I put a personality chip in my protocol driod and I dont notice him talking to me. He did say salutations the other day to me when i pulled him out but im not sure if the rest of the stuff he says is just what they all say.


I wish they would make the driods talk more.

Are there module level limitations based on the droid type?


(Can an MSE hold the same lv6 module that an advR-type hold, just the R-type holds more of them?)


and...


Do Armour Modules stack? (Adv Binary load lifter w/ 3 lv3 armour modules = 120%resists?)

Any droid with a module slot can hold any general module. There are mixed opinions of whether or not the droid chassis has an effect on the effectiveness of the modules.

Armor modules do stack (sortof), but it's not additive. One level 6 armor module produces Medium armor at 40% resists. You can achieve the same result with 2 Level 4 armor modules. (Medium 40% is the hard cap)

The 1st 10% of the code takes 90% of the time; the remaining 90% of the code takes the remaining 90% of the time.

I know we can only have one droid out at a time, but is there any limit on the number of droids a person can own, the way there is with creatures?

Since Personal Harvesters have been changed to General Crafting XP, they make amuch faster XP grind to get to Novice Droid Engineering than Bone Armor Chestplates or Travel Backpacks.

/doh

I need to learn to read. The answer to my question's in there:

Q: How many droids can I have at one time?
You can have 5 droids in your datapad. You can only have 1 droid "out" at a time.

I am a BH using a Probot Droid. I noted that when I clicked on the options it gave me a choice number "4" which states something to the effect "Use Vitality Pack." what is a Vitality Pack? If I need them, who sells them? I can't find any at a Bazar Terminal.


Thanks for any information.

Can we please get this updated? There's three questions which have to be put in here

What does it mean when it says "My Droid's customisation has faded a little more"

"Why has my droid stopped functioning/Why can't I heal with it any more"

"What does *Low Power* mean?"


It's getting very tiring seeing the same threads come up 4 to 5 times a day right now.

Just a note after the most recent patch (where they changed Artisan Installations to give General Crafting Exp instead of Architect Exp...)


since you basically get 2 xp per resource used... for grinding I find the best choice to be the Personal Mineral Extractor... now you get about 500 General Crafting Exp a pop--though I will admit that gathering the three or four different resource types can be somewhat of a headache.

When I was grinding up to novice DE, I was getting a little over 500xp per with Bone Armor Breastplates on practice mode, and the resources are a bit easier to get on them. Just personal experience.

Here goes!


#1 - Its sort ofa bug. We DE's can color droids now, but every time you call out your droid, those colors fade a bit more. Even if you havent colored your droid, it says the colors are fading everytime you call it out.


#2 - Becouse it has low power read #3


#3 - Low Power means exactly that. Low Power. Droids need power to operate, to take orders. Without power they still go on doing whatever command you gave last (attack, patrol, follow) but It cant take new orders. You need a Droid Battery or someone with a power droid to recharge it.


Hope this helps :d



Cheers!

You're right, it was a dumb question. Ok, kidding aside, this is actually a common question. You droid would act just like a normal crafting station. All you have to do is stand near it to use the functions of it. One thing to keep in mind though is, don't stand closer than 10 meters to any crafting stations, or other droids in the are when you start up the craftin process. The crafting station field on the droid will cancel out with any crafting stations of the same type in the area.
