Thread: How can i tell which modules installed in droid after i made him?
I understand what if there are medical capabilities - then medical module installed, but how can i know, for example, which craft station installed and other modules?
And when i getting droids from the man using /transfer command how can i know which modules are in the droid?
Thanks.
Data and item storage, and medical modules show. Crafting stations? Good luck.
/sigh;/fidget;/gasp;/cough;/repeat
That's horribly dumb.
I've been silently wondering about that issue for a while now as I work my way up to the point where I can make more modules. Right now, the only useful module I can make is a Level 1 medical module anyway so I haven't been too worried about it because all my droids have the same module.
But shoot. How can we expect customers to even buy our droids if they've no way of verifying that it actually does what it is suppossed to do before the trade is made? I know, its a rhetorical question. But this "feature" does completely defeat the purpose of the so-called "secure" trade window.
I didn't realize this was one of the issues. Now I'm wondering: does anybody know when they plan to fix this? 
I always name my deeds after what I've put in the droids, but it's honestly up to my reputation as to whether or not folks believe what it says.

Yeah, change the name to include what is in the droid.
Selling droids has gotten me into the habit of renaming my final products. Without them there's no way for me to tell what's in it as far as crafting stations. Since it's impossible for the customer to tell when they buy it,
One way I reassure the customer is to tell them I have a money back guarantee. If they're not happy with the droid, I'll take it back and give them a full refund. I have yet to get a request to refund a single credit.
I know that I can change the name of the deed. I'd rather not waste my time doing that, but I have no choice. It just seems so short sighted not to let us see what the droid can actually do in the examine window. That's like forgetting to put the damage numbers in a weapon's examine window.
Whomever is responsible for that ought to be tarred and feathered. 
No offense meant by that, I'd suggest you tar and feather me if I was responsible for it.
But seriously, I don't remember seeing this in the plan for droids posted recently. Did I miss it?I would hope that this iseasy to fix. I mean, not having the feature because there wasn't time is one thing, but not having at least thought ahead so it would be easy to hook it in later.... that wouldn't be a disturbing sign.
I rename my deads with what i install in them. And on my personal droids their names reflect their abilities. Like droid-o-matic, repair-o-matic, and WeisMarkets (this being a local supermarket for my food crafting droid)
