Demiurge - the previous tech admin - always wanted them submitted without exception. But we don't review or approve character profiles on the site, and forcing people to submit tech profiles for a droid character is basically enforcing character approval, which has never sat right with me.
In light of that, my stance is basically this: If you want to submit a tech profile, great, go for it! It's probably a little safer for you in the end but it may not be necessary. I would like you to toss me a link to your character, though, so I can have a quick look at your droid's abilities. If I feel it needs a profile, then I'll require you to submit one.
That way you don't have to wait on me for 'character approval'. To me, it seems to be the fairest way of doing things.
Well the long term is obviously complete control of Tatooine, but in terms of feasible I don't like to plan things that far ahead. I rather take it one step at a time. So right now it's just getting a foothold, after that we start pissing off the Tuskens more and getting more of a presence in smaller settlements. After that we'll see, but probably going after bigger settlements and getting more into the political side of things.
Probably nothing too fancy I'd imagine. Maybe one Sand-rat at the front, one at the back, the four Rontos in between, and the other two Sand-rats on either side. But it's up to you, however you want it, go for it!
