Droid Engineer Archive

I am a Master Artisan, Master Merchant, and working towards Master Weaponsmith currently on Scylla server. Now yesterday I decided I wanted to get a nice Droid with storage and a Generic/Weapons Module. So I set out to find one and talked to a few different droid builders trying to figure out prices.Finally I found an R2 unit. Shiney and Red and full of beeps and blips.

Seeing as how I have craploads of Ores instock from current professions, I start going through them all and get the highest Conductivity and Decay rated stuff I have. I don't see that it matters except that the max amount of charges I can achieve is 3! Is this correct? if so I won't use high quality stuff.

forget decay rates.. whats important is conductivity.. get higest conductivity.. with a 780 conductivity copper i can get 4 charges.. i'm hopeing with 998 conductivity copper (there is curently some on my server) i can get 5 charges

Greetings!

From my experience, conductivity is the only attribute that determines the amount of charges a droid battery will have. With the right resources, I've managed to get four charges in a single battery.

It seems to be every 20% you get a new charge, not including the first 20%. From 1 - 40% you have 1 charge, 41 - 60 you have 2, 61 - 80 you get 3 and 81 - ? you get 4. I'm assuming that ? is 100, though I suppose it could be 99, allowing 100 to give us 5 charges. But who would use a 1000 cond metal for batteries?

Well, the 951 conductivity copper I use has only 172 overall quality or something like that... so I don't use it to build droids. I forget why I have so much, though...

You guys are using 950+ CD copper in droid batteries?! Personally I'd just as soon carry a few additional batteries around than waste that kind of premium resources.

It's Swoci copper. It's not "premium" if the OQ is in the 170s, no matter how high the conductivity is.

Ok here is another question to think about also.

If you experiment with the battery will you increase the amount of charges. I'm a master artisan and can use if I remember right up to 12 experimentation points. This should max a battery.

You can only experiment an item up to the maximum stats possible given the resources you used for it. Lower quality resources = lower max experimental attributes.

-X-

Using 951 conductivity copper, I can only get four charges out of a battery, even experimented to 95%.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if a schematic bases it's experimentation potential solely on conductivity or simply does not base it at all on overall quality, then the OQ doesn't mean anything. 950 CD copper in that case would clearly be premium.

You are correct. But the only thing I build that uses Conductivity and NOT Overall Quality is.... droid batteries.

Ahh. That would be the rub then.
