What is the highest quality crafting station (Weapon, Droid and General in particular) that can be found in a droid?
How many modules does it take up?
Could a droid have 2 crafting stations (of different kinds)? If so, could an Arthree have 2 crafting stations and 4 harvesting modules and still harvest sufficiently for a master scout to use and get more meat than he normally could? Would you recommend 2 seperate droids, one for crafting (and maybe storage) and another for harvesting?

Alright, here goes:
-Crafting stations in droids have a neutral effect on crafting. As in the experimentation doesn't matter jack. As in all droid crafting stations are created equal. I will tell you however, that I haven't seen any improvement over a droid crafting station using a +22 station. In fact, I think the +22 station crit fails more often.
-An R3 can hold 2 stations, yes. It can also hold 4 stations, or however many you want. The way creature harvesting works (from another post I read that has experiments one person ran) if the droid's rating is 70% or better of your skill, it should have no problems matching or beating you. Which means the droid will need about 17.5 in each of those harvesting module to work with a master ranger, and 17.5 is 87.5% experimentation- which you should be able to get. I hit 17.xx with my resources.
-I would indeed recommend 2 separate R3 droids. One with 4 stations, item and data or med, and another with 5 creature harvest and 1 combat (so the droid won't run when aggro'ed)

Very helpful.
As a recovering bounty hunter, I know little about the noncombat life. It is an interesting transition process. But whenever I get the 'resource hunting blues', I just remind myself it is still easier and less annoying than hunting a bugged bounty mission.
