what if battle droids were fuckable?

>were

It makes me a bit sad this is probably because of that twitter thing. Well, whatever. I actually genuinely like B1s a shitton outside of them being sexy and have liked them ever since I first saw them as a little kid. They're cool as hell to me and always have been, and they also can be sexy. Both aesthetically and in mannerism they're always super charming, but it's a serious shame the movies don't really feature them a ton per-se and that later in universe they disappear for the most part. Maybe only speaking for myself but I rather liked how B1s tended to talk in the movies as opposed to the cartoons, I never saw the Clone Wars TV show but the movie B1s felt a lot more artificial in a way I rather liked.

Here's a not-coomer question for you, anons: how would you improve the base B1 to be a more effective soldier droid while increasing the costs as little as possible? I personally would try to go all in on programming and minimal body strengthening if I could. Programming is in all earnestness the single biggest thing I think which could improve the B1 line permanently; a droid which can better aim, think, react, improvise, etc. is a droid that can fight better even with a very flimsy, cheap body, and good programming, on paper, is an upgrade which only needs to be made once to then be spread for trillions of droids at little extra cost. I would also want to add a little extra protection for vital parts so that one or two blasts doesn't down it instantly, though I'd want to try to find the best possible balance between the protection actually being effective and keeping it as cheap as possible.

I'd just give them that aimbot shit that IG-88 had in the Mando show

Then they wouldn't be Battle Droids. They'd be Beddable Droids.

>>23374300
give them geth technology where the more there are in one area, the smarter they become

>>23373258 (OP)
imagine if they were competent, and fuckable, and had female voices, and bullied the Jedi, and had built in interrogation tools

>>23374300
Shields, probably.
The B1 is a low cost cannon-fodder drone and excels at being just that. Trying to make the B1 anything more than that is wasteful when you could just make a B2 or IG-series droid.

Shields, then, makes the droids harder to grind through and gives them enough durability to close to effective shooting range. Tapping from the droid's existing power supply would reduce the B1's endurance but considering the expected lifespan of a B1 that's not much of a loss.
>Programming
This actually opens a can of worms. If it was possible to give droids better programming then why would the B1 have inferior programming. You can just copy programs endlessly and the CIS doesn't seem overly concerned with licensing fees.

My only conclusion is processing limitations. That the B1 uses extremely cheap circuitry that simply can't handle advanced combat software. Like running Crysis on an iPhone 2. I suppose we could upgrade the data processors but that's going to add costs to something that's going to be marched right into enemy fire. Chances are they'll get blasted by something they didn't see coming.

>>23374300
If you could run commando droid software on B1 hardware the ground war would be over in weeks. Personally, I'd minimise the cost as much as I can, but make sure they're all networked. 100 throwaway droids is laughable, but 99 throwaway droids that all know your exact position from the moment you killed the 100th and are all firing perfectly in synch will fuck you over.

>>23374369
It would be pretty damn good but that droid could tank a lot of fire, still, this'd be a great addition

>>23374587
This is a really good cheap idea, probably a bit better than individual hardware fixes even

>>23374687
According to wiki shits apparently the B1 is rife with programming issues, which is why I think it'd be the most efficient means to try to improve the model, and which is also apparently why they have their personalities as they currently are. Hardware is a problem too but just making the B1 able to run smoothly and maybe aim straight with what it's got would IMO be huge improvements which hopefully wouldn't break the bank. As to why they're programmed like shit as is, it should be remembered that the entire Clone War is just Palpatine fighting himself, both sides functionally being crippled and not operating at their full potential would be entirely acceptable to him, if not an outright deliberate move.

I think shields would not really be a good investment, they're way too expensive for what the B1 is as you yourself say.

>>23374832
Probably the best solution so far IMO, mixing both significant individual programming improvements with mass cloud awareness would turn the B1s absolutely fuckass lethal even if the base model is still stupidly cheap

I have good news for you

Look, if you have tools, engineering and mechanics knowledge, a fleshlight and a dildo, anon, then any machine can become a fucking machine...

>>23375463
what tactical purpose do wigs and spiked chokers serve?

You people will make porn out of literal skeleton robots that are treated like punching bags but won’t even get Nobel Gundam’s R34 results past 50.

>>23374832
You could combine these ideas, networking the droids while also allowing inactive or idle ones to bear part of the processing load, so you've got the unstoppable tide mindset of the droids from episode 1, without the weakness of a single vulnerable control centre

What the fuck does this have to do with mecha

>>23373258 (OP)
They would be in the Ryuusei thread, instead.

>>23374300
>>23374687
>>23374869
Remember some of the "B1s" you see in Episode one are OOMs which are way smarter and more expensive. The B1s in AotC are an attempt to get SOME of those smarts without high cost.

>>23373258 (OP)
Easily done.

>>23376993
Still more fuckable than the original oc

>>23376993
>>23375463
uh boner, this doesn't compute
uh wait uh SEXO

>>23376944
I thought it wasn't the cost, it was that they had to have a big floating space station controlling them at all times which pretty quickly got identified as a weak point, the later ones have individual programming so they can operate on their own but it's pretty shit.

