Batteries are a great way for DE's to make money while their profession is horribly broken.

Do what I do. Buy five crates and then forget about them for the next month.

We should just be thankful that our profession works

how about a battery that costs like 30k - that only DE can make that I have to use once every month of actual in game play ? The tediuosness is rediculous - I never remember them charging R2 in a fight - or stoping to power up 3po while running for their lives ! Its just tedium - and I would rather buy like Lithium ION Steroid cells and forget about it for a month !

And if droids run out of power so quickly will
Lightsabers require NEAR endless power sources ? I mean afterall they must require LOADS of power and such a tiny item in comparison to a droid would surely not be able to store alot of power !

I was thinking the same thing...why don't they sell me a battery that will last 1 month and sell it to me for 50k to 100k. I don't give a hoot about the money by it's annoying as hell to have to feed it battery all the time.


Sell me some Duracell battery that will last longer than 20 minutes! Cost is no object but annoyance is a deterrent to fun in this game!

Sorry, this is out of my league.

I don't know anything about lightsabers--probably check the Jedi forum on that one

You can probably get answers on the rest in the DE forum. Maybe they could add a longer life battery to their top 5?

we just heal people ya know?

Now when i whip up some batteries for a recent customer and get a 99% on the experimentation i expect to see a nice stack of batteries. But i only get four. Is this the case with everyone else, or am i missing something?

Grrrrr, thats what i thought, i mean 99% is 99% it dont get no betta.


But seriously whats up with that, i think they should stack 10 personally but ill settle for just 5, whats with 4 where did that come from. Not that it matters since the batteries last much longer now adays, "its just a small point of pride," as Bob Wier sang once.

I believe that on "the night of different experimentation" (i.e. Publish 7 before they reverted crafting the next day)some people made 100% stacks with 5 batts per stack.

I haven't tested thoroughly but my guess is that it goes something like this:

0% -24% = 1 batt

25% - 49% = 2 batts

50% - 74% = 3 batts

75% - 99% = 4 batts

100% = 5 batts







So, let me get this straight: To advance my character, I have to give up my current abilities?

I'vecrafted stacks of 5 batteries back in the beginning of the game, with 998 conductivity resources, howerver much has change since then so it may be near imposible to get that now.

as a Droid user id just like to say


i would really love it IF we could use the storage in droids to place extra batteries, so that when the current battery gets low

the droid will auto recharge itself with the batteires its carrying


oh and while im at it, lets have a power station for our houses so our droids can have a recharge point, in house only


id also like to see a wonder or roam command so i dont have to lay out specifc patrol points, would be better than having them doing predicted laps in the house


just my thoughts

Thanx for the feedback gage its always nice to hear from a customer. I like your idea about a power station for homes, but what exactly did you have in mind to supply the power, an input hopper of energy? The idea about wandering is not gonna be implementable, pets have enough problem navigating obsticles when they are following, and in order to have them wander it would still be a preset path, they arent gonna give droids AI just for this feature.
