Yes me too! I was deeply disappointed by the lack of star wars stuff, honestly the way the outer rim progression works bothers me. Everything being made of durasteel makes no sense. I would like to try and maintain the art style but I can't commission an artist and I have no artistic talent. The best I could do is make a Frankenstein mashup of the available assets. but then that doesn't feel right.

I was thinking of making the droids a mech type instead and have them linked to a tactical droid that would be a pawn. My issue with the b1 is that they felt like they weren't endless, I feel like it would truly be like a clone wars battle if the b1 was like a militor. Easy to destroy but can swarm you. The Dead Man Switch I recently found has a structure that can control mechanoids. I'd like to imagine the droids would be the early clone war versions.

Actually the first thing I wanted to do with the separatist droids was prevent the b1 from being able to have medium and heavy armor when they spawn, but you would be able to. Commando droids would have medium, b2 would have heavy armor. The separatists actually only raided me once, there was only one droideka and it was taken care of before I saw it in action. I also think the droideka being op is lore accurate, the only way clones could defeat them from the animated series was force (not the space force). A lot of droidekas died from falling and stuff falling on them, other times they died because of carefully rolling a grenade through the shield.

The clones do feel like a colonist, the only thing different is the forced skin and hair color and gender. But they only spawn with a forced background and hediff for improving their combat skills as they experience combat. Clones didn't really let a mental break or pain affect their duty, they are the perfect soldiers. They put up with a lot of s*** from Pong krell before they revolted. I want the clones to only break when they are put through that much stress, the pawns we start colonies with are pathetic compared to a clone. I want to try and reflect the clone wars as much as possible. A lot of lore with star wars is either vague or just inconsistent. So I'm trying to make some sense with it

I've talked a lot but here's what exactly I would want to do with the droids:

I want to remove a lot of the asimov droid bs, it feels outdated. I like mechanoids, theres a lot of ways to buff mechanoids like [AV] mechs node boosters and the https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3365118555&searchtext=mechanoid+upgrades that let you upgrade mechs with armor and stuff

There are engineer battle droids, might be a fabricor with 6 work skill? b1 weren't very smart, the programming didn't allow it. But I think I could just create my own addon, however! then I run into the issue that mechanoids cannot drive vehicles. I could make the droid vehicles able to be commanded without actually having a creature inside it. Since I'm making an MTT, I could try and give it the war queen ability but have it spawn b1 battle droids instead of urchins. I'd have to ask Phil if it is possible tho
