A known issues entry will be created and maintained. We hope to have it in place for Publish 7.

can we please have our known issue list as a document available in game. after all, if its so easy to change the entry, we can quickly remove items as they are fixed.
It would be nice to be able to access that list in game when I get an unusual order im not sure about.
Title it simply. Known Droid Issues
The list has already been created. Im referring to our continuously updated sticky located here http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=droid_engineer&message.id=56510
- What is the maxium storage capacity of a droid?
1 million items. (Oops...that's just the exploit I've been using...forget I said that.)
The maximum number of items that can be stored in a droid is 10, currently.
Note: This maximum can only be achieved via the use a Level 6 Droid Item storage module or by 'stacking' 2 Level 4 Droid Item storage modules.
I don't mean to netpick, but when it was stated this went live, I checked on the wording on the live server and this note is incorrect. You can hit the storage hardcap with many more module combinations than just these. You could use 5 level ones for example or just one level 5. While it is true this is the most common way it is done, it is not the only way.
Perhaps it can read this can be achieved by using one level 6 droid Item storage module or stacking multiple lower level droid storage modules in a droid.
I thought it was best to have this corrected early, so I posted this before really checking the other Droid help files. I will spend some time reading them and see if I can add anything useful.

This sentence must be removed, it is not correct at all. You can get a lvl 6 by stacking 2 well experimented lvl3 modules... And what about stacking 5 lower level modules?? I haven tried by I guess that works too.
There are too many posibilities not included in your answer that work aswell.
This one stuck out to me as well. Its will take a little while to get the kinks in the KB banged out, but it is very encouraging to see chagings taking place before our very eyes. CSRDavidF is doing a remarkable job by getting the KB put together. I'm planning on setting aside a couple of hours this weekend to try and come up with a few suggestions, as well as updating the stickies, drawing up a DE FAQ and trying to take care of a few odds and ends.
The KB looks to be growing pretty quickly and I'm hoping that we will see a lot more Droid related content, especially after the next few Publishes 
Yes...that's true. I think it is more correct to say:

"This maximum can be attained via the use of 1 Level 6 Droid Item storage module or via 'stacking' some number of lower-level (1-5) Droid Item storage modules."
How's that?
Thanks for pointing out my misleading answer, all...

Respectfully,
rather then have a one sentence comment about stacking of modules why don't they just take your table Drashk, the one that shows how the module rating corresponds to the final functionality of the module and then explain how the ratings add together when there are multiple modules of the same type in the droid.

I'm thinking we wouldn't want numeric details in the KB that might change over time (do to future changes). I would personally think it best to write the best generic 'catch-all' answer that will address the question even IF there are some future changes.

Actually...they have a function.

Personality chips (installed in droid chassis that can accept them) will change the way your droid 'talks' to you when you use the "Converse" menu, program commands and so on. Currently, the 'use' of personality chips is seen primarily, and almost always, by the owner. The reason that Personality chip droids don't appear to "do" anything is that they don't talk out much, of their own volition, in-game.
Note: I have personally seen that I've needed to first fully program the droid (after taming) and store/recall the droid for the personality chip to 'activate' in the menu windows. It doesn't appear to function right when you tame the deed.

Uhhhh...they all behave in the same manner, but the responses that the different chips give is different. Your statment made it sound as if you'll see the same text on screen regardless of what's installed.

The problem is it doesnt matter what you put in, they all respond the same.
That's not the case.
