Bring back deployable Droids!

I miss the viper Droid and the R5.
I know the Rebel Pilot reinforcement was going to have an astromech Droid to deploy, but since we don't seem likely to see any new reinforcements, maybe a new card? Could replace the Officer's autoturret, or the Specialist's bubble.
For the Separatists, it could be a hunter-killer Droid like from Attack Of The Clones.
For the Republic, it could be an R5 astromech. Copper and orange.
For Imperials, the viper droid. All black and insidious-looking.
For Rebels, the R5, maybe in a different color. White and red.
For the First Order, a viper droid, but in white.
For the Resistance, well, the R5 again. White and green, maybe.

Great stuff, lots of good ideas there...!
Alternatively I think a cool addition would be to have weapon racks/crates scattered around the map (I did make a post about these way back in like January, idk if anyone remembers, probably not lol) where you could buy a gadget for X battle points (probably a couple hundred, depends on the gadget). These would be similar to the Power Ups that were available in SWBF 2015 except slightly less powerful and you have to pay for them. Some examples - a one-time use Rocket Launcher or Smart Rocket which is essentially a buffed version of the one carried by the Aerial, can lock onto vehicles if aimed in and locked. The Ion Neutraliser or Disruptor - a heavy one-shot Ion weapon which either disables and deals heavy damage to vehicles (but it wouldn't work like the objective ones on Walker maps, although it would deal a lot of damage against unshielded walkers). Different types of droid would be a great option for these - perhaps a Probe/Recon droid which scans and shoots like in the last game, a GNK Power Unit (Gonk Droid) which increases the overheat time of players in its radius allowing them to fire continuously for longer (probably only friendly players), and a stationary Medical Droid which increases the regen rate of all friendlies in its radius. I think these would all be great and interesting additions to the game, even if they're not very probable.

Good idea! I like that it's a crate or something, instead of a floating symbol...
I've learned to always try and think how the cheapest lamest players might exploit something... =/
But I love the idea of just activating the droids we already see on the battlefields, and I love the array of different abilities!
Between giving the ability to a class or to all classes, I'd say all classes, but then I'd think the activation time would have to be pretty long. Risk for reward.
I'd still like to see a Technician / Slicer class. Navy Gunner appearances for Empire and First Order, Spec OP Clones for Republic, jumpsuit techs for everything else. With options to buy Pilot skins for all factions. Give them a slicing ability that activates environmental droids (enemy droids at high tiers), but also lets them deactivate enemy turrets (maybe turn them friendly at high tiers). And they should provide everyone withing a small radius with a local Scan Pulse.

TY both. It’s good to see some support for activating the droids. Certainly would like to see it in this game but it might be a little too late at this point. Who knows, maybe Ben will start a poll.

Pure, cold, merciless evil. It cares not if your a try hard, objective pusher, casual, it will find you. It will lock on to you even if you are behind a wall and it will aimbot you to death

Lol they were the devil when you got close. I kinda like the idea of activating the Viper droids. I don’t see em enough anyways where I think it might be a detriment

LMAO that would be funny some one brings out the droid for a healing buff and it starts shooting at Maul. Maul kills the droid and the trooper. Trooper gets mad at his droid card. Forgets it shot last spawn throws it out to take on a squad of droids it heals him but both still die because of the over powering force of two officers a heavy and assault.
Now the 3rd respawn he's very very careful with the card and don't throw it out until he needs some fire support at the control point.
LMAO crazy droid I need to get your memory chip fix LMAO. Yeah if they could do it right.
