Thread: MSE BOMB DROIDS by the crate usefull?

I have an R2 Unit Detenation Droid with A detenation power of 40....that is the highest that the particular DE who sold it to me had seen. I have not used it yet so I don't know what kind of damage it will actually do.
MSE droids get a bomb bonus so they max at 40. My DE made me a 38 that did 8K-10Kea to a group of veermoks on Naboo. The R3 is the next step up and gets about 60 because of the extra module space. The other droids are a waste of resources as they cost more nd have no benefits over the MSE and R3. The only one that would be worthwhile aside from those is a silver protocol droid that looks just like the ticket collector droids. As you can drop them next to the ticket collect and name it the same so it looks like a twin, then when people run up to cathc their flight you can blow it up for kicks...naturally it does no damage to them unless you are overt, and they are overt or with a TEF, but it would be really funny to watch.
Here is a question though: don't you think these droids are a bit impractical? I mean you cannot call droids while in combat and who travels around with a droid following them? It just seems odd having a little mouse droid or R2 following me around. They move so slow and all. It would be better if we could call them in the heat of battle.....
You can call droids from a deed whle you are FD as well. Call the droid and then the moment you stand hit the macro above and run away! Its the perfect cover, and saved my butt just last night from a bunch of maulers.

Thanks FORUM police! 
Wow, to think we almost talked about something you thought belonged somewhere else. Good thing you caught us before it got to out of hand! NewBie 
Not sure if you were aware of this.....SMUGGLERS ARE1 OF 2 CLASSES THAT CAN USE BOMB DROIDS.
This makes it a unique weapon to Smugglers and BHs, and is therefore a viable discussion in the smuggler forum.
Thanks for stopping by and posting to bumpup your post count!

No knucklehead I am not a Noob. Im on prof 20 and have been at this game since last august. If you read my post you would have seen the question marks next to wrong forum. I put the post up in case it really was the wrong forum and the original poster could have put it in the right forum and get better/more informed responses. I am however admittedly new to the smuggler prof and did not realize that these droids were smuggler/bh only. I am interested to learn this and appologize for offending you.
Sorry, just saw a post I see alot by new members that think they know it all, and figured that was the case again. Question marks are often in those posts as well so that does mean anything.
We have given him much of the info he would need given that a DE can't use the bomb droids and would likely not have the first hand experience that some of us have in using them.
I am so going to try that at coronet

I have to try this, to funny...
I set an R3 off in a quenkerlair just for kicks and the result was--nothing. It detonated but did no damage whatsoever to the lair. I don't know iflairs are immune or the droid was bugged--anyone else ever try (any bomb droid) one on a lair?

If you can attack it, it will take damage from the blast. (Everything within 17m that is.) The rumor is that there is no saving throws for these. So even Defense Mod Stackers will take the damage.
I tried the same thing against a Mokk lair this afternoon and did no damage to it either. I did some damage to the poor Mokks standing next to it, but nothing to the lair.

all the bomb bots i have used have some dreary color to them. just for the fact that i use them, i see those ugly gloomy color bots in pvp rolling around and know exactly what it is and take it out fast. has anyone changed the color to look like the normal stock color of droids. then that would be hilarious
