No it is an exploit and it costs DE's money. Since Droids don't decay we make money off of consumables such as bh droids and custom kits. This exploit takes away a big chunk of revenue.
Correct.
Healing a Droid withbacta shot (non droid stims)is a bug. Taking advantage of that bug is an exploit. Nuff Said!

Do you think you could have given 3PO a Bacta Shot when he was torn apart in Cloud City and make him feel better? Nope he had to have specialized services to put him back together and to make him functional again. Bacta shot/toss/spray is for flesh only.
Plese dont use movie logic. I think I summed it up above. Movie Logic = Sabers cutting blast doors (in game makes me cry).

How does the +medical bonus works? it doesnt actually heals you but give you a healing bonus when you're healing yourself if i get it straight?
and does that heal boost works with jedi heals too?

No it does not for Jedi. Jedi heals are set numbers.

+++++++++++ ATTENTION JEDI DROID USERS +++++++++++
Just an FYI here. If you are going to use droids i suggest that you group with them immediately. As far as I am aware (Baciacca or someone more in the know can confirm or deny) your own pets/droids/faction pets will give you visibility unless you are grouped with them. Just a word of advice unless the Jedi Coor or a Dev says otherwise.

Droids don't give vis. They're Entities, not Characters. Mouse over the little dot on your Radar to see what gives vis.

The R2/R3 droids are much better for Jedi. They do melee type kinetic damage rather than the Probot's energy damage. Bounty Hunters typically spend nothing on kinetic protection, so if an armor break is applied, the R2 can hit for over 200 damage once per second.
If a Bounty Hunter comes after you with a droid in tow, it is in the Jedi's best interest to seperate the BH from his droid. Most BH use a compromise healing/attack droid. The healing portion of the droid gives them an added 300 or so to their best heal. Taking this away from them typically means I am able to beat them.
How do you seperate them? Run! When you run, the BH tends to forget the droid, trying to stay on your tail. Droids cannot keep up with their owners at burst run speed, so the separation is only a matter of time. If the owner is paying attention to what's happening (most don't), they will try to get their droid to follow by shouting some command. If they do this, root or snare the droid, making the Bounty Hunter loose time waiting on the droid, or loosing track of where the droid is. In my experience, once the Bounty Hunter THINKS you are running from them, they do not wait on their droid and try to pursue at any cost. Typically that cost is the BH's life...

When grinding I keep my Droid out at all times just in case a BH attacks, its nice because its more of a pest for them and throws them off. My alt is almost Master DE so I cant wait to make some stronger Droids.

Metal with high OQ/CD is more important then MDE. I took me a year to get good resources to spawn for some of these droids.

I end up winning he told me he got the kd bug
i love that. i get that all the time. i generally wait to use my KD until they are low on action then drop it on em and they lay there for a while while i pile on the states and damage.
when they die they always say "i got the KD bug thats the only reason you won...". when in fact it was not a bug but simply knowing your template and how combat works.

Thanks, I wasn't positive about that. Could be my massive paranoia around visibilty though.... If they're really all out to get me is it still paranoia?
