Intent: To expand the droid arsenal of Suvian Sciences.
Development Thread: If needed
Manufacturer: Suvian Sciences
Model: S-200 Battle Droid
Affiliation: Suvian Sciences/Open Market
Modularity: Yes, the armaments can be replaced/upgraded.
Production: Minor
Material: Durasteel, Transparisteel, Arcetron.
Classification: Fourth Degree
Weight: 907.1847 KG
Height: 3 Meters
Movement: Bipedal
Armaments:

Mini Rocket Launchers: This droid is equipped with minirockets, and has 5 of them that it can shoot.
Gatling Gun: A gatling gun that is the left arm of this droid.
Repeating Blasters: On either side of the head of the droid, these blasters are meant to supplement the missile launchers. They can be used to shoot enemies but cannot swivel or move, thus making them only face forward.






Misc. Equipment:

Sensors: Nanosensors like those in other Suvian droids. They allow override by the recognition arm band.

Description:

The battery droid was created because Jeff did not want to risk the life of organics on the battle field when alternatives could exist. This droid as such was made as one to provide a lot of time for them to reload ammo, switch out lightsaber crystals or simply catch their breath. It's strength lies in the guns it has, which are also it's greatest weakness, because once they empty the droid cannot reload itself and must move back to be manually reloaded. This droid is one that is INCREDIBLY slow.

However, that does not mean this droid is by any means weak. It's main purpose is to stand there and unleash barrages of bullets, and blaster fire on anyone stupid enough to attack it or groups it is sold as a piece of technology to. This droid is programmed to respond to the recognition arm band. It can also be programmed so as to immediately attack anyone wearing certain uniforms, although that programming has not been done. It is more of an optional modification to the droid, should you want to deploy it on the battlefield. This droid is also expensive to produce, and thus about 60,000 credits is charged per droid, half of which goes back into the production of another.

*low whistle* I don not want to fight this thing.
For weapons:

Missile Launcher: This can shoot six missiles and is mounted on top of the droid. The missiles are homing.

This is too much. First off, homing missiles are complex and powerful, to the point where if there were only two here, I could see it. Secondly, I'm going to ask these be dropped to mini-rockets.
Which is still a heck of a punch.

Twin Laser Cannons: On either side of the head of the droid, these cannons are meant to supplement the missile launchers. They can be used to shoot enemies but cannot swivel or move, thus making them only face forward.

Laser cannons on a vehicle this size, especially with rockets, make this almost seem designed as an anti-armor mech. I'm going to request, that as these are immense, and impractically powerful, that you switch these to repeating blasters.

Self Destruct Mechanism: A self destruct mechanism that activates should there be any attempt to hack the droid. It's got enough power to take out 50 people.

Which is as much explosive power as you put in the suicide drone before edits. Either drop this down considerably, or remove it entirely.

Oh, and this?

ast but not least, this droid cannot attack any Suvian employees...ever. No amount of reprogramming could change that.

This doesn't work in a practical sense. One could completely reset the droid, or simply have someone who'e better at computers than your staff. Any piece of software can be overridden with enough effort.

For a droid of this size, your weight is incredibly low. One of my characters, in full kit weighs that much. The weight on a droid like this would be at least a couple tons (for perspective, a car weighs about a ton)
How does it sense the arm band?

Allright. Abuse and suffer.
