Droid Engineer Archive

Trust me. Never make droids when you're tired. Just last night I was making an Adv. Probot w/ 110 medical + food/chem craftingfor a customer and after I give him the droid it hits me -- I forgot to put armor on the probot. D'oh!

He was cool about it thoughso I gave him a 5000 credit refund AND made him a new probot with armor on it.

Oh yeah, and also not when you are distracted by talking on the telephone. I did manage to remember to put the armor on my advanced probot at least.... just forgot to put in the frikkin modules before I put it all together!

I ended up selling it at the price of my basic probots, so at least it wasnt a complete waste.

I couldn't remember which type of crafting station in put in my R2. I guess it was a clothing and armor. I'll find out when someone buys it from my vendor.

Incidentally, I consider this a bug. We should be able to look at the deed and tell. Another customer of mine asked me what type of crafting station I put in her droid, about 2 weeks after she purchased it. Since I don't keep records, I couldn't answer her.

I think that's why when I can finally get blueprints 4 I'm only putting certain modules in certain chassis. Not only to try and get more sales but to make it easier on myself as far as remembering things like that. I've got quite a ways to go yet but when I can make it all, that's what I'm doing. I live by the 'Keep it simple, stupid' rule.

LOL! Great stories. Here's mine:

I usually put in the name of the deed what's in the bot, example: R5, advanced, Store4/Food. I keep one of each crafting station type on the Moenia bazaar. I named oneStore4/Cloth for clothing/armor crafter and Level 4 storage, but it actually had a Food crafter in it. I KNEW I had mistakenly labled it, so I put in the item description that it was mis-labeled. Well,a person actually bought it thinking it wasFood crafter, which I knew was going to happen anyway. A few DAYS after purchase, the person emailed me that their bot wasn't working. It took me a little while to figure out it was the mis-labeled bot. I made the person a new bot, let them keep the mis-labeled bot, and made a friend. It was my fault 1) for mis-labeling it, and 2) for thinking someone actually reads the item descriptions. I got some more business from the person too. Happy ending!

Moral of the story: CRAFTING MODULES NEED TO SHOW UP ON THE 'EXAMINE' WINDOW. (But, don't show the quality. )

hehe..I always make the Protocol chassie instead of the Adv. Probot chassie and visaversa whenever I get sleepy.
