Xarr

I see alot of people making R3's with 6 harvester modules and I'm wondering how they work on the field without running away. If a creature just looks at my droid it heads for the hills and runs away. That being the case I wondered how you guys got around this problem. If I put a combat module in the droid that will reduce its harvesting capability.

Please help if you can, Thanks

*dont* group with your droid and mobs can't see it.

What Cass said - don't group with your droid. I don't, and have never had mine run away.

Yes Xarr... if you replace one of the harvest modules with a combat module it will lower the harvest rating. Based on the advice of the others it doesn't sound like that's necessary though :-)

Yeesh, I didn't know not to group with my droid.

Well there's a headsmacker. Now to go remove the "useless" sticker from my harvester droid, I gave up on him after he got scared of rancors every two minutes for no apparent reason.

I never group with my droid and it still runs away. That's not the solution (if there is one).

Odd. I've never had mine get into combat, much less run away from anything.

Really flower? That's odd. It's not a probot (or a DZ) is it? Doesn't have any combat modules in it? If not, you may have found your own unique issue, worth a good 10 points in my book

I only have a +15 to my harvest creature skill, and the droid I have is supposed to have a +106, but the difference between what I can harvest with my droid stored and what my droid can harvest is only a few units, am I doing something wrong or is that pretty typical?

Typical.

Report on harvester droid show an increase of max 20% compared to the user skill.

Basically, when your skill increase, the droid skill increase too until the harvest rate of the droid is lower than yours.

It's to prevent that novice scout harvest more than master ranger.

The idea is it does help, but doesn't replace use of skill points.

Flower? LOL

I use my harvester droid constantly and religiously. Nope, it's not a battle droid / probot (have one of those - rarely use it). My harvester droid is always ungrouped, never seen the advantage of grouping with it - unless I'm missing something and if anyone could enlighten on the advantages of grouping my droid, be appreciated.

It seems to depend on the mob you're fighting. Non-aggressive mobs don't trigger it. If you're fighting aggressive mobs that are white/yellow - rarely runs. However, red mobs like Rancors? - ALWAYS runs. Commanding it to stay, etc doesn't help unless you tell it to stay very far from where you're fighting and isn't in the middle of the fight with you. As soon as you have more than one mob on you, it will run.

Just commenting on the previous claim that not grouping with it resolves the issue. It doesn't.

Flower. hehe
