Another problem with droidekas is that their model is too big/thicc that it becomes a very easy target and all droidekas die very easily, just like the B2 droid (its hitbox is too big so it is an easy kill and not to mention the weak weapons it has).
Even if you gave them very OP weapons they would be dying very easily.
My opinion is that it is/will be a very weak EC so EPs will not use it (just like B2).
A way to fix it is to somehow add the shields they had in the Republic Commandos game (a powerfull shield that could tank tons of damage and might was a rechargeable shield, do not really remember) but that might require new addons to be added in the server.
