How exactly would one go about building a basilisk war droid (from star wars expanded cannon) in eclipse phase 2e? how do you represent orbital drop capability? or the ability to carry a pilot. Would this be an entirely new morph, or just a highly modified reaper or arachnoid? what are its stats and cost? I'm still pretty new to the system, but have been mulling this over for a couple of weeks and am no closer to an answer, and would very much appreciate some input.
Welcome! These forums will be deactivated by the end of this year. The conversation continues in a new morph over on Discord! Please join us there for a more active conversation and the occasional opportunity to ask developers questions directly! Go to the PS+ Discord Server.

I assume you refer to https:/
I assume you refer to https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Basilisk_war_droid since a Basilisk "war droid" in Eclipse Phase would be more akin to a black sphere floating around emitting basilisk hacks with all kind of sensory stimuli... XD
In First Edition it is quite simple: grab your favorite synthmorph, be it a Reaper, an Arachnoid, a Quartz... and slap Extreme Temperatures resistance (or remove the vulnerability to cold from the Quartz). Add weapons as desired, and AGI/egos as directing "consciousness".
In second ed, I'm not sure the temperatures mod was available yet.

You can also grab the stats
You can also grab the stats of Arachnikoma - the bigger variant of Arachnoid (Morph Recognition Guide page 7). It can seat a normal morph inside itself so it can be used as both a seated mech and is large enough to be ridden.
Replace half of the legs with articulated weapon mounts add jet engines, add Combat Armor, add high-dive suit (Sunward somewhere) as built-in hardware and you can have your orbital drop death doggo. Weapons are up to you.
For the sentience and powerful bond put an Uplifted Muse (partially) inside. Or a dedicated AI. Better to not give so much power to a smart animal ego.
