Thread: Detonation modules
Which droids are the best to use for boom droids, and will 2 modules in one droid double the effect? Also... what kind of damage output should one have (at least) for the droid to have any effect?

1) MSE droids are best becuase they get a +10 bonus to detonation for each module
2) More modules = More Boom 
3) They are blast damage I believe and even an 18 power MSE Bomb Bot can cause quite a bit of damage. I saw a MSE Bomb Bot take out several low level creatures. They just need to be in a 15M range I believe.
FYI) If you didn't know Bomb Droids can only be used by Smugglers and BH's

Detonation Module
The Detonation Module has a maximum rating of 10 per module. When installed into a MSE or Adv MSE, a +10 per module bonus is applied, for a maximum rating of 20 in an MSE and a maximum rating of 40 in an Adv MSE. The MSE droids are the only line of droids that provides such a bonus and is considered to be the most cost effective. A Detonation droid will provide approximately 175 points of damage per every 1 point of rating. The damage values appear to have a range of 150 to 200 points of damage per point, so 175 points of damage is only an estimate. Detonation Modules produce Blast damage and are affected by AR and resists, as well as the 75% PvP combat reduction. An Adv R3 can produce the biggest bang, with a maximum Detonation rating of 60.
That's directly from Drashk's wonderful FAQ. If you're a noob DE, or just have questions, it's the best place to start.
