Heyya,
im still working on grinding out master, got blueprints 4 took me about 2-3 hours with 5 tools, I dont need no stinkingmacro.. so far itspretty much cake..Notquite as easy as an architect grind but darn close. im just waiting on my last parts, advanced motive thing i guess it makes it move and i got 100 binary load lifters all set to go. Not sure if this will do it or not but ilol give it a shot and see. I can always make more parts : )
I would have made um all already but making the wrong brain, wrong motive and wrong somthing else i had to remake 3 schems and make a run of 600 control units after botching my electronic memory mods and electronic Gps Doh at least it was only about a 10-15k resorce mistake. atleast the Electoric Gps can go to some architects..But hey i did get the right manipulator arms right : P
Just thought maybe a few of you would get a kick outta my story.. DOnt ya hate it when ya run the wrong schem.
oky no for my Q's, first let me just say im a master armorer, artisan and have been making stuff since day 1 soo i know the ins and outs of crafting..
1, experimentation on parts. what exacly does it do. What i mean is. Oky i know it makes storage larger or data pad hold more schems. but what about stuff like acuator arms, or say a droid brain? do these parts really effect how the droid operates. Does it make the droid go through batteries faster or what seeing the schems really dont give you much info on what the exp does.
2, customizing a droids color. does it matter if i use a good tool or vs a bad one does it make the paint not stick or maybe not last as long.
3, i have heard that the exp is broken on crafting stations in droids is this true or is it just a rummor. I know there is a huge difference in a -15 station vs a +42 station are droids the same. I know the droids i have there is no way to tell whats inside. heck you cant even tell if it has a d-pad or even what his programed commands are. I have to retrain um all the time cuase i forget lol
4, amor modules, i know they go in probots to increase there defence, does the quality of the armor seg increase the droids armor effectiveness or is it just a generic part to add that has no effect on the end experiment.
5, i guess really what all these Q's boil down to is what should i worrry about and use my good supplies on and what doesnt matter at all soo i can use my crap. In a perfect world you would want a brain made with uber stuff soo it didnt break and would be smart,, but this is SWG and we know its far from perfect soo a little heads up would be great.
6, i decided to go DE cause way back when on day 1,, err 3 or 4 was when i finnally got engineer 4 it was a toss up between armor and DE i picked armor obviously and im glad i did cuase im not sure i would have stuck it out like you people did. But i saw these new combat droids coming out and thought heck ya what fun that could be to make. Now im worried that maybe i jumped the gun. I was gonna go chef and make bio food cause the changes in that prof seamed really cool. I did decide against it soo i could mine floral for the next 3-4 months and beable to jump in and be a crazy chef. I thought it would be really cool to make some kickin droids but now after reading your forums im kinda worried.. i mean it was in the friday feature and i thought for sure it would be in the next patch was i wrong?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out,

Does it make the droid go through batteries faster or what seeing the schems really dont give you much info on what the exp does. -- No effect we can determine
2, customizing a droids color. does it matter if i use a good tool or vs a bad one does it make the paint not stick or maybe not last as long. -- It doesn't matter, the only thing a 'better' tool does is give you more charges to use
3, i have heard that the exp is broken on crafting stations in droids is this true or is it just a rummor. I know there is a huge difference in a -15 station vs a +42 station are droids the same. I know the droids i have there is no way to tell whats inside. heck you cant even tell if it has a d-pad or even what his programed commands are. I have to retrain um all the time cuase i forget lol -- Your guess is as good as that of anyone else.
4, amor modules, i know they go in probots to increase there defence, does the quality of the armor seg increase the droids armor effectiveness or is it just a generic part to add that has no effect on the end experiment. Very good level 3s stack to level 6, ANY level 4s stack to level 6, the very worst possible level 6 is as good as it gets, 40% resist medium grade.
5, i guess really what all these Q's boil down to is what should i worrry about and use my good supplies on and what doesnt matter at all soo i can use my crap. In a perfect world you would want a brain made with uber stuff soo it didnt break and would be smart,, but this is SWG and we know its far from perfect soo a little heads up would be great. -- Apparently it would be unbalancing if you could make better droids with better materials, and it's mostly a waste if it costs you more.
6, i decided to go DE cause way back when on day 1,, err 3 or 4 was when i finnally got engineer 4 it was a toss up between armor and DE i picked armor obviously and im glad i did cuase im not sure i would have stuck it out like you people did.

Good answers Rho.
Here's the short version - quality and experimentation don't matter.

hmmm,
well thanks guys for the info. Seeing i got all my parts to hit master maybe ill just drind it make a ton of droids and head on to the next one. maybei dunno..i could take abreak from all this crafting andtry grinding FS before they nerf that too. this will be my 5th prof.. am i a step closer to FS who knows..
I guess from the sounds of it DE's are really lacking in the Love department.
Yea i can see how programing a power droid to go drop of power to your harvesters or having binary load lifters empty and bring back your resroces would really screw up the game. Crafters might acually get to go play instead speeding millions of hours slaving soo combat classes can **edit** about paying 15k for a weapon which takes um all of 5 mins to make
i can see how driving in my land speeder having my R2 help me scan for resorces will blow the whole economy. Ohh wait thats people with 5 acc and 5 cross server trades to run 100 heavies : (
I guess needing a proticol droid to translate for you would totaly ruin everyones experiance, and make the smugglers abitly to comprhend all launguages useless.. ohh wait it already is.
And A droidika would just really kill the starwars feel,, there where no driodika on hoth it was a ton of commado/CH's with flame throwers and grauls.. god people rewatch the movie ! ! !
just my 2 credits

another question
. With the medical modules the + to med use means that someone with novice medic (5 medic skill) with a +50(?) me use droid can now use 55 med use items? someone asked me this yesterday but I am only a novice and havn't crafted any yet. Hope this isn't a stupid question

my understanding of the medical rating is that the droid acts like a mobile medical center, and that the % rating determines how good the medic will be able to perform as combared against how he would perform if in the medical center.
so 50% means half as good as a medical center, and 110% means 10% better than being in a medical center.

This is the general consensus on how med modules work... The main thing is that they will allow you to heal wounds outside of med centers/cantinas.

oh ok I had it totaly wring thanks guys! Since we are on the topic of noob questions....is it worth getting master Artisan to make the componets for things like the seeker droids? Or do they not make enough money for that?
