I thought it wasn't possible to have 40% armor anymore.
It isn't
Thats 40% resists only....even with composite armour segments usedits still AR0 and consequently dies like a fly, stimmed or not.

Have just been experimenting with the new combat modules in R3 droids, a really nice combination i've found is:
3 105 ratedcombat modules
1 repair mod
1 crafting station module
1 lvl 6 item storage
2 lvl 4 armor pieces
With nice tools, and some lucky experimentation, used the above to build :
R3 Advanced
1620 HAM
40% armor
1.5 speed
0.36 to hit
110-120 damage
Clothing Armor Crafting Station
Repair module (that actually works to repair other droids)
10 Item Storage
which is a rather nice utility droid, that fights like an average pet,and better than most mounts.
Also am looking forward to being in a group, where everyone is using them, and to see how practical it is to repair each others droids during combat.
Will be doing factory runs of these next week
Thanks to the dev's, even though i dont have my droideka's army, i'm pretty happy with my R3 army.

You join us here in the deepest, darkest heart of Valcyn to see that rarest of species, a happy DE. These extraordinarily rare creatures were thought to be extinct even as recently as pre-publish 7 but apparently, magically, it appears a scarce few have managed to adapt and survive.

first of all did original poster tried lately to put in an R-Unit a general socket cluster? it dont work at all now. the combat droids are neat but thats about it. they not uber. but for them we lost the real utility droids cause we cant at all place a gen socket cluster into them, only combat cluster, so i would like to know howu put into an R3 the item storage etc? its only possible with gen socket cluster, and they cant be placed at all in.
/sigh
Any module can be placed in a combat socket... I recently made 3 LE's with 2 combat modules and 1 Storage each.

oh thx for info
i couldnt know they changed it that way lol, but i am sure its still a bug and should not be like that
funny still that R-Units are the best combat droids lol
at least i can start again making utility droids like before
