Hello there,
I'm starting up as a weaponsmith and I was just wondering if droids have any use for a crafter these days? I know there wa s talk of it once upon a time.
Thanks!

Yeah they have lots of use for a crafter - your friendly neighbourhood DE can make a droid with a crafting station in it which acts as a private crafting station (so allowing you to use all your schematics where ever you like and so craft even out in the wilds)...also you can get upto 10 extra storage items in a droid (handy for crafters if you are like me and always seem to have a full back pack!) and they can also store data - allowing you to store manufacturing schematics on them - keeps from cluttering up the datapad!
Combat abilities come in handy when your going round harvesters too....

I thought they were adding droids to assist in resource surveying and harvester maint?

Oh yes, forgot those! hehehe...
There are maintenence modules that allow a droid to wander off and add credits to your structures and there are Interplanetary survey droids that allow you to see what resources have spawned on a planet - don't give yiou any stats but you know they are there....

If you're not in a hurry, www.swgcraft.com works just as well for the resource locations (even though it may be a day or two after spawning before it's listed). Maintenance droids are now effectively useless, since maintenance is automatically deducted from your bank account if you forget to pay it.
Interplanetary survey droids may be helpful in jumping on a resource spawn before it's camped, but you don't get to see the stats. I probably wouldn't purchase a droid specifically for maintenance reasons. I consider neither moduleto be of any real value.
