I am seeking to buy a droid for creature harvesting. What kind of configuration do these come in and is there storage space on the droids? Or should i just go to a DE and ask to have one made special. I havent noticed anything like this on any droid vendors when ive been looking.
Any advice is welcome...

best one would be advanced r3 with 6 harvest modules, you get more bonus per module installed so you could have 5 and storage if you wanted and still have good bonus. what server are you on

I'm on the Gorath Server Stravros. Another question. How many units does one storage module hold and can i move stuff from my inventory to the droid's storage??

My understanding (please somebody correct me if I'm wrong) is that... if you're harvest droid has item storage also, the amount of organics it can hold are based on the following...
- Level of Item Storage Module. A Level6 Item Storage Module will hold 10 items max.
- If you're storing anything else in it or if it's empty when you start hunting
- After that,resources can be stacked up to 100k items per stack. So, in theory, if you're harvesting the same type of meat/hide/bone, it should only take one inventory slot until you would get over 100k units of it
- Don't forget to carry some batteries to keep your harvest bot going

Item storage on a droid has no bearing on the harvesting. All resources get dumped into your inventory.

if you are going to get a droid with storage and harvesting id actually suggest the r3 with a combat mod/storage10/harvest4...that way it doest run if it gets attacked and you wont loose much bonus since your already way under the mark for it by having the storage....in other words all harvest mods in an r3 or maybe 2 of them if you are going to do a hybrid harvesting droid. (for extra storage and versitiliy purposes)

Yes, you will most likley need batteries. They are a artisan item, Engineering I to be exact.
Fortunatly for you, unfortunatly for us, a droid is forever....

Batteries are one size fits all and many droid engineers stock them on their vendors. They're in the artisan skill tree, so you can usually get them from artisans as well. One size fits all.
You shouldn't need any repair kits unless your droid comes under attack. Repair kits are basically just like stims for PCs. Even if your droid does get incapped, it will evetually "heal" after your store it anyway. If your droid gets wounded, you need a reconstruction kit (just like wound packs for PCs). They'realso available from a DE, but certainly aren't a necessity.
If your droid gets incapped repeatedly, it's vitality drops (which I don't believe affects perormance unless it hits 0 -- anyone want to confirm/correct?). I think that you need a pet vitality pack to fix that, available from a Bio-Engineer.
Most of this is moot, however, because your droid will still work as normal as long as its HAM doesn't hit zero. Fixing wounds just ensures that your droid has a full HAM bar in case it gets attacked while you're out in the field.
