Yo, i heard there were droids you could get so you can have more stored pets. Is this true? If so, what type of droids?

That was before the big patch.
You can no longer store pets in droids.

I would like to know what the storage feature actually does on a droid.
I need to purchase a med type droid and do not know if storage would be of any use....does it hold items or only schematics and waypoints? Or both?
Thanks a ton 8)

An item storage module holds items. A data module holds data - waypoints specifically. The capacity varies depending on the level of module installed. A level 1 can only hold 1 item, but a level 6 can hold 10. (At last I checked anyway.)
If you're interested in a droid that can have multiple modules, then for a medical droid, I would recommend:
1. Medical module.
2. Food/Chemical crafting module.
3. Item storage module.
That combination is handy for healing, making your meds, and storing some crafting supplies in a handy spot.

actually, the data storage modules do not hold waypoints, they only hold factory schematics (just tested it out now to make sure it hadn't changed). The only thing you have to watch out for is storage won't work in surgical droids.

Take the item storage, you can store your items without fear of decay. They even don´t lose their insurance.

Item storage really shouldn't work in surgicals, either... I mean, where do they hold stuff? The same goes for Treadwells, MSEs, Protocols, etc -- I can see putting item storage in an R unit, Power Droid, or BLL (if it were possible), but the others just shouldn't be able to store items. Every droid should be able to store data. Furthermore, I think that item storage should be relative to the size of the droid (BLL should/could/would hold more than an R2).

Well, i think its a general consensus that the amount of storage is kinda skimpy. I think in general its fubar, i could have 6million chunks of steel hidden in my jacket but only 60 dice... well,pfft. Anyway, thats not the issue, yet.
First off, medium houses should have more storage, even if its only 10 more, they should have more, no reason for them not too. Thank you come again do it.
Okay, now, everyone needs more storage, if you are a rper or just a cool leveler, you want to decorate your house, and you need to store stuff in it. You got backpacks, containers, blahblah. And a bunch of useless furniture. hmm, they come together here... Make the chests actualy able to hold stuff, same with cabinets, bookshelfs. This would be rad, it would also boost this pathetic excuse for an economy. IMO you should also make it so bookshelfs could only hold things like records, photographs, nicknacks and book (if there are any). chests just about everything.. blah, you get it.

Although storage is nice and it would be great if more items had storage, there are also technical issues involved in all this.As it is now, the database and storage needed to hold all this information is huge and I can't even imagine all the hardrives that are required on each server. This is why there are delays when you enter a house till all the information is loaded. The more harddrives required to store information, the more delays entered into the game. There is a balance that must be maintained and I can understand why there are limits. Perhaps as technology advances we will see issues like this addressed but you need to understand that what we have now is pretty amazing dispite the loading delays. The database is not infinate and the tradeoff is at least loading delays, at worst lost data. Imagine how muchspace it would take on your harddrive to store a graphic of everything you have in your house along with variable attrubutes such as color, data such as creator, serial number, condition, and finally X,Y,Z location, and then multiply that by say 30 to 50 thousand per server. Thats just static information, that doesn't include everyone moving around, mobs, vehicles, players, and all that data and attributes. Also ten planets of static data including everything we place on them.Its pretty amazing they were able to do all that in the first place.
