Thread: Droid Module for Scouts!

You know what I'd love? A Droid Harvest Module. This Module would be placed into any droid that can have a Storage Compartment. Then, whenI kill a MOB, it would scoot over to the corpse and Harvest Materials. Since any player in a party can Harvest, it's not Ninja-Harvesting, and simply put would make my Scouting life easier.


Finer Points


- A Harvest Module can only be used in conjunction with a Storage Compartment

- Materials harvested by the droid are placed in the droids Storage Compartment

- A Player may set a droid to harvest Bone, Meat, Hide, or allow the droid to choose at random

- A droid will only travel up to 64m away from its owner to harvest a kill

- A Player does NOT receive Scouting XP for droid harvesting

Good idea.
One question, do the owner need to have scout skills? In my opinion yes, else the droid would render scouts even more useless.

MM maybe the owner's skills will effect droid too?

heh yeah I'm sorry, It would be for scouts only and run off of their current Harvest skill. I figured this would work like the upcoming Entertainer Only Module.

i dont think it should automatically harvest. I can just see a LE running up to a rancor after the first one goes down. You should have to give it a command that will go around and collect everything for you.


I would think that would be a fairly complicated droid to implement.

Nope, this is all about laziness. Harvesting should be automatic, and done in the order you kill mobs. Otherwise there'd be no point in implementing such a thing. Don't see why it would be so complicated though. It's AI would simply react if a mob that you have harvesting rights to drops.
