My apologies if this has been addressed in another post, but I'm not a DE and don't regularly read everything in this forum.


I spent about a half hour in game with a CSR diagnosing a problem with my Adv R3 droid (Structure Maint, Stim Dispenser, 3 combat mods, one other I can't remember). Worked fine until today. While the maintenance tasks still show up in the droids radial menu, and I can still assign structures to it from a structure radial menu, the droid radial maint functions do absolutely nothing. Neither Edit Structures nor Perform Maint run bring up the window allowing you to proceed.


As it turns out, we found out that if you redeed a structure without first taking the structure out of the droid's list of assigned structures, you break it as above. If you remove it from the list first, it works fine. If it breaks, there is no workaround. The CSR could see that the deleted structure was 'stuck' in the droid's list, but even clearing all structures out didn't fix it.


Soif this isn't known by know you may want to advise your customers so they don't come back in true lynch mob-like fashion.

I was afraid that is what happened. Well put down another unhappy customer. I had my little droid all set for 9 structures and sent him off to take care of them (4+ hrs later) I logged in and removed 2 of the structures. Now my Maint droid won't work anymore. I can't bring up the maint or edit window from the radial. So I promise not to hang the DE that built this. However how long before the nice folk (DEVs) hot fix it?

Indene, I had heard you were having probs with yours. I worked with a client yesterday who was also having this problem. I ended up refunding his money. I will be sure to put this information in description notes on my vendor from this point on...

I have 6 or 7 droids out there like that, all R3s with other modules on them as well. I had my 1st customer come back last night. I made him an R4 with a lvl 3 structure maint module for free. I plan to do that for everyone else who comes back, unless they insist on a new R3.

this is why i don't sell these droids to the masses via my vendors. it'd be the same thing as selling a defective product and that's bad for business.

I am certain the DE would refund my money but it wasn't his/her doing and I can afford the loss to see if the devs fix it. If they dont I have a cute little tank Dz70 with storage for 10 )

-Indene- ( who wont be buying another till this is fixed as it is stupid to expect me to remember to remove the item from the droid list before I redeed it. )
