Are these things limited to just paying fees? How about depositing power and retrieving resources from the hopper?

How about allowing us to program our droids to automatically pay fees, repair and deposit power when they reach zero. Let us choose how much it will automatically add when these values are zero. I'd like a special droid set-up for this. perhaps the droid woul dbe a maintenance droid exclusivly and will have its own little cubby it resides in to recharge and await its scheduled rounds. It would be a non-datapad droid.

Those are some good ideas, but currently the droid only pays the fee that you specify for a given structure. In other words you assign your structures to the droid, then when you want to use it, you tell the droid "Ok, for structure A pay 1000 credits maintenance, for structure B pay 500 credits maintenance. Now GO". Then the droid disappears for a couple hours, depending on how many strucutures you are maintaining and how far away they are from your current location.

You cannot deposit Power with these droids and you can't program it to function at a particular time or to monitor your structures. You have to send the droid manually and specify each time how much maintenance to pay for each structure. It will also drain all its battery power with each maintenance run regardless of how many structures it is sent to maintain.

Hope that helps

so what is teh point for various levels of structure maintenance modules. Level 1 modules do teh same thing as lvel 2 modules?

these modules are so bugged and useless that i dont even make them anymore...

the level determines the amount of WP you can store for the droid... i belive a level 3 can hold 9 WP and with 5 maint droids you can service 45 harvestors.. good for large mining operations

if only they worked. pump a harvestor pull of weeks of power, and let it run , adding mint with a droid and going to remove resources every few days.
