I've heard about this one from numerous sources. I'll add it to the buglist when I get a chance later today.

Thanks for adding that to the list. Makes me feel a bit better. You may wish to clarify that it only seems to be droids that were already tamed before publish 7, that their repair modules do not work. It doesn't seem to matter when they were built, only if they were tamed before Pub 7. I just don't want the devs reading this, building a new R-unit, discovering it works, and saying "Fixed" without doing anything.

Like I said, my friend tamed a deed after publish 7 that was built before October 10th, and its repair module works.

Pre and post always refer to tamed droids. Droid deeds aren't the final product... they just tell the system what kind of droid to create.

New 'combat' droids are funny. I spent 1 week experimenting with different chassis, combat modules, clusters etc. and results are:

In all tested droids I used:

-level6 armor from crates
-identical combat modules 88%
-identical combat clusters 72%

1) Highest HAM has ADV LE Repair chassis - 1.7K but dam and speed sucks - around 90 on 1.9
2) Highest DAM*HAM has ( of course ) ADV R3 - HAM 1.38K dam 120 - 131 on 1.89 ( 0.31 to hit)
3) Ranged attack is somehow not accurate and melee combat is more effective.

I know that 100% modules would be higher but still nothing to kill higher mobs, not talking about players especially PvPers.

Many paradoxes remain:

1) Lifter - no combat modules - why?
2) Probot - HAM doesnot improve with ANY higher armor, Probot doesnot offer ranged attack toggle and uses old funny ranged weapon even when all slots have combat modules installed.
3) Combat modules DO NOT STACK PROPERLY, ADDING MORE MODULES DOESNOT ADD SAME DAM AND/OR SPEED FOR EACH MODULE ADDED LINEARY BUT ITS SOMEHOW NERFED EVEN NOW TO PREVENT .... AGAIN .. TOO HIGH DAM.

It is annoying and unfortunate that droids have no function yet in SWG (devs are simply scared to give droids any real weapons) pbbly all devs play TKA or Commando or what ever combination but did not pbbly watch or read Star Wars movies or books.
Droidekas are in Geo Lab with decent HAM and damage stats, why to hell we cannot have them.
Or make combat modules inter-professional issue, so weaponsmith can make some parts to improve it or so..

Yeah, noticed that combat capability caps at 600. Grrr. Could have almost 640.

Also, droid naming is definitely messed up - had a customer that could not name an R3 no matter what.

I would just like to see the item storage modules stack right. It does not matter what level or how many modules in a droid, I can only get the droids to hold 10 items. I have tried lv 6 and lv 4, it makes no difference. Also I could not get data storage modules to work right either.

When healing a droids HAM with a repair kit, there is a 15 second timer on healing the droid again. However there is no system message that says, "you are now ready to repair more droids" like medics and docs get. I know its small and nitpicky but healing anything or anyone in combat is all about the timing so this is a needed fix.

Minor update. I'm sure I missed a few changes. Please everyone go through the list and let me know what's wrong with it.

The W/D/G station at the Mining Outpost on Dantoonine seems to be bugged as of 4-14-04, the Droid Combat Module will not show up there on the list, it shows up at the station at my house, but not there at the Outpost....this is on the Chilistra Server

Um, you do know that there's a difference between PUBLIC and PRIVATE crafting stations right?

Yeah if you look at the schematic it prolly requires a Private crafting station. The ones in town are, obviously public stations. You gotta use the one in your house or droid.

I thought it's odd that you now have to use combat-clusters to add non-combat modules to e.g. advanced R3 droids i.e. crafting stations, medical modules and storage. Only the BLL and Surgical can take the ordinary module cluster.

Thank you for that info.....I didn't think there was a difference
