Hello Fellow MDE's,

I hope you can solve this guestion for me. My question is about using the general socket clusters, I've read some MDE's posting where they've use general socket clusters in R unit's since the Droid Invasion patch. I cannot do this, it only allows me to use the Combat clusters. Pre-patch I could use'm in R unit's but now I can only use'm in Surgical Droids and Binary Lifters ,Adv models, I don't know if this only happening to me or is this how it is. It kinda sucks that you can't make a R2 with, or any droid for that matter, 5 general mods. I hope ya'll can tell me I'm not crazy or if i'm doing something wrong.

Also, does a Combat Cluster count as the 6th combat mod or is it only really 5 combat mods in for the r2's and probots?

Thank you for those that respond, I read some of the postings and I think it's amazing sometimes how much knowledge some of you MDE's contain about droids. I've been a MDE's for about a 2 weeks pre-Droid Invasion Patch and I'm stil trying to figure out how some of this stuff works cause they changed a lotta the droids around and some of ya'll are right on top of everthing. I hope I can be like that soon, on the Valycn server there's not that many MDE's to talk too to figure out this stuff.

R units only have combat/service modules slots (which are the real "general" module slot, since they will hold both combat modules and service modules). The general socket clusters only hold service modules, and the gen. socket cluster can't be placed in the combat cluster slot.

The R2 ADV and Probot ADVhold 1 combat socket cluster (this holds 3 combat or service modules) and 2 combat modules (these will also hold service mods). So, yes, the R2 and Probot may only hold 5 modules.

To get 6 modules, you need to make the R3 ADV, which holds 2 combat socket clusters (3 combat or service mods each).
