[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5053507, member: 51930"] I don't know if anyone's still reading this thread, but... I just bought my copy of Scavenger's Guide to Droids. Excellent book! Yes there are lots of combat droids, but they'll come in handy for games. The best part of the book is that every droid in it (and I believe the Core book) has a second set of stats that lets them be used as Equipment. This is brilliant, because it means I can let my players use a pile of droids in-game: the droids are equipment you can spend swift actions to order around. This includes firing a shot or moving, plugging into a computer and using skills, that sort of thing. That means players aren't just buying additional PCs and dozens of actions every combat round. Instead, they have the same number of actions to spend among several droids and their own actions. Which means that PC droids like R2D2 stand out even more, as they do more and "take initiative", if you will. Other books I picked up include Starships of the Galaxy, and the Force Unleashed campaign guide. [/QUOTE]
