I guess what I'm saying with this is that new names and faces are desireable, even if they are in similar situations.

That was actually what I had originally had in mind - After all, Kira Yamato != Amuro Ray - but I was drawing a complete blank on alternate names and, so...
IOW, if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them and will, in fact, volunteer to get out behind and push.
The point of having desdroids over full-armor kits is that the desdroid has, at a guess, at least three times the structural strength for considerably fewer parts/less cost. If you don't expect any foes sufficiently tough to overwhelm a full-armor, then adding them to your generalist design is all well and good. Otherwise, a specialist is called for - remember, the characteristics of a main battle tank are very, very different from those of an aerospace fighter. Valks might fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum, but they're still basically tissue-paper compared to, say, a Tomahawk.
A set of engineering and construction pods would, indeed, be a good idea... and before I forget, I had been thinking that most of the arm pods would actually have basic hands, rather like those on Priss or Sylia's early hardsuits.

And, again, as long as they're capable of fitting into the same plot roles, I'm all for that.

Edit: Okay, now that's freaky - I originally posted this at about 6pm...

I had wondered why you were being so quiet. ^_^;
