Thread: So I need a droid
1) At this point, the advanced R3 is about the best you can get for anything. Holds 6 modules of any type, plus 2 armor peices I believe (check the DE forums).
2)Yes, only one type of trap can be loaded at a time.
3)It depends. I believe if you have 6 trap modules loaded into it, then it will hold 44 (which makes perfect sense cause traps come in stacks of 5....../shakeshead), but I'm not sure of hard numbers. My trap droid didn't convert through the CU well at all (all the armor dissapeared and now it's CL 1 with 100 hitpoints.........droid levels are the stupidest idea ever). Another droid I have with 2 trap modules holds (I believe) around 20.
DO NOT get a trap throwing droid. These are merely one trick ponies that serve little use.
Instead, get a good Pro-bot droid. A fighter. This is what is known as a combat multiplier, as it does damage in addition to the damage you are doing. While each individual shot may not be all that much damage, realize that it accumulates over a short period to add up to quite a bit.
I doubt I could have taken down all the Krayts I did, solo, without a droid. The constant fire from the droid either matched or surpassed the healing of the dragons, allowing my damage to go towards lowering the overall Health.
Killers good. One trick ponies (harvestors and trap throwers) bad.
