Can someone answer these questions for me.
I was wonder to get politician xp do you need to be a mayor. If so and there is only a set number of player cities (I'll say 5 per planet I don't really know as know proberly guessed) that would mean that these cities who proberly are voting for their friend or someone in their pa will most likely only ever have 1 or 2 mayors.
How do other ppl get xp? also why would anyone vote for a new politician when they can have a master politician?

Sorry if this has been asked a million times - but anyway here goes.
How does the pistoleer skill works? Pistol acc, Pistol acc while standing, while moving etc etc
EX: Pistol ACC 100, while standing +40 while moving +50
Lets say i stand still and fire.
What att get counted? The regular 100 ac + standning?
When moving - is it only the 50 or the ACC(100)+moving(50) = 150

you are correct. i believe that when moving, you gain a -60 modifier that would reduce the 150.

i am not a dancer,i am not a scout, i am not a smuggler. there are droidsi have not tested on the field and when i get questions about them i answerthem based on what i know about other droids.
i have not sold many harvester droids mainly because i do not stock droids.in fact i only made 3 and sold 2. i recently made one in an adv dz70 and another in an R2 unit. the guy who i sold the dz70 told me that the droid would not harvest but he does get more when he harvests while its floating about. at first he reported that the droid didnt have a harvest menu on the radial but it appeared there after its 4th or so call. the guy who i sold the R2 totold me that the droid harvestsbut he is not allowed to harvest the same corpse as the droid. heshappy about thedroid cause he doesnt have to run around but theres no bonus for him,not even of a single unit.
having not been a droid using scout myself, i cant say which of these guys stories is how the harvest droid is suppose to behave.both guys have the same harvest skill, ones a ch and the other has 4/x/4/x scout. the ch is the one thatgets the bonusbut the droid will not harvest. his dz70 only has one harvest mod in it compared to thefive thats in R2. all the modules are the same rating.

In simple terms, what exactly do you want to know?
Your point got lost in your explanation. Please make it clear which droid doesnt work and what you want us to elaborate on?

Let me take a crack at what he's asking:
1) Your friend with the DZ70 is not getting an inherit harvest bonus for having the droid just floating around while he does the harvesting. Period. And it sounds like he just hasn't programmed the droid properly to harvest.
2) Tell your friend with the R2 that he is correct: Only the droid or himself can harvest the creature, not both. The bonus he get from having the droid harvest diminishes as he gains for skills in scout (so at Master, he will probably be able to harvest better than the droid), but its lasting bonus is the fact he can send the R2 out to harvest while he fights other creatures.
Does that help?

If I recall correctly, you get a bonus if you are grouped with someone/thing. This might explain his report if he's grouped with the DZ-70.

There is a group penalty when grouped with other players. pets don't trigger this.
