Droid Engineer Archive

There are a lot of great responses so far from this thread. The information the Knowledge Base contains about the Droid Engineer profession is growing quickly. We have a list of Publish 7 questions pulled from the documentation that will go live with the publish so that will help to transition us all from how things are as of Publish 6 to Publish 7.

Some of the questions so far are already in the KB, and some will change with Publish 7, but for the most part these were awesome entries and are already live! I appreciate the input and hopefully the Knowledge Base is becoming a valuable tool you can point your customers to. I have raised the issue up the chain of command that the web interface only shows 10 entries (there are far more than 10 Droid entries!) and hopefully we'll see some action on that. In the meantime the In-Game version should display all the entries.

The Knowledge Base has been updated with many Publish 7 entries and many entries have been changed to reflect changes made with this Publish. As a number of these changes reflect Droid changes I invite you to explore the Knowledge Base when it comes online.

Question: How do Irepair damage (not wounds) onmy droid?

Answer: To repair damage done to yourdroid you need to purchase a Droid Repair Kit from a Droid Engineer. They come in 4 types - A, B, C, and D. Droid Repair Kit D repairs more than C, C repairs more than B, etc. To use the Droid Repair Kit you can:

1. Target your droid and double-click on the tool in your inventory,
2.Drop the tool into a slot in your toolbar and press the appropriate key while your droid is targeted, or
3. Use the command line to repair your droid using the command /healDroidDamage while the droid is targeted.

Any of these three methods will use 1 charge from the repair kit and repair the droid a certain amount, depending on the quality of the tool. The quality of the tool can be seen by examining it.

New item here TK if you can get it in...very useful tidbit from TH's first "19 Questions" from Architects and Medics

"Q: What are higher rated crafting stations and tools supposed to do for you, exactly? (Assuming they are even working, of course.) and how do droid crafting stations relate to the standalone stations, since we cannot see any kind of rating numbers on droids?

TH: The effectiveness rating on crafting tools and stations influences the chance of success or failure during the assembly and experimentation stages. As far as the droid itself, it has a neutral relationship (does not effect) on the crafting process."

How does the Droids work ??? i am thinking off the use off them. Artisan droid - Scout droid ect. ect.

What do you need to get them to work??? etc. etc.

Come on, give us users some guidence here...

I have been a Master DE since summer of last year, and I still don't know the answers to at least 10% of the questions I am asked by my customers. Part of the problem is the buggy nature of our industry, part of it is due to the fact that- with a limit of 5 droids on my d-pad (even though I am MASTER? Does that make sense?! Hello???)- I often don't get the chance to experiment with new stuff for months. For instance, when the naming bug that effects 3POs, surgicals, etc. first came up, I wasn't even aware of it until it had been going on for a week or so. At first I just thought I had an unusually high percentage of low-IQ customers who were mentally incapable of following the very simple directions I (repeatedly) gave them for naming droids. Turns out I was the dummy.

Long story short, I firmly believe any database for droids in this game will be inherently hamstrung by the fluxuating, ever-changing, bug-riddled world off SWG droid engineering. Hate to bethe naysayer here, but as well-intended as your effortsmay bein this direction, I fear youwill eventually (as I did some time ago) abandon your hopes for a centralized droid database. But don't listen to me! Good luck!

TK,

Sure a knowledge base is what i love to!!
But,did the soe dev team not anticipate this?? i mean, to find the right Macro commands for example is a tough nut to crack..
The radial menu's give a lot of answers to how to incorporate a specific module command but the rest is stil a mistery...
And the marginal manual that came with the game is ..well i stil have no words for it.And the Dutch game version,that came with my game fell apart after 2 weeks since it is paperback and not like the english published one with a ring cover!!!
I found a list that was taken for the in game macro commands but that does not relate that much to droid related issues.
Maybe someone nows of a updated in game command list that is in effect after the last droid patch????

Brgds,
