Thread: Power of a droid
It's all speculation, since no one wants to give us actual answers, but it would make sense if what you say is true about droid power, buffing in a medcenter would be typicly more consistant, or stable. It's not. The same swings occur, and I don't mean between individual buffs.Multiple characters completely clean of all wounds(even if it doesn't matter)and BF can get full sets that vary WILDLY. For example, I will buff one person in a medcenter for no less than 2400 on every hit of 6. Then the next person gets a set where none go higher than that. No BF on either player at all. This scenario has happened HUNDREDS of times, where a COMPLETE SET is more efficient than the next and vice versa. And the same thing will happen with droid buffing. I could buff an exceptionally LOW set, accidently leave my droid out until the point of powering down, then pull a set good enough to place a smile on my face.
All evidence, to me, so far has pointed to the fact that there is no evidence. Either this is all just coincidence in our experiences, or there are other factors besides BF, or even droid power if it's true, that we are aware of.
Well there is a HUGE variability factor no matter how you look at it. You jsut have to be aware of all the modifiers.
Overall, at Master Doc in a Med Center on a patient with no BF (thus reducing all variables to approxomately 100% with the Master Doc's 100 Wound Treatment skill, 1.0 healing factor of the hospital and no reduction occuring from BF) the variability would appear to be a modifier of 1-3x the base power. So if you had an Enahnce pack with a base power level of 800 you should be buffing for anywhere between 800 and 2400. in all you should be averaging around 1600.
Eesh, and I was climbing the wall trying to figure out the numbers past weekend.
When did this change? I rather liked old system of droid working at 100% then stop working and telling me to feed it more batteries than these new system where it just sit there and give me crummy buffs.
I guess the "work around" to this problem is feed the droid batteries before any buffing session. (Is it me or do Doctor profession seems like "king of work around" profession? well at least we have some kind of solution to everything we face.)
