Thread: Almost Master DE with a question for Master DE
First, at my level...what kind of combat droids should I be making? What should my numbers be for a "exceptional combat droid"?
Does a combat/general cluster degrade the rating of the other modules placed in it? And what experimentation line should I be concentrating on when I craft one?
What methods do you use to mass produce droids with many componants? I have two facotories up, and finding out that is just not enough!
Anyway, I love the profession, and am certainly not a profession jumper like half my server. I want to stay a DE and prefect my craft. Any and all help would be most welcome.

First of all, let me say it's good to hear that BGH is still going on Gorath. I used to have the DE vendor in Krayt Oasis before I took a short break. Of course, the first thing you should do is http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=droid_engineer&message.id=100088 target=_blank>look at the FAQ.

I am currently 3-3-3-4 DE. I am finding it more difficult to practice my craft becuase of the limited descriptions of the new items I get from the game. My question is a multi-parter, so I appreciate any help I get.

This is more subjective to the resources you're using. Considering I have no idea what you're stockpiles are like I would venture to guess they'd be somewhere around 75% of what a Master DE would make. Still sellable to the right market.

Short answer: No, and the experementation line doesn't matter. Long answer: Sometimes, modules will have a decimal value that doesn't get displayed and when added to other modules get bumped up one digit. This only happens with modules where quality matters.

A good medium for me was 4 Factories. 2 of which rotated between Droid Brains, EGP's and EMM's. #3 and #4 rotated parts and Chasis. More than likely if you're just starting up, you can get by with 3. (2 for MA parts, and 1 misc).

i would suggest making crafting droids and astromechs. you can even make full storage and data droids by stacking the lvl 4 modules. your R4s and R2s won't hold as much as a master DE's, but they will be useful to whoever purchases them.
