitely hard to implement without ruining the balance. New Republic is still a bit OP (ok, maybe not OP, they're just easier to play for more ppl), and boosting them even more would be an overkill. The only option to keep it balanced is to bend the canon a bit and give Imperials some equivalent - let's say "TIE On-Board AI" (name it whatever) doing a similar job as the droids. As much as I like the idea of refreshing current metas with new interesting equipment, such modification of the game mechanics would need really intense beta testing to avoid game-breakers.
And still, one technical issue arises- additional button will be required to activate droid's/AI's ability. For, me, PC player with HOTAS - no problem, I still have plenty of unused buttons. But for console players with a limited number of controls under their fingers it may not be so easy.
