Droid Engineer Archive

Hi DE's. I recently played around with the bomb droid yesterday and decided it was pretty awesome. I was curious about 3 things.

1. What is the HIGHEST explosive power you guys can get into these little bastards?

2. Is there a way to command it to detonate from the datapad or by voice so I don't have to stand right next to it and detonate it?

3. Is it still possible to name a droid. I would really like to call my bomb droids "jihad Bot" or "Martyr Droid" and have the detonation command something like "Only the martyrs will make it to heaven"

Thanks

depends on the droid type, 40 for MSE's, 50 for R2's and probots, and 60 for R3's (that translates into something like 150-200 damage per point)
2. Is there a way to command it to detonate from the datapad or by voice so I don't have to stand right next to it and detonate it?
There's the /detonatedroid command, though you still have to have the droid targeted. if you /tellpet group to have it join your group then you should be able to detonate it at about 150m (max targeting range). you can also target it by doing "/target an" though if there's other droids or some npc's around that may target the wrong thing.

haha, I actually thought about this one too (though I could see someone else not having my sense of humor and getting my account suspended for it) but you can name them, one word names only (and filter may catch those names, it tends to be picky). Unfortunately, the detonate command isn't a voice command, its a / command.

Thanks
