Why did they make so many toys in the form of R2-D2? (You should see my house. ) Why did they make so few toys in the form of a probot?

See my point?

armor is not a deciding factor, as I can put the very same armor rating on the R2 as a probot.

i'm with the other poster. Probots are the stupidest looking thing. R2's are way cooler. I don't usually need help in a fight, so my personal droid of choice is an R2.

Wouldn't people rather have a probot with 40 percent med armor with a couple modules? I dont understand the benifits of an R2-R3. Please inform me.

It's simple. Probot: 2 modules. So you can get a medical module and a crafting module or a crafting module and storage module (and yes, people DO like storage modules). But you can hardly cram everything a customer might want into the thing.

R2/R3: 3 modules. So now you can get a crafting module and a med module and a storage module or repair module in. Not bad, but still can't hold everything a prospective customer might want.

R2 Adv: 5 modules. At this point you can pretty much load it up with everything: crafting station, med module, item storage, data storage, droid repair.

R3 Adv: 6 modules. See above, but with a cooler "status symbol" look. Also, the extra module slot handles the case where you can't make the level 6 module for a particular thing because the resources don't exist and so you have to "stack" a module type or two.

The number of module slots alone definitely creates a difference in functionality beyond cosmetics.

The R frame droid hold more modules but since most of them refuse to work together it sort of wastes the frame.

Well, this may be a hair off topic, since I'm going to bring up the ADV R4, but it has 3 slots as well, and I dont have a 'working' factory to make R2's with

I'm still in the lower 1/2 of most DE trees, but I discovered a med module stack that gives me 100% medical. Ufortunatly, it takes up 3 slots in order for me to do that, so basicly if I make one of these 100 med R4's thats all they can do. But, thats still one good reason to try and sell those, and so far so good... I don't sell alot of them, but frankly, I don't think people on Florry (or at least in Tyrena) have discovered the joy of droids

Don't forget that not all of us out here are 'Master.'

Need Edit button lol... that's Flurry server (quick... before I get flamed )

I sell what i call a R3 Advance Delux module. Below is a list of the modules and the configuration allows all the modules to work.

General Cluster 0ne

Medical Module 6 bonus 110

Craft station module (food& chem or Structures or Clothing&Armour or WDG)

Datastorage module 6 capacity 150 (for all those factory schematics =P)

General Cluster Two (I final got this model rating to a 7)

Repair module

2 Item staorage lvl 4 giving 10 item capacity.

Everyone seems to love this configuration. Now if i can only paint my droid in different colors =)

Now I tested permadeath yesterday with a new advance probot with 2 item storage compartment. I had the droid knocked down three times with meat stored in it. It came back to life all three times and the meat stayed in its storage compartment...however I think there was a bug cause vitality did not move after it (animated) blew apart in combat. I sure that will be fixed soon.
