Hello again folks. I want to thank all of yu who so helpfully answered my previous question and beg your indulgence again.

This is something I was unable to determine from the FAQ and cannot discern for myself.

My alt is a droid engineer and I ran into an issue with it and JTL. I an a Freelance pilot and only just decided to use a flight computer. ( I know, stupid, but I have concentrated on the ground game for most ofthe months I have played, and only recently moved into the space side. It's relaxing.) So I have no reference to base this on.

I made a astromech droid for a guildmate last night, set him up with unprogrammed chips, went over how to program it, made certain he had a droid interface and sent him on his merry way after taking his money.

He got to the Ship terminal, programmed his droid and could not load it. Now with some thought to the issue this is what I came up with.

He was not certed to use the droid.----Not the case as I made a level 1 droid and he has Rebel 1/1/1/1 I made level one as I was not certain of his Rating, did not want to over rate it on him.

His ship did not have the abilty to hold a droid.---Checked the FAQ...He flies a z-95 should be good to go.

He did not have the interface installed.---Made certain of that as soon as I got the tell with his difficulty. Went over the useage, and loading. Everything seemed fine.

Droid Programs not installed.---Walked him through the process. No problems.

The droid would not load into the slot.My thoughts on this are.

Does the droid being loaded do as other parts do and list (Loaded) ?

Does the droid move in the management screen windowslike other parts do when I load them?

Do these two thngs NOT happen and the droid programs are only available once you acess them via the Ctrl-A Astromech sub-menu?

I'm drawing a blank folks and hope that you can help me out. I couldn't find the answers to this in either the Droid Engineering or Pilot FAQ's so I'm cross posting this in the hopes that I can get my customer what he asked me for.

Thanks for any help you can offer me.

I've heard that it's possible to experiment on a lvl 1 data module enough that it becomes a lvl 2...could that be the case here?

is it a flt astro droid or just a ground r2 droid? My old R2 droid will not take space doid commands. I had to by an astro mech for space.

I wonder if this is the issue?

Thanks for the responses.

Because I didn't know of his Pilot standing I didn't experiment on the data module for the exact reason you mentioned. In either event it he would be certedto use a level 2 astromech with Rebel Pilot xxx1 ----From the FAQ's and looking at the Alliance Pilot skills window.

I made the droid with a level 1 data module, it was a R-5 model. The droid took all of the programs properly, and just would not load into the Droid slot in the management window.

Thanks again.

Was it the starter Z-95? I don't think those take droids (really not sure though).

The ship he is currently flying is the starter Z-95.

From the Pilot FAQ 3.0 Z-95's can use droids. It did not specify whether or not the "Starter" could, but it does read Z-95.

Thanks for the help, Hoping to resolve this a little better by tonight.

Ps. Attacca - Just printed the Droid Command thread and am going ot go on tonight and try it out myself.

I beg forgiveness for not having used tehm before tonight.

Please forgive me?

I know this might be a totally dumb question, but have you put in a droid interface? I don't think the starter ship comes with one.

Yeah thats the problem. There is a distinction between the crafted Z95 and a prototype. It's a holdover from the original starter ships that couldn't hyperspace, and had that annoying "Training Computer" installed.

Crafted regular Z-95s take droids the starter ship Z-95 does not.

I know this from personal experince.

Ah, Thank you all again folks.

I owe you all a beer or a can of soda for minors.

This will make me happy and my friend less confused. I will post this information over to the Droid Engineer forums so that it can be added to the updated FAQ there.

Perhaps it should be added to the Pilot one as well? I'll make a post to that thread so that other new pilots don't have the same issue.

My friend is planning n upgrading his ship tonight anyway so he will be able to use his droid in the new ship.

Thank you all again.
