Hum, BE clothes have the stats written on them.
+12 intimidate, sorry but I understand that a little more easlily than combat rating : 103, or why I can't use a stimpack dispencer droid (I know why, but certainly not because I looked on the droid deed).
Your tolerance of bug is probably the same as the dev : it is working, it is ok.
My tolerance is much lower : it is working if you have spent the time to understand how and why and know all the tricks to make it work mean it is bugged.
My problem is not that I don't like the way they impletmented them, my problem is they didn't finished to implement them, it doesn't look like they have the intention to finish the job soon because 'it works as intended'...
A droid showing an harvesting bonus of 108 is a bug for me.
A droid showing a combat rating of 512 is a bug for me.
Don't get me wrong, these bugs are small for me too.
It's the number that bother me.
A thousand of small bugs is much worst than 1 big bug.

Told you we have different standard.
Program a for the attack command is not a trick.
It is badly implemented but it is not a trick.
Teaching 5 command to name a droid is the same.
Those aren't bugs, but change request.
I never said that other professions don't have bugs, I've said we have more than them.
Did you have a look at the instruction manual link you gave?
Don't you see a difference with the droid manuals?
Hint : Except the number of lots and item for the houses of the Architect, wich aren't shown on the deed, and that is a bug, all the other stuff are aimed at their respective professions, not their customers.
You don't have ot read the WS FAQ to know how to use a weapon, you don't have to read the Tailor FAQ to wear a cloth.
That is the difference.
To give you a Real Life exemple, (I don't know the macintosh at all, but will asume hardware is not compatible with PC) would you buy a hard drive if it was not written on it wich interface it has, if it's PC or mac, and no information about the size?
I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
And that's how the droids looks like atm.
Funny that you talked about CH.
Go to a BE shop that sell pets, and have a look at the list of info shown on the examine window of the deed.
Do you know if you can use it or not? Yes.
Do you know all the releva&nt info concerning his damage? Yes.
Do you know his armor? Yes.
Now try to do the same with a droid.
And, also, after seeing the Pet info on the examine window, come and tell that on the exact same window there isn't enough room to show all the relevant info for a droid.
Missing relevant information is a bug, not a way of implementing. That's what happen when you don't finish a job.
