OK well since there isnt a comprehensive listing that I could find anywhere, why dont I start one here and post what I have, and I'll fill it in with any new info that any of you have if anyone gives me any feedback or cares =) Its all preliminary right now, so please post corrections and I'll edit them in.
Droid routines will not show any differences in numbers displayed on your ship layout in-flight, except for damage incurred by overload commands. Certain pilot commands such as /eshields, /ethrust and /epump will also reset all systems to default upon completion, as will landing planetside, repairing, and dying. Hyperspacing will not reset your ship, however.
Astromech/Flight Computer Data Storage and Speed (provided by SciguyCO)
Level 1: 20 capacity
Level 2: 40 capacity
Level 3: 70 capacity
Level 4: 110 capacity
Level 5: 125 capacity
Level 6: 150 capacity
Most droid commands, unless otherwise stated, will execute in (Interface Speed * Level of Command) seconds. That is, with a 15.0 speed interface, level 1 commands take 15 secs, level 3 take 45, level 4 take a minute. Overload routines of all levels were tested to take (Interface Speed * 5) seconds, either by bug or design. Droid commands will not "wear out" over time like ground-side buffs, but last until reset by a pilot command, death, landing on a planet, or being overridden by another droid command.

Updated RO3 and 4 based on new tests; values for EO were confirmed. Continuing to update as more numbers and test results are being shared. Are the data sizes accurate for all the levels? Is it 5-10-20-40? 5-10-20-25? Or is it different for different programs? Thanks for everyones input!

This should get stickied, or at least added as a linked post to the FAQ. You might want to send a PM to _Smoke_.

maybe i should shut up but umm weapon overload 3 does not work like that and yes im aware of what the description says. basically weapon overload 3 has been working like the new program the neutrals have. it doesnt totally work like the neutrals program but it gives less drain to your capacitor and thats all you need. but please, shh and dont tell anybodythen againmaybe everyone knows.

I've had the same experience. It probably *is* a bug and if they "fix" it, I'll switch around the programs I use, but currently with Weapon Overload 3 running I am not able to drain even a mediocre capacitor no matter how constantly I fire. It reduces the capacitor cost by half.

I don't think I have gotten my Reactor Overload to work correctly, or maybe I am missing something. But, I used reactor overload 2, landed, and rechecked my generation rate, but it was the same. Does it not actually increase the rate, but increase certain functions of your ship? Such as: speed, capacitor energy, etc., while you're flying?

I'm wondering what the maximum data size is in our droids/flight comps? Can we fit all the programs in there right now without problems?

I do not believe there are *any* programs that require only 1 space of storage - not since 11.4. If you currently have some that do, removing and reloading will change them to the *new* size of 5.
All droid programs work 'in space' only. While those who use them understand this, new pilots do not. You can not always 'see' what the programs is doing, which makes some testing difficult. Landing, ejecting, and being blown upwill all removel any program effects, and many have been known to 'wear off' in-flight.

Yeah, weapon overload 3 seems broke... reduced capacitor drain instead of increasing it...
The Capacitor to Shield Shunt is a quick shields repair. Not exact on the numbers, but CtSS 3 appears to drain about 3/4s of the current energy in my capacitor, and converts it to shield hitpoints (don't have numbers, sorry). This is not a permenent setting, just a one-hit heal - your capacitor will recharge as normal. Very nice when something is blasting through your shields, or to speed up getting back into a fight. It also has a FAST droid command speed, so you can hit it again fairly soon. 
Definately staying in my computer.

You forgot "Weapon Tuning" and "Engine Tuning" for Imps: reduce power requirement (capacitor use for weapons,I think), reduce effectiveness. I have a hunch that the Tuning 3 and Overload 3 programs may have swapped functions. Has increased damage with Weapon Overload 3 actually been tested? I certainly see reduced capacitor usage when it's active.
Oh, and program capacity is determined by the level of your flight computer or astromech.
Level 1: 20 capacity
Level 2: 40 capacity
Level 3: 70 capacity
Level 4: 110 capacity
Level 5: 125 capacity
Level 6: 150 capacity

It only works while you're in space. When you land it's reset to the way it was before.
I don't know specific numbers, but very simply, if you have components that draw 16,000 units of power and your reactor generates 15,000 units, you'll see the reactor numbers in the red when you Manage your ship.
You can launch into space and one or some of your components will be disabled--your countermeasure, an ordnance or two, possibly more.
Then run Reactor Overload, and your reactor will be generating now 16,000 or more units of power, and all your systems will come back online.
It's something you need to run each time you launch, though.

Thanks for the summary of the commands. Very nicely laid out too.
