hi... my idea is use the probe droids as a explorer unit, 2 for company and use the ability of the MPTL spotter

Speeder Bikes.

Thanks for coming out.

probe droids can go over terrain that speeder bikes cannot. Also, Probe Droids are less conspicuous, as they can camouflage more easily against the terrain.

that's true. this isn't too bad of an idea.

sounds good to me. essentially a spotter clone? or does it shoot too?

Sarcastic · « **Reply #5 on:** December 17, 2008, 06:02 am »

Maybe just pack them with the artillery instead. Doesn't seem all that fair that MPTLs get free spotters.

have probe droids come with the imperial artillary, it seems fair that way

I would say a spotter droid with a standard infantry weapon and a little more health.

andres_16 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 17, 2008, 07:35 pm »

for me is good, for the ability, the ability of the MPTL sppoter is very good to use a bombing run. Why no use a spotter in the Empire?

to quote him: "I think it self-destructed; I didn't hit it very hard."

hmm ok. the probe droids in some other games were tough too. I guess you're right

D · « **Reply #12 on:** December 21, 2008, 08:07 pm »

probe droids werent well armored, but the one solo shot self destructed.

it should essentially have the same health as the MPTL spotter

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 22, 2008, 12:15 am »

sounds about right.

You only get 2 MPTLs. The Empire gets 3 SPMA-Ts per company, AND for a cheaper price.

I vote yes but they are very easy to kill.

Mir'ika · « **Reply #16 on:** December 22, 2008, 06:00 pm »

MPTLs are better. They are faster, and more accurate against moving targets. More akin to MRL systems than an SP gun, like the SPMA-T, which is better against stationary targets. Not to mention the damage the MPTL can do versus that damage the SPMA-T can do. The MPTL can do quite a bit of damage, the SPMA-T, not so much.

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #17 on:** December 22, 2008, 06:20 pm »

Yes and I think Mirshe is right there. The probe droid should get the same ability of the spotter. maybe a trooper quality blaster.

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 23, 2008, 09:55 pm »

no, it should just be the probe droid unit; SPMAT's come three in a group and are cheaper, so they have to be worse to be balanced.

Argonnath · « **Reply #19 on:** December 23, 2008, 09:58 pm »

Agree with e.

I wasn't saying that it should come with the SPMA-T's. I was saying that it should just have the same qualities as a spotter only with a small blaster. I was thinking maybe give it the self destruct ability, but that's pointless because they are weak anyway and wouldn't really damage anything if they did go boom.
