Thread: Question about Maintenance Droids

I am not a Droid engineer but figured would come ask the people that would know. I have a few of the survey droids and know that they disappear along with the related survey tool with each use. I am now considering getting a structure maintenance droid to pay the maint on my various harvestors. Are these one-time use droids or can they be called and used over and over again ?



Thanks in advance for any info.

It really depends, If you Assign your droid to your harvestor, you must always unassign the droid if you are to redeed the harvestor. If you do not it will completely "break" the module and you will no longer be able to Maintain Structures already assigned to the droid nor will you be able to Assign "New Structures." Also there have been some bugginess associated with not naming the structures, IE if you have 4 Heavy Mineral Harvestors named Heavy Mineral Harvestor it will not tell the difference.

A Structure Maintenance Droidis re-usable... so long as you remember one VERY important procedure:


Before redeeding ANY structure that is on the Droid's "Route List", you need to REMOVE itfrom the Droid's "Route List." Failure to remove the entry for that structure from the "Route List" prior to redeeding the structure will "break" the droid.A droid "broken" in this mannercannot, at this time, be "repaired" and will need to be "replaced".

Should Sony and Lucas Arts be worried? (15000 users * 5 accts = ~$13MIL in potential lost gross annual revenue) If I were the CEO for either LA or SOE, I would certainly be worried.

Greatto know about the maintenance droid thing now as I have bought one last night and I removed a windafter Iassigned it to it. I had no ideaI had to remove the structure from the droid first or it will be broken. Now I have to replace the droid. I wish someone would have told me about it beforeso I wouldn't have wasted my money. I wonder if this is a bug or is it something that was planned? I hope the DEVs are going to correct this. I hopethey aren't going to leave it this way. This really sucks!!!

I'm sure this has been covered before......but can Maintenance Droids pay for maintenance on structures on other planets or only the planet you are on?

Heh... I had given my business partnerthree Adv R3's with maint and all crafting modules in them... before I knew about this problem. On Sunday, I had to replace allthree Adv R3's.


Oh well... I learned.. I moved on... so did he.

Note: Not EVERY level Structure module will allow this.
