I'll likely get a "datapad" secondary processor to aid in slicing and possibly a ranged weapon of some sort. Do you want me to integrate your character's power recharger into my droid's systems too?Great. Any recommendations feat-wise?The Q7 astromech's writeup is described as having the "7" in its designation being a reference to it being the 7th version of the Q series droids. The previous six (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and Q6) were merely prototypes that, for one reason or another weren't green-lighted for mass production. My droid is thus the fourth prototype of the Q series: Q4. I figure that, in its initial aurek configuration the Q4 was built without its repulsorlift engine and merely hoisted into the V-wing's astromech slot for testing purposes. Once it's repulsorlift engine was installed and a few other modifications made it's designation had the "B" (for "besh") added in to distinguish it from its "aurek" configuration; thus QB-4. It wasn't chosen as the Q series' final production model because, due to its superior technology enhancement and other refinements, it proved too costly to mass produce and so got shelved in favor of a cheaper prototype. Some of this is touched upon in my character's background. I figured that this would be a good way of justifying why my droid is more sophisticated than an average Q7.</blockquote>
