Thread: BIG nerf in Publish 8!
I just read yesterdays TC update notes. They changed the trap module for the droids so you can put in more then one stack of the same kind of trap. Thank goodness, good call soe. Otherwise it was worthless and gave us the same problem of constantly reloading it after 5. Easier to load hotkey then a droid too Im sure.
What I want to know about the harvesting is this. Once you tell the droid what to harvest, does it automatically go harvest your kills when they drop? Or do you have to target the dead creature and give it the command to harvest? If its the later, and only you or it can harvest, not both. Again, whats the advantage of it? Whats the purpose and what help/assistance/benefit does it give to use true scouts/rangers? As I stated in a post on Ranger, something that uses a skill from profession x, should primarily be a benefit to profession x. Then secondarily benefit profession y. In this case the modules should 1st benefit scouts/rangers, then second benefit DE. DE in the sense that they are wanted items, and so its something they can sell.
Squid,
First of all, it helps because we can't harvest while in combat. This way, we can get the droid working while we're still shooting stuff. Second, it's easier than a macro. Third, it stores the harvest for you.
It's just a question of convenience. Is this a massive change and everyone will want to use it? No. But it's a nice touch to add something Star Warsy to a generally not very Star Warsy profession.

Roz,
From what I'm reading, it may increase the levels based on your harvesting skill. I am still testing this, and I'll let you know once I get a firm idea of how it works.

Yeah, I've done some more reading as well and I'm real impressed with how this mod is shaping up. Sounds like the module will either harvest slightly less, maybe the same or even slightly more based on quality of the module. So I'm sure once it hits live the norm for this unit, a week or two after launch, will be for harvester droids to harvest slightly better than it's master. So slightly better plus making harvesting easier for us sounds great.
