DE/Droid Improvement/Variety Ideas
This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
Proposal
Adjusting Mark IV Sentry droids to use a socket cluster instead of a single mod
Adding in craftable chassis/deed for droids listed that are mob/costume only
Adding in NGE craftable droids that are unavailable to DE but would be expected for them to craft
Justification
Improve rarely used droid model, more variety/sale opportunities for DE/cooler droids around the galaxy
Motivation
Allowing access to craftable items that would be expected from SWG Source and more variety DE can sell on Restroation
Hey folks,

I like me some droids and I've been on servers where they've added more variety from the vanilla established crafts. This isn't so much commentary of the mods available but some adjustments for more use from droids and variety:

1. Allowing Mark IV Sentry droids to use a socket (3 mods) instead of just a single mod - it's a cool model but kinda useless when it only accepts 1 mod

2. Here are a list of droid models in the assets that aren't crafted that would be cool addition or questable content to obtain:

- https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/IT-O_Interrogator (Interrogator Droid from ANH)
- https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/6-POC (LOM series)
- https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/8T88_Droid_costume (Costume only currently)
- https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/Blastromech
- https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/EV-9D9 (Droid torture droid from ROTJ)
- https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/IG-106_costume (Costume only, chunk IG)
- https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/Seeker_Droid (IDing for BHs only, cool as droid model)
- https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/IG-88B (IG series)

3. Craftable but not available under DE on Resto
- https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/Mustafarian_Mining_Droid (MK3 Mining Droid) (https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/Deed_for:_Mining_Droid_MK3)
- Note: this is a vehicle! https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/Basilisk_War_Droid (added in GU 12 just available for engineers to create, requires mustafarian steel and asteroid materials)
 
For additional consideration/clarification:

I'm not sure if these were Mustafar quest rewards (my knowledge base is mostly pre cu) but the Battle Droid and Droideka are also two other chassis/deeds available:

I haven't gotten that far, but I see HK-47 listed as wildlife on Mustafar. I know he's one-of-a-kind, but if his model is in the game, it might be cool to be able to craft an HK-50/51
