Existing Droids (in datapad): No change to anything

Existing Deeds (in inventory): No change to HAM listed

Droids readied from existing Deeds: Old HAM, new combat stats

Deeds pulled from existing Crates: New HAM listed on deed

Droids readied from deeds pulled from existing Crates: New HAM and combat stats

So it basically boils down to the deed. The combat stats will always be the new stats as long as the droid is still a deed, but the HAM will only be new if the deed lists it as new. So if you have some droids that you have already removed from a crate but it is still a deed, you might be able to sell if for a cheaper price to someone who just wants some fire support and doesn't care about the droids ability to tank at all.

And to answer the comment about the guy who bought a barker droid and couldn't use it: You do need to bea Merchant, and you also need Advertising IV in order to use a Merchant Barker Droid.

Fellow DE's, please inform people of the skills they need to use certain modules. You can't just assume they know what they need, and its so dishonest to sell someone something they can't use. I could have sold 3 droids full of effects and about 10 merchant barkers if I would have just let them buy it without telling them what they need, but thats just cruel. This game is supposed to be based on community (yes, I'm addressing all of you solo groups out there too when I say that ), and to cheat another player just because they aren't knowlegable about something just isn't good. You might get asale, but you won't be getting any more from the person or the person's friends once they find out you scammed them, and you aren't helping your reputation as a person much either. Just do the right thing.....

K, my rant is over. Go back to your lives.

A jerk sold me a Structure maint.droid I used it and I was able to add 7 flora harv it took 45 min. standind next to the harv for the droid to maint. I only added 5 credits to each harv-45 min thats insane plus I was standing next my harv when I employed the droids. Extra info the droid just disapears it doesn't zoom off like BH droids. SWG you couldve added little more time on this publish.

Yup, I didn't build anything new really for the last two weeks ... now I've got 4 factories going full blast so maybe tomorrow I'll have a half-decent stock of the new droids.

Same, except only two factories. :-)

Came across some very good OQ/CD Copper a few weeks back and harvested about 75k before it shifted on me. Using half of it to make about 750 combat modules (104 cmr), which I'll then use to make several R3s and Probots (the first of which I should be able to make tonight).

Realistically, I don't think I'll have any droids premade using the new modules, but rather just use them in custom orders, as I try only to have commonly requested droids (surgical droids with 110 med and chem craft, and full combat droids) on the vendor.

Did the Detonation Modules get nerfed before they hit us? I just made a Power 8 Quality 11 module with Copper 975/951, Inert 981, and Reactive 592 (best I have). I saw earlier in the thread people talking about making Power 35+ modules!!

My own findings with the creature harvest droid.

I've got scout hunting 4. +45 Creature Harvest. My guild's MDE made a +31 harvestADV MSE for me. And I went Gurk hunting over my lunch break.

Harvests are listed as myself, myself w/ droid out, droid.

Gurk: 68 / 69 / --

Trakcer: 68 / -- / 69

Gatherer: 69 / -- / 69

So, it would appear to me that a +31 harvest droid doesn't give any bonus beyond being able to do the harvest while you're still shooting at gurks. I've got a +16 harvest standard MSE to try later and see if I end up getting LESS. Also, it didn't make any difference if the droid was grouped or not when it harvested.

SOCKET and CLUSTER help

I have been making a few custom order droids and had the same problem as many other people. General socket clusters with for example 3 entertainer effects DO NOT fit into the slot for generic socket clusters in the R droids. BUT combat clusters do. Make your entertainer and other utility modules into combat capable clusters and they fit.

Hope that helps.

first off great post ty!

I was hoping the survey droids would do more, basically swg resorce.com is far more useful, gues I can't drop surveying skill :-(.

Scouting droids are cool and I want one, even if itjust goes round and collects meat while im shooting it would be a boon.

Anyone on flurry selling them 110 rating please and a probot combat droid also?

Please email me in game (ni'eut) with price and location of shop.
