Droid Engineer Archive

Hi,

I have been away from the game for a year or so and I have a few questions.

1. I heard that there are droids that can help you harvest and such is there a droid that can help you locate resouces? I play a BH and do not have the ability to use one of those scanners, I wasn't sure if the droid did this for you or not.

2. I bought a "Tanker" droid but on the BH forum they suggested a "Bomb" droid. I wanted to know what the difference was between the two and if there was a DE on Flurry that would be willing to sell one to me.

3. I also have a friend that used to be a DE and the main reason that he left was because of bugs and things not working correctly, could you please give me an inditication of any progress made with this proffession? Since I have returned I have noticed significant progress with BH.

Sorry bout the lame post. Any Ideas would be appreicated.

PEACE

Take a look at the DE 101 thread, sticked to the top of the forum. You will also find a link in my sig to the same thread. It should pretty much cover all of your questions and a little more.

Making SWG more Star Warsy. One droid at a time.

1) There is a harvester droid, which helps if you are a novice scout.

There is a Interplanetary Survey Droid, for the Artisan... But with the shuttle times down to 5min, we have another useless paperweight. Basically, it can go to antoher planet, and depending on the type of survey tool you give it, it will report back what the current resource type/names are available. No stats.

2) Tanker droid, is a droid that will take the hits for you, while you shoot/smack/slash the critter. It repairs itself while taking the hits. The "Bomb" droid... Are the droids that blow themselves up when at their target, after the BH/Smuggler initiates the countdown. Suicidals, those droids are... one time use.

3) There has been some improvements with the Droid Engineers, and new modules. A lot has changed since the year you left... Read thru the stickies, or visit your local Droid Engineer to view the new stuff...
