Thread: Is this correct?
Hmmmm. ok. My interpretation of what he said lead me to believe that the socket cluster of general moduleness was only prerequisite. Oh well. I'll keep loggin on to TC and get a sneak peek asap I guess.

One other thing to remember... elsewhere TH also said that not all droids will be combat capable. So there's more to it than just putting a combat module into a general module slot... the droid must also be authorized to carry a combat module, and THEN you can put it into a general module slot.

Kollos, I don't recall seeing this posted by TH, would you happen to have a link? My thinking (completely an educated guess, no posts really back it up)is that they would add new combat slots to droids (controlling which droids would be combat-capable) to put these new modules into.

It's in the "Where we were and where we're going thread here. Look down at the Publish 7 notes and you'll find it.

Combat module will only mount in droids capable of combat. They can be placed in one of the general droid module slots that already exist on the droid chassis’, seen during the crafting of the droid.

Basically what we're gaining is another alternative, rather than an add-on. If someone wants their droid to be combat-capable, it means they have to give up storage or medical or crafting stations or whatever. I like it that way. If all droids had combat slots in addition to general slots, then every droid out there would be combat-ready, and thus droids would cease to be unique. We'd be right back where we are now, basically.

The interesting thing about this is that the basic probot doesn't have any module slots. Did we just gain another "useless" droid?

Ah... I figured I had just missed it or something. This doesn't make any sense to me, but I guess I'll just have to see how things play out. They're going to have to revamp all the Droid Schematics to make droids capable of having the full 6 combat modules. Guess I'll have to finish grinding out my DE on Test to see how this all pans out....
