I know you needit to interact with your droid/flight computer(like an R2 unit if Reb, or a similar looking
device to the droid interface if a flight computer)in order to access you special commands. As far as
how to use it............. I need help here as well.

because each overload program that you run will add to your reactor drain and will soon disable said component. The only way to avoid this is to have a GINORMOUS reactor or to run RO3, with which you can run any program with a decent reactor.

Think about any time you were up against an agressor, trying to hammer out it's rear turret but it has chewed through your shields; how desperately you wanted to reinforce your front shields to finish the job... with a DI and front shield reinforcement or cap to shield shunt, you can.
How about those guns? They just don't hit hard enough do they? It still takes you a couple of handfulls of shots to kill tier 4's doesn't it? With weapon overload it is now a 2-5 shot game.
How about your engine... can't keep up with the interceptor ships can you? Engine Overload.
What you do is you get a droid interface with a low speed number ( the lower the faster) and load that up. Now go visit you local DE and get whatever level astromech / flight computer you are certified for. You are now ready to roll.
Activate your droid (or FC) fromyour inventory. Now open your datapad and select Program Droid from the radial menu. From here it is simply a matter of selecting the programs you see on the left and movinng them tothe right then clicking the commit button.
Whats that? you don't have all of the programs you'd like? Ask a rebel (or imp or privateer) to program a chip for you (check the bazaar, or a DE, or a Shipwright for these) with the program you want on it. These program exactly the same way from your datapad.
As for using them:
Launch your ship (make sure to load your droid first) open up ctrl+a and you'll see an astromech tab. This tab contains all programs you have available to you. Just make sure you overload your reactor before anything else!
