So here is the question, would a ship be broken if it could take two droids.

I would say, maybe. Probably yes. Two of the droids help with target locks, but the rest seem to help with survivability. Certain combinations might make a ship difficult or near impossible to take down. If a pilot had determination, an R5 Astromech and R5-D8, he could potentially be deiscarding all of his damage back to full hull. Additionally, an R2 Astromech and R2-D2 would rejuvinate the shields, easily. What would be worse? A pilot with determination, R5-D8 and R2-D2. Flip over all Pilot crits, discard regular damage, restore shields.

The other sde of the argument would be that the large ship would not be able to completely restore hull/shields if the opponent kept up the attack.

Three or more droids on a large ship would be a nightmare to kill. One droid, not so bad.

I personally do think that the droids would be interesting as crew. I mean R2-D2 and threepio both rode in the falcon... surely they could help crew the ships.

R2D2 and that one that makes all 1-2 speed maneuvers green. On any of them, this would be great.

I don't want to see droids on large ships, or at least not with their current abilities. Do you think you'd ever see a Falcon that isn't running R2D2?

And when you add daredevil to that - you end up with dual shields back per turn, which sounds a weee bit crazy.

Maybe they should make crew cards of the droids. Different or modified abilities maybe?

Not really, the daredevil maneuver is a white 1 bank regardless of what your dial has on it (stated on the card).

As for droids on larger ships the Empire don't have any droids, but then there are also no faction limitations on droids....

I noticed that too. I half expected R2-D2 to say "rebel only."

R2 says that all 1 and 2 speed maneuvers may be treated as green maneuvers, and says nothing about the "dial" - it just cares about performing a maneuver - Daredevil has you perform a white 1 turn maneuver. -> it's a maneuver and thus is green. Designers responded that it would be a green maneuver and not give stress back before the errata. Now, it would still turn green, but give you stress from the card effect. R2D2 only cares about completing a green maneuver.

Furthermore, this exact situation is addressed regarding R2 and Ion. The Ion card reads that you preform a 1 white straight, regardless of dial. R2 overrides this and makes it a 1 green. As such, this combo would indeed make daredevil a green maneuver (and thus R2D2 would recover a second shield)... but you'd still get a stress due to the wording of the card.

Chewbacca with R2 Astromech and R2-D2 would probably never die.

No!

For game balance and fluff reasons, so many of them! The only medium-large ship I can see having an Astromech slot is the Naboo Royal Cruiser, and even then only one. The incredible boost in survivability and maneuverability would be okay, since the ship has no weapons of its own.

EDIT: Gut reaction over, I could kinda maybe see a yacht having one, like the Lady Luck or Jade Shadow , which supposedly can even be flown by droids for short periods of time. They'd be armed, but would have to have pretty sluggish dials (i.e., HWK- Lambda ) for it to be fair.

What if the ship had zero agility?

If the Lambda has 1 agility, EVERYTHING has at least 1 agility

What about the huge ships like the GR75.

Two droids walk into a large ship

The bartender says, "We don't serve their kind here"

It has 0 because it is frickin massive. It's like throwing rocks at a barn: if you miss, it's your fault, not the barn's
