I've heard conflicting reports.
Do the exploding droids suffer from the 75% PvP damage reduction or do they do full like pets?
And what is the aprox damage per each point of detonation power either way?

Also...is there a bug or anything with them currently? A friend of mine used 8 exploding mse adv with 38 detonation power each vs an enemy turret and it did absolutely no damage!?!

They do suffer the 75% pvp reduction (they really have to, if they didn't it would be a one hit kill on pretty much any player), and I've had them be screwy as far as not doing damage. I think for turrets you already need to have a TEF or maybe even be overt (I think just having a TEF works) and the turret may need to be in combat. I've had instances where a target was clearly hit and damaged by the blast (according to the combat spam) but didn't take any damage, if you see this happening /bug it.

Yea...he was overt and TEF'd.....a group of us went to try to take out a base. We had to get the turret to target us so it wouldnt shoot the mse droids,so the turret was definetly in combat.I can understand them being a little buggy and 1 or 2 not doing damage.....but not all 8. That sounds like a major bug to me. Just wasnt sure if maybe they nerfed them so they couldnt take out turrets and just didnt hear about it or what?!
Anyway.....we did a /bug report on it....not sure how much good it will do.

Do you know if it showed up as doing damage in the combat spam (only shows up in the owners spam, no one elses). If it does I'd send them a /bug report (another one if you didn't do this the first) with date, time, coordinates, planet, damage listed in combat spam, every peice of info you can think of. I've had them do damage to turrets before, so not sure whats up.

Check out the thread about killing the Jedi with the MSE droids. They were hitting for 1800 damage and there are screenshots. What is the power level of the droids? U may have gotten a bad batch of droids.

38 detonation power that he listed would get him about 1600 in PVP, 8k in PVP (before armor).

Ok.
I just sent a customer service ticket in-game....and they replied to this problem.
They say that Detonation Module Droids can only effect npc and player characters. They CANNOT effect structures such as enemy turrets!?!
Doesnt that just completely suck!?!
Not sure if they have been like this all the time or if they just nerfed them recently so they cant take out turrets.
Can some of you test this to verify?

That would suck if they changed it with turrets. It used to be possible to use them against turrets.In fact thats one of the ways I tested the type of damage. I'll get some of my friend to test it.
