Technicians:
I am pleased to announce the placement of your new guru, Counselor Drake! He's worked on a lot of behind the scenes systems and I believe he'll be able to do a lot for you. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

That's right.. your friendly neighborhood Drake is now the Technician Guru.
To start off, I'll be delving into the realm of droids - improving the existing droid system, and working on making a few new types for you techies (think your air drone is too small? Wait till you see a MAD). Also, I plan to add some new customization options for all droid types.
One more thing.. some new toys are planned for technicians.. but I'll save the details on that for another time _________________ Something wicked this way comes... |

Hey congrats Drake!
MAD? mediumsize.air.drone?
How about a processing unit(built in stove and or crucible) that helps ya refine stuff like boiling arrows and melts down minables to ingots.
Light attachment that to light up the room at night or when ya in a dark place.
Some real defense systems like when someone pokes at the drone, it could actually stunned them with a taser or something. heh. _________________ Lick or Be Licked |

Hey Drake,
Did you forget about us? How goes the MADs? What are MADs?
Will we have a Tech meeting anytime soon? _________________ Lick or Be Licked |

Hehe, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you.
I've been picking apart the droids and seeing how they really work, and it's taken some time (damn you Zoz). Right now I'm working on some more personality chips for existing droids, so hopefully I'll get those out (and I hate this word, but) soon.
You'll see what a MAD is when I get 'em out there.. speculate in the meantime.
I haven't set a meeting time yet, but within the next 2-3 weeks I'd like to have one. Expect it to be a Wednesday or Saturday meeting though, probably around 8pm EST. _________________ Something wicked this way comes... |

Kewl, can you also make it so that a player could actually get hurt if they try to provoke our drones? Like a long stun or put them in a stasis field so that they can't move or say anything for like 2 minutes. Or maybe incase them in some ice for a bit. I'm sick and tired of people trying to do bad stuff to my drone. _________________ Lick or Be Licked |

It's possible, but I doubt it. One out is enough for now, I think.

Once I get these personality chips out, I'll see what I can do. _________________ Something wicked this way comes... |

Drake, I heard through the techie grapevine that we cannot own both kinds of droids. I understood we couldnt have them both out at the same time, but do we have to choose which we want to own and then not able to buy the other? I am in no way complaining, so sorry if it sounds like I am. Can you shed some light onto this subject please, as I am getting close to sixth and am looking forward to a droid. I just wanna make sure I dont screw myself. _________________ Dregonard Lefear offers a voodoo shrunken Arakaweii head to you.

As of this moment in time, a technician can only own one droid. Very soon (within the next couple of days) I will have an NPC or something that will buy your old droid and junk it so you can purchase a different droid.
Then, I will be adding the ability to own more than one droid at a time. To go along with this, there will be the creation of a droid storage center. Essentially, you will be able to bring your droid to the center, pay a storage fee, and it will be transported to a containment area. Then, you will be able to access one of your other droids. You will NOT be able to have more than one droid out at a time; you will have to put one away before you can bring another one out.
I haven't decided yet whether or not to make you techies bring your droid to the storage center, or to allow you to use "COMMAND <droid> TO LEAVE" and have it go to the center on its own.. either way, you'll have to pay the storage fee. "COMMAND <droid> TO RETURN" WILL be disabled at this point, however.
So, I guess it's just a matter of which one you just HAVE to have right now. _________________ Something wicked this way comes... |
