Droid Engineer Archive

Well I used the tools the forum gave me to indent these items, but then it complained about the HTML that the tool automatically put in... really, take away the button if that HTML is not allowed, thanks.

Please discuss this. I think these will give a boost to the profession in some way. I hope it's readable since I'm not allowed to use the tool buttons to indent apparently.

i. Droid repair tools and Droids with repair modules.
a. Droids with droid repair modules can fix droids faster than a person using a droid repair tool.
1. Droids with repair modules can not fully heal wounds. They just can't be as thorough as a person.
b. Droid repair tools should be more effective (better) than a droid with a repair module. The "personal touch" is slower, but more thorough than any automated process.
1. Droid repair tools are needed to fix the final wounds of any droid, able to restore a droid to almost "new". (Vitality loss takes care of reduction of HAM over time)
c. The droid repair tool can be used by a DE effectivly, if used by someone else the effectivness is reduced.

ii. The Droid with a vitality deficit can only be healed by a droid with a repair module or a droid repair tool
a. The max vitality of that droid can never be fully restored. IE, if it started with 100 vitality, got reduced to 75, it could only ever be healed back to 95-99, and so on.
1. using a droid repair tool to heal vitality would be slower but result in less overall reduction. ie a droid repairs up 95, while a repair tool wielded by a DE and can repair up to 99, if not a DE can only repair up to 97.
b. This should not be instant, but take some time determined by the amount of deficit and quality of repair tools/module.

iii. (opinion) Droids should not heal over time. The red/green/blue bars can be fully healed by anyone, these are not "wounds" or deeper problems with the droid, but superficial scratches and breeches in it's plating.
a. A droid repair tool can be used or droid with a repair module can be told to "heal" the health and action pools of the droid, starting the "regeneration" process. Quality of the repair tool or repair module will determine the rate at which droids heal.
1. A person using a droid repair tool is set on that action, certain actions stop the healing process.
2. A droid commanded to repair a droid is set on that actoin, Certain other commands will stop the healing process.
b. Droid batteries or Power Droids heal the mind bar of a droid. Healing occurs in "chunks".
1. The size of the "chunk" healed could be a fixed value for batteries, since batteries have charges based on Quality, or the size of the chunk can be determined by the quality as well.
2. Power Droids could refill the droid completly, or over time, like "healing" the health and action. This would still be faster than using batteries, and take very little, if not instant time. (can only be done in a camp or town, not while fighting)
c. However droid mind bar can heal very slowly over time while stored only if no other alternative is viable, but no other HAM bars.

iv. Repairing Droid HAM wounds. These are the deeper problems: damaged circuits, connections, etc.
a. Mind Wounds
1. Batteries should not heal the Mind HAM wounds.
2. Power droids can heal mind wounds, not all at once, but over time. Rate determined by quality of the droid. However, not all of the mind wounds can be healed with the power droid, leaving ~1% of the HAM bar unhealed.
3. Droids with repair modules can be used to heal the mind wounds at a much slower rate then a power droid can (part of repairing anything is to make sure connections are not broken) but cannnot heal them completly, leaving ~2-3% of the HAM bar unhealed.
4. A Droid Repair Tool is needed to completly healthe wounds that cannot be healed by droids (power or repair).
i. Droid engineers can completly heal the wounds. Non droid enginers can only heal up to the same as a repair droid.
b. Health and Action Wounds
1. Droids with repair modules can not heal the full amount of wounds of any HAM bar, leaving ~1% of the HAM bar unhealed.
2. Droid repair tools can, and are required toheal wounds fully, if wielded correctly.
i. Droid engineerscan completly heal the wounds. Non droid enginers can only heal up to the same as a repair droid.

wow, that's harder to read than I expected... stupid forums.

Sorry all.

Bump....

But apparently no one cares.
