Droid Engineer Archive

One of the options was to get 30k units of ANY resource for free.

At first I thought this meant any current resource and was about to get myself 3mil worth of Heimo (Yavinian Herb meat selling at 100cpu on Kettemoor right now) when I realised I could have anything that had evered spawned on the server.

So I now have 30k of Heptawefis, the very best Tolium Reactive Gas ever to spawn WOOHOO!!!!!!

Come and get your MSE droids Bounty Hunters! Get 'em while they're hot!

hmm... 30k Gas, 80 per module, means 375 -1 for schem. = 375/3 per cluster = 125 -1 for schem = 124 /2 per droid = 62 - 1For Schem. = 61 Factory Made R3 Bombs.

Calculateseveral daysof factory time forall the other components into it.

[Edit:] back to Topic: Just too bad that Infinity didnt have a nice enough resource spawn yet to make that idea resonable [/Edit]

Around about 62 R3 droids.

Max power is 60. So you might get 59, depending on the quality. With the damage output being about 150-200 times the rating.

I didn't pick the 30k of resource myself, as I though it was a bit too little.
With my two accounts I got the R2 and 3PO models, two of the YT-1300 seating and two anti-decay kits.

[edit] Bah, I was 1 out .

I wasn't sure about it 30k isn't that much, and I've already seen ppl on my galaxy trade offering 3mil for some of the terminals etc. but I didn't really want stuff to sell. I've saved myself hours of trawling through vendors looking for this stuff (and lets face it, hours and hours and I could still be empty handed), that would have cost me 3mil to buy even if i'd found some anyway 'cos its so rare and such high quality.

I also got the self powering harvestor. Now that my trusty heavy mineral wont be using up so much power, I need to use my fusion generator less meaning I have a spare lot to play with With all my factories, my vendor, and my house, its a real juggling act

I did have to get a model X-Wing though as its unlikely that I'll be getting JtL anytime soon

I only got 1 pack of the resources....as others have said, 30k just aint worth it. But then, I have bene collecting resources for a long time. But I did get one pack, and when I use it (someday) it will very likely be for something like Milk, Egg, Crustacean, or Tat Insect meat...something thats very hard to get in big batches.

The harv seems a little silly also. I never drop just 1 harv on anything, heheh. So I got a few decorations, and will get as many anti-decay kits as I can to use after the CURB. Well, if they work like I think they do. Imagine a Chestplate with +10 2H Speed taking no condition loss from battles!

I really liked the vet rewards. I think the only uber one I got was the no decay kit (a shame we can't use it for ship parts). The resource deed is limited, and the no-power harvester kit seems kinda useless.

I'm afraid to use my decay kit yet, lol. I haven't seen enough examples of people using them yet to feel safe. What I know so far is that you can use it on more than one item, but you have to destroy the item its protecting to get it back. Kinda defeas the purpose I think. My fear is the the "get it back" part is only in to fix the problem with sabers, and after that gets fixed no one will be able to get the kit back, and I'll be stuck protecting something dumb. Ideally, you could use it to temporarily eliminate decay on something without having to destroy it.

Bu regardless I won be using it till after the curb.

Actually, I think it is by design and quite appropriate. It was already that way before the Jedi issue - it was just a "work around".

If you could just take it off and leave the old item as is, people would just endlessly move it from weapon to weapon making it terribly unbalanced - none of their weapons would ever decay.

This way, you have to sacrifice the weapon to use it again. I see it as a big benefit in appropriate situations - i.e. changing professions or getting a better weapon. I can put it on my best DXR now, and if I get a better one later I can put it on the better one so I haven't "wasted" my reward.

As to the 30K resources, once I collected all the figurines I picked up one to keep in storage, but for right now I just don't see the use. Sure, I could make a few million selling bomb droids, but I could wait much longer and use it on avian meat when it goes up in price and make many more millions.
