Thread: A few stupid questions.
For the armor, I personally currently use 2 level 3 because I don't have the ressources for level 4 and result is 20% armor, dunno if it's the max.
On copper, copper is very often good, because main stats are always conductivity and overall quality, so most of the copper that spawn are at least usualy good (1 stat above 900 and the other above 700). Well, that's my experience.
hope that help.

Ok back with a couple more.
1. Verifying that the "power" droid is totally useless.
No...these should be working. With one of these out and charged with a battery, it will power any other 'local' droids. Repair modules should work in them now as well.
2. The new Auto Repair Module has made the old repair droids and modules obsolete correct?
No, I don't think so.
3. How do you repair the "black bars" on Droids?
Repair modules (not Auto-Repair modules). You can also make/use Reconstruction kits on your own droids or on someone else's...but only DEs can use them.
Yes, like I said these are stupid....
Respectfully,

1. If something calls for a Diagnotic ckt or a Capacitor, you can use advanced ones right? It's not like Droid brains where it can't be advanced. I would test and try, but I'm lacking a couple of resources for the D versions which I hope to get today.
2. At what point is the HAM determined? When making the Chasis or the Deed? I have some awesome Fibro, should I use that during Chasis, Deed, or both?
Thx again.
Yes, you can use advanced repair kit components when makingrepair kits; youhave to make new schematics of course if you plan to factory-make them.
HAM is detemined by OQin the final assembly stage, and experimenting on Effectiveness.

Something important to you that no one else mentioned is the artisan components that you make for yourself such as EGPs and EMMs. When making these don't bother doing any experimenting and use the crappiest resources you have because the quality of the finished component has no bearing whatsoever on the finished droid. I have personally tested this with my artisan friend and found it to be true.
Ok thx, yea I'm Master Artisan as well, so I make my own parts from that.
Ok, since Ham is found from the final stage (Deed,) I can just use crap resources on the Chasis?
Ok, so from what I understand, resource quality and experimentation only matters on... Brains (for combat modules,) the new Modules (some of them,) Combat modules, and the final product (deed.)

As near as we can tell, this is correct.

My experience is that the quality of Droid Brains doesn't matter in anything. It has had no noticeable effect on any of the combat modules I have made, for example, and I have made 100% Combat Modules with 87% Droid Brains. Off the top of my head I cannot think of any use for Droid Brains where the quality of the brain makes any difference.
the new Modules (some of them,)
Quality seems to be relevant in some way in just about all of them. In fact, off the top of my head I can't think of any new modules where quality doesn't matter.
Combat modules, and the final product (deed.)
Correct. Note that quality of subcomponents appears to be irrelevant in the final combine for purposes of the combine. In other words, using a 0-rated Combat Module in a droid will not affect the final combine itself, but of course it will make for combat droid that doesn't do much damage.
