Droid Engineer Archive

Anyone know of any good sites that explain what droids are suppose to do? I got mastera couple of months ago and am just waiting to see if there is a droid worth making. The ones I do make don't seem to work right or are super gimp. I'm just frustrated to know what they're suppose to do, even if it's something lame I just want to know.

For example, I finally got the resources to make level 6 medical modules. So I whip out an R5 plug in the module and food crafting station, go to the cantina but I still can't heal wound dmg with the droid out and I thought that was what that medical module was for?

I'm all confused, please if anyone has some site or knows what's suppose to work and what's broken, I'd appriciate any info.

Thanks.

Hello, not a DE, just a Droid owner here. The problem with your med droid is that you are inside, there have been many changes to med functionality, but right now they only work outdoors.

By Dev decree, Medical Modules are disabled in Cantinas. They maintain it's to keep the right atmosphere for the location.

Not exactly. Right now, the only place that a medical module will NOT work is INSIDE a Cantina, I believe.

You know what would be really cool, if the developers actually told you the way things were suppose to work. In EQ they used to use the term: "Functioning as intended" that way you knew it was suppose to be that way.

I'm not really a hard core droid engineer I just like building them. So I make one, my buddy asks me what it does and I'm like I don't know, it's a crafting station, well that's stupid. I make a binary load lifter, what's that do? Umm it walks around and you put stuff in it. I make a protocal droid, what does it do? Umm not sure, it's a crafting station. Wow that's cool a crafting station! I make an advanced probot, what's it do? I still don't know what they do, they couldn't kill a baby chuba.

I don't like to bitch but comon what a bunch of crap! Maybe figureing out what the purpose of a droid engineer is you'll become a jedi....just something to think about....

Right now, the only droid with a true "purpose" is the Probot. It's a combat droid that has seen better days lol. Beyond that the droids are whatever we make them to be...you can drop a crafting station or med module into a MSE chasis and now it's a crafting droid or healing droid =).

That's part of what many of us are asking the Dev's to do..give our droid frames purpose. Make the power droids really be able to charge up Harvestors...Repair droids have the ability to be the only droid with the repair module placed in it to repair other droids....Surgical droids the only ones with the ability for lvl 4+ med modules to be placed in them. You can't have the surgical be the only one with med mods or you kill the novice DE that place them in MSE droids and sell them for a few credits =).

let me get this straight. You got to master DE and don't know the answer to those questions?

Na I just like clicking, not figureing stuff out. That's cool, I'll just sit on it for a few months and eventually they'll put cool stuff in. The way I look at it is just get the skills now and wait for the nerf later. I'm hopeing that Final Fantasy XI will keep me entertained long enough for SWG to patch in some of the stuff they've been promising since the get go.

Got 2 dudes, Master: Bio-engineer/Pistoleer and Weaponsmith/Droid Engineer/Clothing

Best way I figure is deactivate accounts for 3 months then try again

You guys have fun and make sure they put in those combat droids!
