Just a quick Q on the maintainance droids - do you actually get to see the droid attending the structure - that would be cool - would certainly highten the prescence of droids in-game. If not, (the droid just vanishes into thin air)I feel the Dev's have missed a trick.
Droid just vanishes and your unable to call it depending on what it says after you hit GO! - maintenance does seem to arrive immediately no matter how long it says the droid will return.
Also, can someone check on the time taken to vs. droid chassis. Eg. is a DZ70 faster than a protocol at performing the task? If not, again it'd be really cool to see a protocol attending harvesters out in the field if my fist point is answered in the positive. Shame it can't empty the hoppers too tho - if you can't see the droid performing the task then there's no 'coolness' factor (or indeed point) in having one TBH...
Due to the fact that there is no animation - i doubt that there will be a time difference - it will most likely be module dependant only - but we can try a few other types.
Oh, and while I'm on the subject... are there new animations for the scout modules & the medic module?
so far - i have only tried them on the MSE - i will give them a try on the LE.
Overall, from the patch notes I think I may just have to keep subscribing to SWG for a little longer -it ISa lot better than I was expecting after the abysmal Publish7. That is, of course, just reading the patch notes -lets hope the actual Live Publish lives up to thepatch notes!
So far - they are just as described - still buggy but TK-421 is working on that
Cheers to Jenden, TK & the others for the work on TC - I'd gladly help out but don't fancy grinding through DE for a second time!

Ok, checked out more combat stats, I made a probot with 5 CR84 combat modules and he came out with 161-170 with .77 speed and .4 to hit. Bit better damage than before, plus the increased HAM makes them pretty nice.
Hey Jenden
I must have missed the HAM on the Probot, think you could post them again? I only saw the HAM on the LE and an R-series.
Also, Thanks for all the work you and the other TC DE's have put in. I dont think we say it enough.
Hey all -
Can anyone post more specific data on the survey droids?

I've been thinking a bit about this two. I think it'd look good if when you finished giving the command to the droid it would, depending on what's around it in priority order:
1) head into the closest starport within 200m;
2) head into the nearest building within 200m or
3) wander off in a random direction for 200m
When it gets into the building or gets 200m away from the starting point have it store itself.
Yup. If you have Admin rights, you can add the structure to your droid's list.

Has anyone tested the cycle rate of the Stim Despenser Module? If that sucker will pump out heals with out a delay inbetween, it might do BETTER than B's for folks with low level hed skills.
Since this wasn't answered...it's 10 seconds/heal. I timed it myself.
On scout module:
1) If the droid is grouped with the scout, can they both harv each corpse?
2) If so, can the droid harv meat while the scout harvs hide?
If you need to get at this thread quickly, there's a link to it in the new stickied "Publish 8 Hot Topics!" post.
Note: I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen a post fill up so fast on the DE boards. I don't know what that means...but there ya have it.
