Thread: Q from a non-DE
Hi all -
Sorry for what must be a stupid question but:
How exactly does a recharge droid work?
Do you stock a dozen batteries in it or does it somehow magically get the power to recharge other droids?
How long can most droids go before needing recharged?
A powerdroid is called out, and it has a charge command. You target someones droid and tell it to charge the droid and it waddles over and charges the droid. Just make sure that you have batteries onhand to charge your powerdroid....
Hey devs, why the heck does a powerdroid need batteries? Can't it run off its own fusion generator?

A power droid acts like an unlimited supply of droid batteries. 
It has an innate ability to recharge other droids.
Thanks guys...
so I have this vision 
...
I call the recharge droid set it to follow target (a friends droid) and let it recharge the other droid as needed.
I can imagine the macro working except for tw things...
1) how can I tell it "recharge target after X amount of time" (unless I'm very near the droid to issue a vocal command)
2) wont the recharge droid run out of juice?
