Artisan Archive

DEs can place a module that sends the droid to where your harvesters are to pay the maint. You can also use interplanetary survey droids in conjunction with a 30k resource deed to see what each planet has and what the stats are from the comfort of your home.

Given the higher amount of danger associated with surveying now, I'd like to see more surveying abilities placed in the Master Artisan spot. Perhaps a global surveying ability that identifies the hot spots on the planet in general terms. You'd still have to survey once you go there but you would know that the general area has a high concentration of whatever you're looking for.

If I'm not mistaken the Binary Load Lifters were originally suppose to check and empty your harvestors, but have never worked right to my knowledge.

Also there is no need for the maintance droid module, if they run out of money they take it out of your bank account now.....so probably not worth paying a DE to make a Maintanance Droid......

A survey droid might be a good idea. These would only work on the planet you are on and perhaps only search a limited area of it, say a km or so. Would make a nice Artisan item. If you placed it initially in Engineering IV then gave a bonus to its range in Master Artisan it would be a nice touch. They would pinpoint the highest concentration in the area around you of whatever resource you set them too...you would need a sample or the resource for them to do it.

( Personally the ones we have now tha tyou can launch I think are a bit poor. They should come back I feel with at least a starting waypoing...but that's a DE concern. )
