Thread: Here they are, TC changes so far (all schematics available now!)
So basically, armor with a high rating that is used once and destroyed forever has been replaced with reduced armor that can be repaired and always usable."

Once again thanks for the work you are doing on TC BUT
Do you realize that with your last post in the TC Monday bug thread, you basically conceded to the Devs that AR1 would be acceptable to DE in exchange for added HAM?
IMHO we should not be volunteering to give anything up...certainly not until we have a ruling on what was/is intended.
I think maybe that was a 'tactical error' there, sorry, but I do.
No offence intended
Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. What's clear to me is that we're loosing armor and gaining HAM. It's not the tradeoff I would have choosen, and I made a judgement call on what I posted. The key thing to remember is that this will not only affect NEW droids but OLD droids as well. Everyone who bought a probot in the last 2 weeks basically wasted their credits.
TH basically said in his post WE ARE LOOSING THE ARMOR!
...I was trying to make lemonade out of lemons. It was a proposed solution, not THE solution. They will not give us AR2 with the ability to heal droids. It was probably a consession until they could implement repair kits anyway.
I dont think even TH knows what he said in his post on Armour..I honestly think that. He was trying to convey a concept he does not understand, and so worded it like he was discussing normal composite for players.
The ONLY thing a droid loses permanently is vitality..nothing else makes sense, so personally I think he was confusing wounds with HAM loss....at least I hope that is the case.
Anyway, thanks for your reply, and we shall see eh?

yes. it is a lot. but as has been pointed out elsewhere, most of the new ones are in the components for the highest level droid damage repair kits, which are capable of healing so much HAM that there is literally no need for them with the current combat droids.

With the trickle patches starting I am so glad I started mining some nice gemstone last night.
Thanks to all the TC DE's for getting this info to us.
I kinda get the impression the answer is currently no, how is it on test?
Thanks for the good work!
Just as another argument for the droid versus creature argument. Would it be possible to test this:
My question... If you have a droid with a repair module is it sill going to work like it always has?
So myR3 droid can sill heal a droids wounds completely in one shot?
This doesn't affect healing your own droids unless you transfer or have multiple accounts. I know you can not call 2 droids yet... but some day soon...

Yes, the schematic drops from the Corvette, I have yet to hear of player crafted ones but I have seen QA running around on one on TC.
They are X21's, I believe - they are modified Landspeeders (just more compact and sleek).

The new vehicle is actually the AV-21.
