dont bother learning one devs break all det droids in publish 21. unless they fix it all but the basic types of droids are broken on TC right now, including bomb droids. u cant detonate them.

to name the droid, program it 4 times using the same name, for example; right click it > program > Follow Me - droid will say "?" - type /tellpet bob follow - do the same again for Follow Target - type /tellpet bob chase

do this for 4 commands and the droids name will change to (bob)

or you can put it in your group and do whatever command target next group member is

Thank you very muchI got it named and targeted now to try it out.

so you use detonate first and then have him follow target right? approx how far away can you be when you do that? how much distance can it travel b4 it blows up?

No...you tell it to /chase (default command) or whatever you program for follow target first..then when its in range target the droid and then /det (starts countdown). Personally... I find bomb droids a waste of credits...lately the bomb droids are not getting close enough to actually do full blast damage (they stop about 10 meters from the target-melee range) and the target only takes peripheral damage rather than full damage. Hell...I can do 2 carbine shots (adv crit and Imp Leg shot and do more damage in the same amount of time. Waste of time and creditsimo unless you can get one right up on your target (5m or less)and your target is totally oblivious to its presence.

The only viable and really successful use I find with bomb droids is to not even tell it to chase my target. On the "rare" occasion I do use one, I'll keep it parked right next to me and when the jedi rushes me (they always do), since I'm a MCM, I'll paralyze them and then blow it up in their face as I'm debuffing them.

Some advice....don't bother naming it at all....group with it... /tellpet chase (when you have your jedi targeted)....click on the droid in your group pane when its close enough and then type /det. Don't want to type...just create two macros /tellpet chase and /det . No hassles with a targeting macro or naming a droid every time.

Regards.
