six is the number of entertainer effects modules, and also the max number of module slots available (the adv R3). So there won't be any "fully-equipped" entertainer bots. You'll have to give up an effect to get the playback module.





Well, that make me sad As the playback modules also stack (i believe) and I was hoping to have a droid ready to rumble with the FX and several backing tracks... looks like i'll have to have a few droids then

Ouch your right, thought there was only 5 special effects. That kinda stinks, now if we put them out for sell we have to list effects.

You shouldn't have to list them if you put them out in Deed form.


The Deeds should show ALL installed modules right there via "Examine".

Atlantiss, don't be sad - the R3 can hold 6 modules so it would only need to be missing one FX module to have the Playback module too, so get your local DE to make one without your least favourite effect.


Iwould be looking to charge around 35k for an R3 with 6 modules but this will differ greatly between servers








Well, i'd be looking to but a couple of droids anyway as i'd like a few playback modules so i can have backing in different instruments without having the re-record each time. Now, i'm also not 100% sure on this but how many droids can a non-de have in the datapad... 5? Still, mix and match droids with proper working non-de paint tools will be cool.... This has cheered me up

Personally, I'd only make one of these for a custom job, my pre-built R3 models would be 6x playback as they stack or all 6 FX modules. I could easily sell one of each to a duet

**edit**! All the R series droids only accept combat socket clusters! So far the only droids I've found that holds a general are ADV load lifter, and ADV Surgical. And thats only one socket cluster. Is this a bug in the new publish, or are R-series combat only now?

You can place non-combat modules on the Combat Capable cluster... we've been doing this since P7.

I don't want to under or over sell these, so...


What are you guys pricing the "Uber FX" droids with all 6 effect mods?

Re-read what he wrote again man....


You can place non-combat modules in a combat cluster, you don't need to make general clusters at all for the R3 units

I made one of these for a entertainer friend, very neat effects. I especially like the dancing jawas effect! I dont think I will mass produce these, only custom make them for anyone who asks, but I do like these new modules!

I made an Entertainer Droid for a Master Dancer, and advised her that she could use it outside. She was using it outside, and the droid effects were working, but she said that someone else who was watching her didn't notice any reduction in their Battle Fatigue. I didn't have any mind wounds, so I couldn't check for myself.

Am I missing something? Should it be working?
