Droid Engineer Archive

If I go through a trouble of getting a droid decked out I want it to do stuff for me.

I want to be able to give the droid say 10,000 credits, and give it orders to make sure there is at least 4 days of cash in all my harvesters. I want to be able to put 4000 power in it and tell it to make sure there is 1:00 total amount of power in every harvester.

I want my droid to go through and empty the dumper of all my harvesters into its inventory.

That’s what I want to do, and I want to be able to have more then 1 droid out at a time. I think IF they were to give us these options they should allow being the master of an artisan type profession to give you +1 droid handling. Allowing you to have an extra droid out to help you.

Binary Load-Lifters, should deal with building maintenance, harvester power and the resource management.

Protocol Droids should primarily deal with vendor’s maintenance, but can take care of building maintenance and harvester maintenance.

R2 Units should be able to manage power and maintenance and repairing.

Mouse droids should well... do nothing

But as a Consumer that’s what I WANT my droid to do it.

How I would tell my droid which harvesters to visit, the first time through, much like giving it waypoints to patrol, I would go to each harvester and I would say Patrol Point, Maintenance 2 days, Power 1:00. And go through all my harvesters and do that to all of them, and then my droid would go through and keep up on it.
