Thread: Help me decide DEs.....
Ok im not a DE yet. Im trying to decide between DE and armorsmith. On eclipse armorsmits are everywhere and there are no DEs. I have a couple questions that will help me make my decision.
1) Do droids still have perma-death? I know they put it in but i heard they took it out or something.
2) How many droids can you have out at once? I heard only 1 at a time but this would make repair droids useless.
3) Do the Binary Load Lifters do anything yet? I heard that they will (note WILL) be able to automate your mines (take out materials and go to the next one).
4) How much can you get for a good adv probot? Preferably on eclipse.
Any feedback and comments are greatly appreciated. Thx for helping my decision.
Here ya go...
1) Nope, Permadeath is out. However, I believe they lose Vitality like CH Pets now. Kind of odd. But better than Perma-Death, which made even less sense.
2) Only one droid out at a time. You are correct, it does indeed make Repair and Power Droids a little useless.
3) Nope, Binary Load Lifters currently have no function whatsoever. Besides not having an innate function, you can't even add modules to them, as they have no module slots whatsoever, only Armor slots.
4) I don't know current prices, but for a simple Medium Armored Probot you can get anywhere from 15-20k. Advanced Probots go for about 25-30k I would imagine.
Thank you very much. I just have one more question, if perma-death is out (as it should be) is there a vitality amount on the droids now, like creatures?

They don't do anything currently. As for automating our extracters....that's one of the main thing's we would like them to do. However, no one has said that that is what they WILL do.

Yes, droids now have vitality.Like creatures....
I am on Eclipse and I am currently not selling droids ... lack of droid demand I guess.
Bounty Hunter droids which use to be netting me a nice little sum of money has tailed off. I believe the investigation branch is considered worthless.
Probots Medium Armour 40% (best that can be made)with Medical Rating of 75 can beoffered for salefor anything between 6K and 10K. I have personally not sold any at 10K.
The armour I think is actually only AR0 with the 40% resist working, folowing my tests.
Interestingly I have taken up Armorsmith as a sideline business to be leveled after I have Mastered DE. My plan is to be independent of armoursmiths and be able to make LvL 6 droid armour and personal shield generators.
