Cool, thank you, sorry to have missed them, I will go look for them now.

[Cory Trese]

that may or may not be true at this time.

[fallen]

I play too much on a development version =)

It doesn't look like the shock maul is available yet, though it does seem that the other club weapons are now out there in the NBZ.

[grävling]

Explains why I am not finding them, then. ;D

I will just train patience.

[Cory Trese]

Next release, probably.

[blackgauntlet]

Aww... what about the weapons for subject characters?
1) EMP side-arms for those pesky droids with insanely high HP
2) Concussion Blaster for our ranged knock-out purposes

[HarryKILLSworth]

Maybe.... A friendly droid that you. could put on auto-attack mode. It pursues and attacks a clicked target until a death occurs. Repeat process for next target. Simply click on another target an AId takes over. Armor plating and Armaments Upgrades would be available for the droid for. Since.it is a droid it would gain EXP. very slowly. If it is defeated instead of losing forever, a "pile of droid parts" would appear in you. inventory. After arriving at an abandoned warehouse a eccentric genius greets you. you.

Eccentric Genius: GoodDay Chums. How can Droids-R-Us be of assistance.

[I'd like to purchase a Droid]

Eccentric Genius: Sure thing chums, Here's my line-up.

1)....$$$
2)....$$$$
3)....$$$$$$$

[Id like to take a look at you Upgrades catalog]

Eccentric Genius: Sure thing. Youll find both armaments and armor in there.

1) heav3ye machine gun $$ <-- typo report
2) long range sniper rifle $$$
3) mortar launcher $$$$
4) target system bonus +1 $$$
4) target system bonus +2 $$$$
5) armor plating bonus +1 $$$
6) armor plating bonus +3 $$$$$



Eccentric Genius: Oh! I see. Took quite a pounding. I can fix it. There's no doubting that. However it'll take quite a bit of work and I am quite swamped with orders. It'll cost ya' 2500 credits.<-- -(depending on how badly damaged and Droid type) and you. can pick it. up in 3 days.

[Offer Bribe] $1000

Eccentric Genius: Oh! I see! I get right on it. Pick it up in 2s days.

[Offer Bribe] $1000

Eccentric Genius: Oh! I see! I'll get right on it. Pick it. up in 1 day.

[Offer Bribe] $1000

Eccentric Genius: Im not a machine! Quit busting my ball bearings! I said it'll be ready in 1 day and I meant it.

(Obviously Droids aren't going to heals in a hotel, so you. would take both damaged and destroyed droids to him.)

A message would flash when the droid was ready.

(Ariving at Abandoned warehouse.)

Eccentric Genius: (Standard greeting)

[Is my Droid ready]

Eccentric Genius: Sure i! Like new as promised. Come back if you. need anything else.......or

Eccentric Genius:Im not a machine! Quit busting my ball bearings! Itll be read3 in 1 day and I meanr it.<-- typo report.

[LordofSyn]

I like the above idea... allow me to expand it.

I would be happy with a portable mobile Turret.

Instead of abandoned warehouse, Could also be a junkyard. Also to usee droid exp yo would take it. eccentric genius who would program it free of charge.

[Id like to use my droid EXP]

Eccentric Genius: Sure thing. Ill get the CP.... Now lets see what would you. like to do.

[Target System] etc....

[grävling]

I'd like droids as well. I'd love a party member you could raise from the dead, as it were.

[gravismetallum]

I like it the idea as well.

[taatuu25]

I too think its a good idea.. But im nit sure about fiving it EXP. Its a machine afterall.. And i think that also you could find those droid maaters in corporate scycrapers also, not just abandoned buildings.

(and your own attack dogs also)

[fallen]

The parallel to giving a droid XP will be buying it new upgrades.

[blackgauntlet]

I wish for both a droid AND a vehicle... Heck, might as well make one that does BOTH!
