Proposal
The SW universe is a droid heavy universe. They are everywhere at all levels of society. So it would follow that walking around you would see a lot of them, and just as importantly a lot of broken ones, parts of ones, droids in a transport state, etc.

Players on this server have done a fantastic job of decorating some of the cities/homes/public buildings. Honestly its pretty increadible sometimes. In a lot of those places they use droids very effectively to create the look they want. One thing they are missing is droid parts. Given how many there are, you should see a droid arm here or there tossed in a corner. A pile of droid legs someone threw out. etc.

DEs can sell full droids for decoration, but I propose we add schematics to DE to allow crafting of parts for decoration:
  • feet
  • legs
  • hands
  • arms
  • heads
  • torsos
One that caught my eye was in Droid Factory 2 there are rows of Battle Droids in the folded up "shipping" state, so the model is there, we just need a schematic for it.

If anyone needs inspiration, go look at Ofo's droid lab on Tat. If we could also give them all of these parts that place would be awesome.

This also gives DEs something easy (not schematics 3-4 levels deep in subcomponents) they can craft/sell before they get established and ready to make full droids.

UPDATE: As noted below by @Veizyr - "make the chassis still and the full deed animated" so both are available for decoration depending on what your desire. Or a choice to toggle it on/off
Justification
This would help the many players, who clearly love decorating, by giving them more tools so show of thier skills with. It would help make emmersive player cities and buildings.
Motivation
The world is too clean, with this many droids, there should be broken droids. I hear there is a Player City focused update on the plans, this would fit nicely with that.

While we’re at it. It would be awesome if animations could be disabled on droid chassis so they don’t move when you put them down. Deeds could move and chassis would be still that way players would still have the option of using both.

All for more DE stuff and all for more decorations.

Are droid chassis appearances currently animated versions of the droids?

Yes. Every droid that is DE crafted whether it be the full deed form or the chassis is animated. I have a display wall in my house with every droid you can craft and it looks like a scene from Disney’s “it’s a small world” ride.

I don’t necessarily think animated decoration droids don’t have a place though and the idea to make the chassis still and the full deed animated would allow for both options to remain available.
 
Personally, I love the moving chassis. These guys have whole conversations all day long.

This is a good point and I'll update the main PV so the point isnt lost (not to steal your idea). As long as both can be achieved everyone wins.