>>23379423
The droids are good. They can operate machinery. They can pilot ships, shoot giant naval artillery accurately, still do all the manning of checkpoints etc etc

Its just that they are at the level of regular humans and exceeding that level is not economical for what jobs they do.

What we see is the droids being "let free" as the war progresses. No longer slaved to central processing computers they start developing. They learn fear of death and so on through this, but they also become independent and would eventually gain true knowledge and inspiration.
The ones in ep 1 were basically micro'd by fleshbags at all times

>>23373258 (OP)

>>23379441
I think what's funny about the B1's is that they just seem to be dipshits on a fundamental level, but there's so many of them. And when they aren't being completely retarded they're as good as the average clone is. In some applications like space gunnery they're probably better than any fleshbag could be without Force powers. But no matter what, they're still dumb, even the ones that the Republic repogrammed for Citadel rescue mission. And any droids you find after war's end all have robot Alzheimer's so they're even dumber. It's just really funny to me that the core of the Separatist army are canonically retarded.

>>23380834
B1s are honest soldiers. They hold the line while fighting souped up bio-engineered soldiers and psionic supermen.
Their only real weakness is their humanity, contrasted with the inhuman efficiency of clones.
Droids would ironically never be able to "order 66" their leadership due to having remorse, fear of death, understanding of the self and so on.

>>23381116
If you really think you can spout CIS scum propaganda and get away with it anon: you're right.

this might be a bit much

>>23375742
Dat ass.

>>23375742
Why is this a thing and why dk I learn of this only just now??

Lets say the Jedi were not a factor, nor was Sheev/Dooku a part of anything, the Republic only having clones. Do you think the CIS would have a good chance to win?

>>23384486
Sorta. Without the Sith manipulating them, I would think less of their leadership would be psychos trying for a gold medal in war crimes, but they'd still be under heavy corporate influence. The attempted peace between them might still go through, but there's nothing that would stop say the Trade Federation from assassinating Senator Bonteri on the sly so the peace effort fails. I do wonder who their leader would be without Dooku though. Probably not Grievous because he was personally chosen by Dooku. Not to mention the conflict between the Mon Calamari and the Quareen probably wouldn't have happened without Dooku's influence.

In military terms it's hard to say. The official numbers have the GAR outnumbed like a million to one, but even if you estimate troop numbers more conservatively they'd still be outnumbered. You might see more organic troops than in the actual timeline though.

>>23384486
yes, IIRC the CIS was developing better droids that were strong enough that Sheev had to leak the location of the factory. And lets not forget that most of the breakthroughs of the republic including decapitation attacks were spearheaded by the Jedi

why not make billions of these guys only?

>>23384486
Their victory would be recognized independence and successfully leaving the Republic. I think so.

How do you say 'Roger roger,' in German?

I'm down for sexy robots, but something about this trend screams viral marketing to me.
Maybe I'm just not used to how fast memes flower and die in the current year, or maybe I just really fucking hate everything Disney does now and by extension people who are still fans of it.

>>23384717
Too expensive, impractical, specialized for combat only and for specific combat situations. Let us say you want to man a checkpoint. B1s can do this, probably for a significant period of time without being serviced, and they can be swapped out with multiple other units. If any are damaged, they are cheaply replaced, if they need to move, they will always be just as open to attack or not regardless of anything. With humanoid forms, they can man any machine humanoids can operate, hence they can use vehicles, tools, etc. as well as actually have dialogue with organics, which is something of a necessity for policing them. Above all, B1s are cheap and easily mass-produced; any losses can be swiftly replaced at little cost.

Droidekas need to shift between rolling and walking movement to get anywhere, which is a significant weakness. They are not humanoid and have no manipulators, so they cannot use tools, operate machines (without them being specifically modified to interface with them or vice versa), and I don't think they are capable of vocalizing at all. If they do not have their shields they are vulnerable, and even with those they are susceptible to heavy weapons, as well as notably less mobile. Overall they are obviously more costly than B1s and likely cannot be produced as quickly or cheaply. To build a Droideka army would require significant reworks and variants on the design to make them more friendly to mass production and broader use cases.

>>23385294
It's the former. This thread is a direct offshoot of a series of twitter posts about the leftmost battle droid in this image.

>>23384486
If Sheev isn't behind the scenes tipping the scales, the CIS have more than an even shot. They can probably extend the war a long long while and end up with a white peace ante bellum

Even in ep3 the droid army still has enough juice to go on offensives while extracting enormous costs on the defense.

>>23385422
Droidekas are a specialized tool that aren't really practical to use outdoors even. They can't navigate stairs or even slight inclines.
They also look hugely expensive.

They are great for defending space stations and the like though

Yeah point defense in narrow corridors is what they do, and they do it brilliantly.

the thing that is wrong with you is that you're not hanging out with people who are already into this. i get at least bi weekly posts of sexy droids in the group chat.
