Added Creature Harvester Module to the DE skill tree: This module will allow any character to program and control an equipped droid to advance on the look-at target of the player and harvest the resources on the creature. The player can preset the droid to harvest one of the three types: meat, hide or bone. Or the player can just let the droid pick a random resource type.







Is this useable by any Profession? Say, a Jedi who has no Scouting skills? Can they now harvest with the Droid Module?

Just to point out that it does say ANY PLAYER, unlike the trap droid. Are you sure on this point?

Yes........................I'm sure.

You have to be a Novice Scout to use the features of this module. It's similar to a Medical module needing a Novice Medic (or higher) character to govern its use.

Respectfully,









ahhhh throw us a bone, lets make the droid modules more usefull to everyone and increase the already small and overpriced organics on the market.

Hmm... the Droid Customization kits will have more options when used by a DE... fair enough, but how about making it so that a non-DE can use the kits to refresh his droid's original colors, even if they're not colors the non-DE could choose on his own?

Im sure that this is a dumb question...but here goes

Im a master ranger with a creature harvesting mod of +100

would the droid that harvests use my mod or the mod inherent in the droid?

are these mods stackable?

For example, if the droid has +50 harvesting, would I be able to harvest even more organics?

could someone explain this to me?

BTW: I am really glad you guys are getting some of these cool things, Its about time

What ever happened to getting brand new combat droids with newmodels and such?

Droid deeds now have the appearance of the droids they represent and are customizable. The customization will carry over to the droid pet when generated. (Correspondent Issue)





Will this hold true when placed in a house? So basically I drop a deed for a DZ droid and I can finally get one of those floating orbs to appear? Is it holo-like or does it just look like a chasis? Does the name show up when you hover over it?


Thanks, any info on this would be most well recieved.


PS I don't spend time in this forum much since I pretty much just use droids for storage (packrat IRL and in game )but why is your corr getting 1 starred on every post he makes?

Wow, nice work.


I just pray they don't add another list of rare resources we need to collect for all these new modules.

So. Any new chassis? Doesn't look like it. What about >CL13 combat droids? Doesn't look like it.


I do like the survey droid though. That was home grown right in our little forum here.


The Creature harvester idea. Hmm, I forget if Kollos or I came up with that one first. But, that will help A LOT for people without Scout Skills. My original point on this one is that People can harvest ore, chemicals, etc...without any skills, but they need scout to harvest resources from dead things. This really balances & helps that.


Overall, good. I just hope that better Combat Droids are still in the works.

TH, this looks simply awesome! Great job and I can't wait to learn more about all these new items when they are on TC. I'd just like to take this time to say...."Thanks TH and Dev's"


TK, Jenden, Javelin.....we are waiting....no pressure though. You have like....what?.... 4-5 minutes to spare

That wasn't redundant or anything


Will this carry over to pre-publish droids, or will we have to buy new ones?
