As asked before there is now this question coming up in my mind..
Droid interfaces are meant for Speed = good more speed = better low speed = bad
BUT
how you determinane Speed?
on the One side
there are Postings like This
"Crafted and looted droid interface stats are now tiered appropriately---low level crafted items have higher command speeds, and high level items have lower command speeds. "
means (as example) mark 1 = 10.0 (bad) mark 2 = 15.0 (better) mark 3 = 20.0 (good) mark 4 = 25 (best)
and the posting in the Trade Forums who say (as master shipwright)
Interface Enhanced Command Speed an?
Mark I Speed 12.1, Mark II 14.5; Mark III 16.7
is good an guide who says
Mark I Speed 12.1, Mark II 14.5; Mark III 16.7
is good an guide who says
The higher the rating, the less time it takes between commands. If the Droid Interface is disabled during combat, you won't be able to the Droid Command Programs.
is right too ?
or are some peaople right who say "lower" is better
means (as example) mark 1 = 25.0 (bad) mark 2 = 20.0 (better) mark 3 = 15.0 (good) mark 4 =10 (best)
But in that case.. why to buy Mark I Speed 12.1, Mark II 14.5; Mark III 16.7 ??
please answer just didnt get it anymore... right now i had destroyed some lvl 1 Droid interfaces with Speed 10.0 and 9.6 if there where the best its really "bad" but on the other side if there where the worst.. its really "good"
so good bad.. what is what *g*??

my question is another :
- i can wait 1 or 5 minutes, no big problem is droid speed is slow. But what i wanna know, is the difference between MK 1 droid and mk4 droid interface except speed.
Right now im using Mark 1 droid and except speed no other problems, my reactor overload IV work with engine and weapon overload III.

Lower numbers are better.
10.0 Is Great.
15.0 Is bad.
It's the length of time before you can issue another command.
Speed, Weight and Power Requirements should be the only differences.

and the patch from today should correct that. From today onwards, Mark I droid interface will have high speed (bad) and higher level will have lower speed.
That mean that your lvl 1 droid interface with speed 13 & mass 500 are being nerfed, and therefore gain some value on the trade market.

We need something like this on all components. Recharge rate and other speeds are often debated by my friends and I. Is there somewhere that specifies whether higher or lower numbers are better for each attribute?

Droid command speed changed today with the patch. Higher is better.

as postet above-->Droid command speed changed today with the patch. Higher is better. <----
know what i mean..?
its statet everywhere even the devs in the Patch notes say
---->Crafted and looted droid interface stats are now tiered appropriately---low level crafted items have higher command speeds, and high level items have lower command speed<-----
but all my ingame friends believie in that
higher = better..
so they destroyed all the 10.0 Mark 1 Droid interfaces or sale the for 500-1000 cr *sigh*
didnt remember when people was so confused on the same thing.. *g*

Go and make a new Droid Interface.
With the same materials, a Level 2 DI has a lower command speed than a Level 1.
Thus, lower's still better.
I think you missread the patch notes...

Np, they just reversed the speeds I guess. I was going by the fact that I had a looted lvl 1 interface with 14.4. I was thinking it would have made more sense to switch the calcation than retroft looted components.

That's exactly why I spent some time making a bunch of 12.1 speed 430 mass ones last night.

Last night I tested my Mark I Droid Interface (14.2 command speed).
69 seconds between commands.
Just now I re-tested the same one.
69 seconds between commands.
Looks like an economy just opened up for Pre-Nerf Droid Interfaces.
