Did I miss anything?


I've been gone since the day before CURB. I'm sure after 5 publishes that droids are everywhere, they can be named with numbers, slice terminals, playback messages, decay, etc. etc. Right?

You chose a great time to come back.


As usual, perfect timing Roe.

And now we know why our droids are completely and totally borked right now.


Cut and pasted for your reading displeasure






Well folks, I've got some bad news and some good news. The good news is that some of our droids functions still work. The bad news is that most of our droid functions are broken.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but thats what I have found. It currently does not look good. Keldarin stated in the CH Feeback thread


Due to the extensive nature of these changes functionality associated with any type of pet may have been affected so please check out all types of pets including factional and droids and report any problems with them here as will.

I've checked all aspects that I can think of, with our profession, and this is what I have found. Hopefully, these issues can be addressed before this goes Live. Here is what I have found.






It would appear that the changes to the way pets are programmed has completely borked the additional droid functions. All of the droids that I ran tests on appear to still have the modules installed, however the radial menu options are lost. Newly crafted droids have the radial menu on the first call, but after they are stored and called again, this radial disappears. The following modules have been rendered inoperable at this time.





  • Auto Repair Module - Radial Menu option to toggle the module on / off is MIA.

  • Creature Harvest Module - Radial Menu option 'Harvest Options'is MIA

  • Detonation Module - Radial Menu option Detonate Droidis MIA

  • Effects Module (all) - Radial Menu option is MIA

  • Level 1 - 3 Droid Structure Maintenance Module - Radial Menu option 'Structure Maintenance' is MIA

  • Merchant Barker Module- Radial Menu optionis MIA

  • Plyaback Module - Radial Menu option is MIA

  • Scout Projectile Module - Radial menu option to load traps in the droid is MIA

  • Stimpack Dispensor Module - Radial Menu option 'Request Stimpack' is MIA

All of the droids used during this test still had a corresponding rating listed in the datapad entry, of the control device. (IE Auto Repair Module lists a repair rating on the control device but does not function)


Any of the above listed modules that have a programmed command, such as the Creature Harvest Module, will not respond to a programmed command. The command for the function is not listed on the 'Teach Pet Command' window. The programmed command does display in the datapad entry. (IE I programmed my harvesting droid to harvest on the command 'eat'. The 'Teach Pet Command' window does not display an option for the harvest function. The examine window in the datapad lists the command to harvest as 'eat' )


Any of the above listed modules that have a slash command associated with it do not function. (IE The /detonate command will not work on a droid with the Detonatoin module installed. The system message ' This droid has no detonatoin module.' is displayed, however the Detonation Power rating is listed in the datapad.


It is unknown how many of the above listed modules no longer work in droids that were in the datapad before this publish. The following is a list of modules that I know work / don't work due to having the droid in my datapad, or having discussed it with someone else on TC. All of these droids still list the modules as being installed in the droid.



  • Creature Harvest Module - MIA

  • Effects Module (all) - MIA

  • Level 3 Droid Structure Maintenance Module - Works!?!?! (Oh the irony)

  • Playback Module - MIA




All newly Readied droids have only the Follow Me command programmed. All of the other commands do not have a command programed by default.

This issue has been fixed.




The Droid Repair Module and Power Droids are functioning as intended. Each has its own listing in the 'Teach Pet Command' window to be programmed.



All options that are normally listed in the 'Droid Options' program radial appear to be working correctly. This includes Recharge, Item Storage Access, and Data Storage Access.



All other functions appear to still be functioning asthey didbefore this publish

I was trolling some of those problems just before I resubbed, I figured something that big would be addressed before it went live. LOL, I made a funny.


I guess I'll just pay maintenance on my house, and play my smuggler on Flurry for the next month, and go back into hiding. DEs truly are fading out of the SWG scope, I fear.

I wish I could counter this statement, but the DE profession is certainly not coming into focus...

This must be how Cubs fans feel, similar to our "wait 'til next patch!" sentiment. Good thing I'm a Cards fan.

This is exactly how we Cub fans feel. and Bear fans. But as I always say, "Well, it builds character". Frankly, I've had enough character, I want something to go right for a change!

What does your droid have to say?

Jetpacks crafted = 0 | Mando crafted = 0
And darn proud of it! I'm a Droid Engineer not a Jetpack Monkey.

OMG it all makes sense now... the secret to DE's being gluttons for punishment.
