Good Monday Morning Starwars Droid Engineers!!!

I have hit quite the issue this weekend while making custom droid orders. Let me run down what happened.

I received a custom order for a R3 droid. The droid was to consist of a Weapon/Droid/General module, StarShip component module, Item lvl 6 module, Harvester module, Structure Maintainance module and a Data module lvl 6. I can't remember what modules I placed into each cluster so I can't give that much detail. Anyways, I got my chassis ready and slammed together the final product with armour lvl 6 and the two clusters. Now, so far everything seems to be ok and I am pretty sure I have not done anything wrong so far. I look at the details of my droid. I see that it isregistering the Astromech lvl 6, weapon/droid/general etc...BUT....Where is the Structure Maintainance. There is no Maintainance ability. Just so there is no questions, I repeated myself again and made sure that I didn't miss the structure Maintainance module. It was there when I placed it in the cluster and it was there when I placed the cluster in the final assembly. Once I clicked next to assemble everything BOOM, it was not there anymore. I am like, you got to be kidding me. LOL...

So, to experiment with my issue I removed the Harvester module and redid everything again. What do you know,all 5 modulesare there.

Does anyone know of this issue?

Doh...forgot to add the newest link to the Centralized Droid Issues Thread. You can find the full low down on Structure Maintenance Module issues in this thread, which is listed in the DE 101 thread.

Here is the problem that you are having....

The problem with the Structure Maintenance Module is due to what order you install the module into the droid. The Cluster Modules have a Structure Maintenance Module Rating of 0. When a Structure Maintenance Module is installed into a Droid or Cluster, the last rating of the last module installed is applied to the Droid or Cluster module. If the Cluster Module with the rating of 0 is installed into the Adv R3 Unit last, then the overall Structure Maintenance Module rating will be 0.

This also applies to how Structure Maintenance Modules stack, or in this case don't. The last module that you place into a droid or Cluster Module is what gives you the rating that the droid will have.

Making SWG more Star Warsy. One droid at a time.

A big thanks Drashk!!!

I will try and experiment with that solution. I will try and get all 6 modules in a droid tonight.
