Thread: Droid idea
This droid would be similar to the bout hunter droid in that it has charges. You would give it a waypoint, a resource, and a radius to search. The droid after some time (in the order hours) would e-mail you back a waypoint with the maximum concentration in the radius. The maximum radius that the droid can search would be determined by the quality of the droid ranging from 4k to 1k.The time it takes for the survey could also be a experimentally dependent. I think this would be a good commodity for DE to sell especially to the non-artisan crafters. There would also be a market for artisan that don’t want to waste time running around surveying.
Would appreciate comments.
This idea is a good one - I think it has been made before.
I think that the medics and chefs would love it even more... I have to do surveying for medic friends all the time, as they don't have the pts to get their surveying skills.
I would like it even more if the droid would actually go into the field and survey, (not just disappear from the world).
they really should make it possible to build a droid that can maintain harvesters and survey for resources. Just deposit some money and power into the droid and send him off to your harvesters, it would save a lot of time for us crafters.
Been suggested a few dozen times over the last year or two 
Save all your ideas for the Droid Invasion In-Concept thread when it comes.
