Thread: Clarifying about the stimpack droids

This wasn't answered in any of the posts I've seen (maybe I've overlooked it) but can -anyone- use the stimpack droids? I know that only Musicians and Dancers can use the entertainer effects droids, only Bounty Hunters and Smugglers can use the detination droids, and there are a couple other class specific modules. But can anyone use a stimpack droid? Or is that a Medic-type class only module? I'm thinking about dropping a trap projectile mod and a stimpack dispensor mod in my DZ-70 for when I go out hunting, is that possible (I have no medic skills what-so-ever)?


Thanks in advance.

Pharmacology 4 is required to LOAD the droid with stim-a's, but not use the stimpack dispenser. Try trading the droid to a Medic, have him/her load it, then return it to you. You will be able to use it without any medic skills.

And in order to use the harvest droids, you need Novice scout, fyi

That's the hard part...finding a medic or doctor who has a free droid slot on their datapad, and has time to load 500 uses worth of stim A's into your droid. I'm all for profession interdependance, but this is a little ridiculous. The /consent command, or perhaps just grouping with the medic/doctorshould be enough. It would also be nice if the DE could preload these droids so they're ready to roll straight from the vendor.

I believe you need at least Pharm 4 to use the stim droid. The stimpack modules are also stackable. So best possible one would be 6 stim mod's on a ADV R3.

The original idea behind the use of thesedroids was not for the user that wanted to be able to stim him/herself without being a medic, but for the Doctor. The original idea was that the doctor would have this droid out in combat and since there is a timer per heal, that the doc couldn't get to all members of the group. Therefore, people could request a stim from the droid until the doc could get to them. Not to mention, the complaints we used to get on how we didn't have a droid that "could actually heal you."


There is also of course 2 other arguments to consider here:

1) a Stim-A isn't going to be effective at all and the person requesting the stim has to target the droid to do so.

2) Combat Medics have Ranged Area-Stims which can possibly cover a entiregroup.

my macro for the stim droid is to



  • group the droid

  • target the droid

  • start macro (see below)


marco name: Heal

/requestStim;

/pause 01;

/macro heal;
