Droid Engineer Archive

hiya, I had a question in regards to what type of factory that i can use to make schematics for DE subs and the droids themselves. Also if the droids can be made in a factory ( i saw the mse droid could be made into a schematic, but figured i'd check with ya'll ex-MCM here with 20+ broken schematics hehe) do they come in crates or as a single unit?

Next question, I ground out mouse droids and now I can train my first box. Which tier of skills should I travel up first? I read another post here where blueprints was mentioned and ADCs. Will not having master artisan be more of a headache for those little subs in that box?

thanks in advance.

All droid parts, as well as completed droids, can be made in a plain old 'Equipment Factory'. All results will be in crates, so far results I've gotten on various items has been anywhere from five per crate for the few completed droids I've done this way (BH droids) through 25 per crate for many or most components.

Most DEs train blueprints 1 and then blueprints 2. The reason for this is not so much the droids that can be made with that training, but the component you gain at blueprints 2, the 'Advanced Droid Frame Unit'. With this schematic, and a lot of fiberplast, and even MORE steel, you can go all the way to master for 3/4 of a million credits and a case of carpal tunnel syndrome. In addition, at blueprints 3 we gain the probot, one of our actual sellable items.

If you intend to make a living out of Droid Engineering, I recommend training Master Artisan. You will need MANY M.A. components, so unless you've got a really good, really reliable supplier who never stops playing, you are best off training it yourself.
