All modules work this way. Multiple modules of the same type stack together and add to one another but the total cannot exceed the abilities of a level 6 module*


I am not certain, but I believe the formula is the sum of all the modules minus the number of module plus one, so two level 3 moduleshas the same effect as a level 5 module (3+3-2+1) and three level 2 modules has the effect of a level 4 module (2+2+2-3+1).


*Armor modules follow all these basic rules except that they cap at level 5, I believe.

Doesn't seem right to me, either. I built an advanced R4 with 2 level 3 plates and it came out as Medium, 25%.


However, I will point out that I was wrong about the armor being capped at 5. Since 4 is Medium, 15% and 6 gives a Medium 40% I am pretty sure that a single leve 5 plate would give you Medium 25% (based both on the way armor progresses as well as the fact that I have never seen two modules stack to a total that isn't equal to some other module). Unfortunately I don't have a spare composite plate to check that.

Hi all,


I'm MDE now, but still have some stupid questions for you. So, here wo go: may I put more then one storage module in my droid? Will it have any effect? May I put more stuff in my droid?


Thank you for your help and regards

Item storage maxes out at 10 items. This may be achieved by using either 2 level 4 modules or 1 level 6 module. Doing more than that will just waste modules.

Don't forget to check the sticky "Gorantoth's Centralized Droid Issues" - it won't work in some chassis.

Hmmm...yeah, you probably can with good resources fully experimented. I think a lot of DE's don't bother experimenting, and level 4's by default start pretty high up in storage rating.


I've never tried 2 lvl3 modules....hmmm now you have me thinking...


Oh well, I usually use lvl 6 anyways - then I can fit more junk in the droid that people want
