NPC Droid Pack

Description
Good lord, these are a LOT of droids.

Like, an insane amount. I\'ve never seen and recorded these many astromechs, let alone in game before. There are a total of [b]THIRTY-SIX[/b] droid npcs alone, not counting the available vehicles in this pack. That\'s right, you can drive some droids as well.

So basically, the best way to sum up this pack is to call it a big ol\' recolor pack. Sounds kinda crude, I know, but that\'s about accurate. The majority of the droids are simply recolors of the base textures. Some are good, some are weird, others are repeats, but most of them are not. It\'s a pretty interesting pack, and some of the designs are really appealing. I like the imperial recolor of the R5 in particular, along with some of the green R2/R5\'s. Quite intriguing.

Now, what about these vehicles? Pretty simple, you get to drive a regular R2, an imperial R2, and a regular R5. Now what Helena here has done that\'s quite ingenious is using the VH_ANIMAL vehicle class, which unlike the walker class, will NOT run over everyone you see, which was an unintended feature in some of the other packs I\'ve seen. It kinda makes it difficult when your R2 unit\'s rolling by you and he accidentally mows you down. This makes it so the droids won\'t be as much of a hazard, so you can walk alongside them without fear of getting crushed.

Now there is one minor technical nitpick I want to make. I noticed the droids seem to constantly loop the movement rotor sounds regardless if the droid is in motion or not. This may be an unintended side effect of the class, and could very well be remedied by simply jumping out, but maybe there\'s a way to fix this?

Now, am I the only one who thinks this needs a sequel? There\'s always the protocol droids to drive, gonks, and if you\'re feeling really adventurous, you can try your hand at interrogators, probes, and sentries. With a little creative .veh work, I think all of these could work beautifully. Just some food for thought thar.

Anyway, think you need moar droids to work with? Answer: This pack. VICTORY!
