Thread: Medical droids
Ida--the worship personality chip is just a fun addition. When I tell him stuff, he replies with things such as "Oh yes, Master, whatever you want, I'm so happy to do it."
I think there's a stupid chip out there, too, where they say stupid stuff.
Klatu's Droids
South East of Coronet, Corellia in the Starsider galaxy:
I currently have a variety of droids with the maximum medical rating of 110/110 and food/chemical crafting stations for very reasonable prices.
Get yours today!
I had this problem too, so I had to go out and buy a battery to recharge the droid. I had no idea what a batter should cost. The first bazaar terminal I came to had only one battery listed. It was 300cr. Like I said, I had no idea, so I bought it. A little while later, I checked another bazaar terminal, in another town. A guy had a crate of 25 batteries for 1850. That comes to 74 cr each. I couldn't resist, so I bought this too. I pulled one of the batteries out, just to look at it. It had 3 charges per battery. The original one had only one.
So, first I paid 300 cr for one charge, then I found 75 charges for 1850 cr or 25 credits per charge. At least NOW I know how much a battery is really worth :>![]()
Also med droid are somewhat buggy. Get better buffs in med center than in the field with droid.
Very annoying, usinga batteryfixed the problem. But the next time I pull out the droid it doesnt work again and no more batteries ![]()
I was browsing a few shops the other day and came across someone selling a +55 MedicalMSE droid for 600cr - so figuring that it might be worth trying, I picked it up.
Last night I was having a tough time healing my group and I remembered my droid. I called him at a camp and went chasing around healing people like usual. However, the first stim I threw had a very low result - I think it healed 80 where my home made stim Bs usually heal 150-350ish. I was a little surprised so I threw another. 75. And then another - 115, 160, 110and at this point I recalled my droid and the next stim was healing 200+ again.
So, it looks to me like the +55 medical droid actually reduced my medical skill! I'm just a couple of boxes from Master Medic - so to see less than 100 heals on stims is kindof rare.
Anyone got any ideas whats going on? Did I just buy a faulty droid?
Now, where did I leave the waranty?
Droids work the same as camps, in that they allow you to heal people without using a house or hospital. The trade off for this is in the amount you will be able to heal for. If you examine the statistics of a camp, you will see that low end novice scout camps havea heal modifier of 0.65. This means that while in that camp, the medics skills will be reduced to 65% of their normal ability.
This works the same way with droids. A 55 med drios is NOT a +55 droid. It does not ADD to your skill. it means that you will only be healing for 55% of your normal ability. If this is not good enough for you, you should get yourself a 100 or 110 rated droid. This type of droid will be a bit more costly than your little MSE droid.
So, the only use for my little MSE droid is to heal wounds whilst outside a camp/med center?
For everything else he just downgrades my ability.
I was planning on getting a +110 one anyway, but thought I would try the +55 as a droid introduction as it was so cheap.
Are there any difference between the droid types - R2, R5, Medical droid. If they all have a +110% and a F+C station, does it make any difference which I have?
Thanks
