Thread: What do you guys keep stocked? Component Question
Message Edited by erod on 10-07-2005 03:21 PM
The basic components for an R5 or R4 chassie
Droid Brains
Droid Sensor packages
Droid Motive systems
manipulator arm package sets
Then at mid level you can have your highest level of
medical module
Armor module
storage module
With these on hand you can make custom droids quickly to order.
Just my thoughts
The Customization tapes dont work, but if you can get them for a good price, whu not? Maybe someday it will do something....
As to components, I keep about 100 of each in packs, and about 500 regular brains. I only keep 25 or so of the Personality, Data, Medical, Struc Maint, Barker, etc... These components are used in hand-crafting. If I ever want ot make a larger run of identical droids, I go through the steps to factory craft everything.
I keep ~200 of the crafting/entertainer modules on hand. ~500 armor/combat/autorepair modules. I have ~150 brains on hand atm. ~50-75 of the R2 and R3 chassis'. A few dozen probot chassis'.
I don't really craft alot, but when I do, I fully stock my vendors for a few weeks at a time.
Usually, to save space, I plan ahead. I always use Adv R3's for entertainer droids. So I make up the effects modules (~200 each) then turn around and factory run the combat clusters. I run them as "Entertainer's Effects 1" (Avian, Confetti, Mind Bloom) and "Entertainer's Effects 2" (Mind Bloom, Fog, Dancing Jawa). For combat droids, I run combat modules and auto repair modules, then do a run of "Combat Droid Cluster 1" (1 combat module, 2 auto repair) and a run of "Combat Droid Repair" (3 auto repair).
That way I don't have to keep alot of stock on hand and have the clusters already ready to stick in a chassis when needed.
Let me see ..
Well I keep at least 25 of each module (apart from the entertainer ones). And at least 100 of each basic droid component and 25 to 50 advanced droid component.
