Not been able to find much about them on this forum. so a few questions if anybody knows the answers



  1. After playing making a few, experimenting the different trees, i test 2 droids, 1 was a 29 mech qual, one was an 81 mech qual, when i launched the 29 it said 45mins or there abouts, and the 81 qual said 23 mins, Does quality directly affect the time taken to teturn results? if so how long doeas a 100 qual take (or however high it goes)?

  2. Do the quality of the GP's or MSS's count to wards the final combine, or not ?

  3. They appear to work with whatever survey tools you have available in your inventory, do they work with the shellfish one ? and is there anyway to get meat/hide/bone results back ?

TIA

MackAgp I've never achieved 100 Qual so never tested that - And I went for Max Charges over reduced time - mine are 93% effectiveness and yield 13 charges.


While not conclusive - I've tried a variety of GP's and see no difference. Have not tried multiple MSS's.


Lol, I did not know there was a shellfish survey tool! I'd be darned shocked if there was a meat/Hide/Bone survey tool, so that is a "NO".

Yes, the higher the quality, the faster the droid will send you an email. The highest i've tested were 91 rated and took 18.5 mins (give or take 10 secs)if so how long doeas a 100 qual take (or however high it goes)?

  2. Do the quality of the GP's or MSS's count to wards the final combine, or not ? Haven't noticed

  3. They appear to work with whatever survey tools you have available in your inventory, do they work with the shellfish one ? Haven't tried this one and is there anyway to get meat/hide/bone results back ? Currently the only way to get these results is through old fashion killn.....or SWGcraft. Just remember that the driod only reports back the resources' names that can be detected with whatever survey tool you equip it with.

Hi still a noob really at 1 month

how do survey droids work? what can they do for me the hard working architect?

do they buzz off and find the best resorces for you?
can you just tell them "go see whats on say talus" when your on tattoine?

i find it very hard to find things out in game the datapad seems only for real noobs.

these are prob easy/daft questions but i am in the dark over what they do.

any help would be appreciated

They just tell you what's there... no stats, nothing like that just the name and what type it is.
