Thread: Its all about the Marketing
I have told other droid engineers that the best way get sales is to find a better way to market your droid. For example after the first Test Center patch i was running around cities saying i was selling pet storage droids.I told them that they could store six additional pets (The data rating of the droid of corse i reaslized that it was more than that) and people gladly shelled out 15k for ADV R5's with this capability)
I got a new Idea and I want to run it past everyone.
When i was on a rebel raid of Kaandaa, Naboo I was killed by an AT-ST and went to the med center to heal my self I noticed that the owner of the ATST had died also and we in the med center also healing his wounds.
So I pulled out my trusty crafting tool and made what I am now calling A Medical Center Sabatoge Droid which as you might assume is an MSE droid with a lvl 1 Medical Mod that i told to follow the owner of the ATST which reduced his heals by 45%.
I though it was hilarious to see him trying to shake the MSE droid off of him after a Medic explained to him what I did

ROFL The medical sabotage droid is a brilliant, if twistedidea! ![]()
LOL, you could release an army of MSEs, one set to follow each opposing doctor. Any low-level grinder could do this, and would be happy to sell them to one army or the other.
Hilarious (spoken as one who doesn't participate in the GCW).
I though DE's would take this Idea in a negative light. Im glad people like it. I have sole do already for 2k each and people love the Idea.
And I could not be more happier that pet storage is gone. i was getting mad at all the creature handelers we were taking advantage of the DE's who didn't know about the exploit and getting the MSE's for free.

All you have to do is logoff and then login in again. This will stop it from following. Its like a 20 second fix.

how does this exactly work since I thought only the owner could use the medical modules? Did you transfer the droid to him and then have it follow him?
well only the owner of the droid will recieve the benifit of a medical module, not even folks in your group get the bonuses of your droid, they each have to have one.
sadly i think you were only managing to annoy the guy which is worth a mse in itself
I have been yelled at by Medics and Doctors for having my medical droids out infront of the Med Center selling them. They claimned it was reducing thier heals in the Med Center.
this was a few patches ago it might of been fixed does anybody know?

As far as I can tell only the owner gets the penalty or bonus. I've tried this a couple different ways, I've had terrible droids out while other people were healing with no effect and I've had any droid out outside of the med center and I'm the only one who can use it. The doctors/medics who complain are more than likely just acting on rumors or looking for an excuse for a couple bad heals.
