Can someone please point me in the direction ofa detailed explanation/use for astromech and droid interface's. The "Understanding Ship Components" page tells me basically nothing and I can't seem to find anymore info on the subject. Thanks guys.

It will be of help after I update the information.

I forgot to completely update the information on how the new interface works, after it was changed a few publishes back. As soon as I get my new computer up and running, sometime later this week, I will update the JtL section to reflect the changes. I should have the updated changes added sometime next week.





I need a new computer... (running an athlon xp 1900 with an Nvidia Gforce4 ti4200, am up to 1.5GB RAM though! Combine that with the superior speed/power of linux and it runs everything mighty smooth (even stuff like galaxies thats made for windows))

Anyway, since the 101 isn't quite updated, here's a quick overview of how it works.

First thing to do is initialize your flight computer or activate the droid deed if you haven't done that yet. There should be a radial option for these. Then, open your datapad and go to the radial menu of your droid/flight computer. There should be an option to "program" it. From here, you can remove any programs that are already in the droid, as well as add any programs that you either have the skills for or have a droid command module for (which you can get from someone who does have the skill). Just double click the program(s) you want to load (or click once and click the load button), then when you're done hit commit (or something along those lines, can't login to check right now). That should bring up a little confirmation dialogue box, then you're all done. Now just make sure your dorid/FC is loaded in your ship via the ship management terminal.
