Yes, these are questions that I have gotten asked as a DE. Which is why I now do 90% of my crafting in a craft house and not in the mall. Please feel free to enjoy a laugh, and add your own wonderful experiences.


1) Do you make droids?
Answer: Droids? .... Oh, that's what all these parts are for. I thought the Master Droid Engineer title was just for show.


2) Do you have any Bounty Hunter Droids?
Answer: I'm not sure, you might want to check the big Wookiee vendor next to you named "BH Droids"


3) How do I use BH Droids?
Answer: I see by your Master Bounty Hunter title that you must be a /respec BH, or you purchased your account from ebay. So while I'm a DE and not a BH, I guess I'm the natural expert in your profession. Hold on while I forward you an email that every other MBH that's new to the profession seems to need.


4) I would like 5 of every droid you can make in an assortment of colors.
Answer: Are you HIGH? Let's crunch the numbers. We have 13 droid types (26 counting Advanced) with close to 50 modules (counting all the level 1-6 types). With 5 of every possible combination, you're asking for 1000's of droids. So let me ask you a question.... Are you HIGH?


5) Can you make a droid to make me strong?
Answer: Don't answer this question, you're opening a can of worms that will only be closed by faking a client crash and logging out for a day or two. Weapons make you strong, I'm just here to confuse new players.


6) I need a droid that does everything.
Answer: While your offer of 400cr and your "Helper" droid are tempting, there is not a droid available that can do EVERYTHING.


7) The next time you make the High Powered Bomb Droids, can you make them to match my armor?
Answer: Are you really that vain? About 90% of the BH's love how I colored my droids, so I'm not going to change an entire run of 120 high priced bomb droids, because you want to match your droid.


8) What's the best droid you can make?
Answer: Well I have this MSE droid here for 1,000,000 credits, it's on special today only. For 10% more I'll even put a module in it. You didn't say if it was the best droid for you or me.


9) I need a good droid.
Answer: Sorry, I only make poor droids.


10) Are you a Droid Engineer?
Answer: I see that my clever attempt to evade you by wearing a Master Droid Engineer title has failed, I am in awe of brilliance.

Holy cow, thats a slice of my day


How about this...

11) Can you put a new medical module in my droid? I think it's broken.

Answer: Despite the clever name "module" infering modularity, no.


12) Can you name my droid R2-D2?

Answer: George Lucas would hunt me down if I did violate his work. I don't pay $12.95 a month to be at the top of the BH boards because I overstepped my boundaries.


13) Make me a free droid with the best of eveything. It's just a droid, its not like it's armor or anything. (this actually happened to me 2 days ago)

Answer: While I would love to go to my factory and make several runs of parts to make that specific droid and use the resources I have carfully gathered to make high quality product and pass that work and effort on to you for absolutely no compensation other than an oblique slam at my profession not being a "real" profession, I am going to have to respectfully decline.


14) My combat droid doesn't work. Why does it get killed by a gnort?

Answer: Well, I think its because the devs boosted the gnort's stats. Be carful, if you damage them, they turn into the creature Luke fought on Hoth and eat your arm and then you get a crummy bioenhanced cybernetic limb that I was supposed to be an integral part in building but am not because of the expediency factor.


15) Can I trade you my old droid for a new one? I don't like the color of this one you made me.

Answer: First of all, I asked you the color scheme before I made it. Second, why didn't you tell me what colors you wanted more than those you told me first. Lastly, here's a trim kit, knock yourself out, just don't sniff the fumes.

16. Do you have any droids for sale?
No, but you can rent them by the hour, if desired.

I posted this before so im going to repost it


The other day I was traveling around and took the shuttle from my town to Coronet starport, before I finish loading in a hear a tell.





  • random guy: hey could you make me a medical droid.


  • me: sure any chassis preference?


  • random guy: a medical droid, whatever is best.


  • me: surgical droid ok for you?


  • random guy: sure.

I begin crafting, and he starts doing what looks like a caffeine induced seizure with this mouse.



2 minutes later




  • random guy: you done yet?


  • me: no, but almost done.


  • random guy: ok cool (continues seizure)


  • me: shoot I'm out of memory modules.


  • random guy: where you get those from.


  • me: factory runs. I got more at home, I be right back.


  • random guy: ok, ill wait outside starport


  • me: ok

shuttle takes off he walks off I get a ticket back to town (this is when there was 5 min. shuttles)



load into town




  • random guy: hey you got my droid done yet


  • me: no I just got to my city heading to my house for parts.


  • random guy: ok


get to house get crate and start finishing the droid




  • random guy: hey is my droid done yet


  • me: almost its cooking now


  • random guy: aright I'm still at starport


grab sarcastic chip and put it in droid for the added bonus freebie I'm sure he will enjoy.




  • me: ok I'm heading back to coronet


  • random guy: sweet, I will be out front of starport.


get to coronet and traded the guy the droid and a crate of (2) 4 charge batteries. then set back to watch him program his droid, ahh vengeance is sweet. After thinking about it I wish I put a stupid chip in instead.
