1.After I have created my droid, it creates a deed. Do I have to tame it and program it, or can I give/sell to friends/customers and let them tame and program it?


2. After taming and programming, is there a way to redeed the droid? So for example I can program a droid and instead of it taking up the 5 slots I have, redeed it and then stick it on a vendor somewhere or drop in my house?


3. Is there a way I can have just the droid chassis, parts, like a C3P0 arm, head, torso, leglaying around my work shop? I think my work shop would have droids in various states ofcompletion laying around, would love to see this instead of deeds sitting all over the place...


4. Need a way to call droid and turn it off, call another and turn it off, this way can show off the different chassis or complete onessitting/standing around the house.


5. Droids should be able to run autonomously, If I set my droid to patrol my house, I should be able to log out and when I log back in, it should still be patrolling for intruders...

They can tame it and program it.

There is no way to redeed a droid. Once it is in datapad, it is always there (unless it permadies, then it is gone).


3. Is there a way I can have just the droid chassis, parts, like a C3P0 arm, head, torso, leglaying around my work shop? I think my work shop would have droids in various states ofcompletion laying around, would love to see this instead of deeds sitting all over the place...


We would all love to see this, but the parts of droids look pretty much the same, a generic frame model thingy. The best you can get is the adv chassis of droids (R4, R2, Probot, Protocol, R3, etc.) and drop those in your house as decorations.


4. Need a way to call droid and turn it off, call another and turn it off, this way can show off the different chassis or complete onessitting/standing around the house.


Not sure what you mean by turning a droid off, but you can call them and store them, and provided you have one of each of the droids (to a max of 5 different types) you could show each one that way.


5. Droids should be able to run autonomously, If I set my droid to patrol my house, I should be able to log out and when I log back in, it should still be patrolling for intruders...


Droids "should" be able to do a lot of things. The best outcome for what you propose about patrolling a droid around your house is that it would store back into your datapad. The worst and more likely outcome is that your droid would get aggroed on by a crazed durni, diseased vrelt or chuba and get permakilled.



You have some good ideas, my friend, but they won't be happening for a long time if ever. Even so, droids are pretty cool and will hopefully get cooler.


Good luck to you!

If your looking for the ability to show potential customers what each droid looks like (which is what it _sounds_ like your asking) then I'm afraid your out of luck. You can only (currently) have 5 droids in your datapad and there are 13 chassis types (and only 8 of these have advanced chassis that you can put in your house)

Ashrid, yes that is what I am trying to do. Would like to set out all of the models that I can sell....but with the 5 limit.. argh.


Thanks for info guys. I am going to stick with being a DE, just going to take my time grinding it out and having fun, as to me making droids really seems cool )
