Droid Engineer Archive

Hi guys, I have seen a few mentions of it here and there, though I am not sure it is on the radar of listed bugs. It seems droids are using much more power than previously.In my case, itwas a droid crafted maybe 2 weeks before the "big patch".

Thanks. As a Doctor, I've have had quite a few different droids (especially during permadeath times). You guys need some luvin' ....

It is known to DE's and to anyone who uses a droid.

I doubt if the devs know about it.

I actually like it the way it is. Most people don't generaly have their droids out long enough to be affected by it until now... so finaly we can sell extra parts for our droids.

It gives us the "customer return" value we so desperately need. Ironicaly, most players don't realise a battery can't be built by anyone with the right engineering skill .. what is it, engineering II or someting? Can't remember.. either way, there are a LOT of people that can craft them, yet most people well seek the person they bought their droid from to restock (or atleast thats what I'm experiencing).

I have tosay, I have made an absolute bomb of batteries... I've been charging around 100c for 1 charge and usualy give out sets of 5 batteries (with 1 or 2 charges) ... I give the price (500c) and so far every customer has given me ATLEAST 2000 ... and people say charity money doesnt count

Borked it may be, but atleast this is one bork we are making money from.

Vampiric_Hoshi , I can appreciate, as a Doc, needing more ways to make money. Though, I am concerned that this is not behavior by design and could be related to other issues we cannot see. Even if it is an isolated issue, I think it is worth discussing and getting corrected.

I've been selling batteries like mad as well.. however, I met nearly half a dozen players this weekend that had stopped using droids entirely since they didn't want to deal with the hassle of batteries.

So I agree that it's great return business, but if people stop using our droids we're screwed in the long run.

Cheers,

I'm glad to see that batteries at least are usefull... but

a) dont think that 20 batteries needed a day is a good ratio... as someone said, that will lead to people not using droids anymore

b) droid batteries should be a DE craftable only
