The level dictates the data storage size, i.e. a Level 6 holds 150 units. What does the rating determine and why is it important?

Guide
Astromech Certifications
Each of the Pilot professions gain Astromech Certifications as they progress. The Astromech Certifications are Level based from Level 1 at Novice, to Level 6 at Master. The following chart shows theAstromech Certification progression.
Novice Pilot = Level 1 Astromech Certification
xxx1Pilot = Level2 Astromech Certification
xxx2 Pilot =Level3 Astromech Certification
xxx3 Pilot =Level4 Astromech Certification
xxx4 Pilot =Level5 Astromech Certification
MasterPilot = Level6 Astromech Certification
Pilots can use a Flight Computer or an R-series droid with a Data Module installed in a ship that is equipped with a Droid Interface device, which is a Shipwright crafted item. The level of the Flight Computer or Data Module, installed in an R-series droid, must be equal to or lower then the Pilot's Astromech Certification.
Flight Computers
&
Astromechs
Currently Astromechs are only usable in the X-Wing, both Y-Wing configurations, and the Z95. Flight Computers are used in all other ships. Each Flight Computer/Astromech has a Data Capacity that is based upon the Level. Flight Computers, just like droids, are stored in the datapad once initialized. The following chart lists the storagecapacity of each level.
Section10 - Adding it all up
In this section, I will cover how modules stack up with each other and the formulas that are used to discover what the rating mean to the base consumer.
Part 1 - Level Based Module
Stacking
Droid Armor, Item Storage, Data Storage, and Medical Modules can be stacked to produce the same rating as a Level 6 module. The following is a chart of how all stackable modules relate to each other
Module Stack MedicalItem Data Armor
Level Rating Rating Rating StorageStorage Resists
| 1 | 1 - 2 | --- | 55 | 1 | 20 | 4% |
| 2 | 3 - 4 | 3 | 65 | 2 | 40 | 8% |
| 3 | 5 - 6 | 5 | 75 | 4 | 70 | 12% |
| 4 | 7 - 8 | 7 | 85 | 6 | 110 | 15% |
| 5 | 9 - 10 | 9 | 100 | 8 | 125 | 18% |
| 6 | 11 + | 11 | 110 | 10 | 150 | 20% |
Two highly experimented Level 3 modules, with a rating of 6, can achieve the same rating as a Level 6 module. The Stacking rating is the target number that you are trying to achieve, when stacking 2 or more modules.

Or, you could just bother to look.

Best thing to do to create a sig is to create the sig that you want to see, using the forum posting ability, and then use the Edit As HTML function. Simply cut and paste the HTML version into your sig listing.

Gorantoth sure has made the DE 101 colorful
Umm.....Gorantoth?I put together the DE 101 Thread. Gorantoth gave lubricating oil, hydorspanners, and did a few unmentionable ritiuals to keep the Centralized Droid Issues going for over a year. It was renamed in his honor.
Hmm - I'm kind of a noob to posting (do alot of reading) - can anyone point me to a great post on how to do all the bell and whisles for text, signatures, etc..
To 'assign' a Droid Cert level to an astromech, just pick the right Data module and do NOT experiement on it.
Problem: Solved.

Oh, now this just sucks. If you already have an R-series droid with a top-of-the-line data module, you can't use it because it's too good for you! Instead you have to buy a new one each time you go up a level.

This example is precisely why I cautioned all to be careful about acting on what the Devs might have said during beta.
When they mentioned Data modules during beta, I'm sure many ran out and cranked on the Level 6's...not realizing it would be some time before they could be useful for sale.
Until something is actually announced as going/being Live or 100% set in stone, this is why no one should act or try to guess. It can just......go badly.
