Thread: Why are R3 Exploding droids so expensive?

Quick question: I'm a new MDE and i'm doing factory runs of the parts right now to do 100 R3 det droids...my modules are power 9...so i figured it'd be 54 det power (6x9)...(and the 989 OQ tolium gas only cost me 12 CPU...after seeing the 50CPU number up there i think i just got REALLY lucky rofl). However i see a number of other MDEs referring to odd numbered det powers...59 was meantioned above. Is there a line in the experimentation of one of the parts that's increasing the overall value of the combined modules? Is there aninvisible value like they are really 9.3421... and we won't know till the entire droid is assembled? Or am i simply missing something here on how to increase it further?


Thanks!

57 power on my R3... I sell for 140k and wont go any lower. I get complaints, but I sell a LOT w/o complaints. Price has to be that high because I bought some really good Tolium. I can't give them away.

As a Smuggler, it would be nice to see somebody specialize in just bomb R3 droids!

I can garauntee you that if people read this thread, they would have no problems paying 100k for an R3 Det Droid around 53-57 det power.

There is someone on my server who is selling level 53's for 44.5K a pop. Man and I thought mine were cheap ...


If any decent Tolium Gas spawned on any server you would see harvesters all over the place just soaking it up from the ground. Recently (about a month ago) on my server we had a 763OQ spawn, best stuff in what has to be at least 6 months if not more and almost same quality (only one 900+ spawn ever and that was near the beginning of the game). There were harveters just planted all over the place. I was lucky and caught the spawn within a couple hours of it starting, I now have a nice stock of about 2.1 million units (I had about 2.4 when I was finished, but I've used alot so far).

ya, i'm finding that i am gonna run through 100k of it after making around 200 R3 det droids (i think mine are gonna end up either 56 or 57 det power now that i've gotten the combat modules cranked outta the factory). That was using OQ 989 Tolium gas...and then i see a post on the forum that i actually bought that gas from a diff vendor in the same mall not his...go back and he's got 950ish (forget exact number) for 5 CPU...and i paid 12 CPU for the 989 stuff...and i'm seeing folks all over saying 50CPU is pretty common price on all servers and it's hard to come by 900+ stuff....i'm sensing that i'm *extremely* lucky Anyways...very easy to run through alot of this stuff..too bad it's so rare.
