Module
Types:
Medical:
Highest medical rating is 110. Medical ability allows you to
heal wounds outside of a med-centre or camp, but not in a cantina or
hotel. A rating of 100 is the same as healing in a med-centre.
Storage:
Highest storage rating is 10 items. Storage allows you to
store items in your droid.
Data:
Highest data rating is 150 items. A level 4 module allows you
to have a rating of 110 items. Data allows you to store schematics
currently.
Module Stacking:
Lower level modules can be stacked together to improve the
effectiveness of the overal module. To get the effectiveness of a level
6 module, you can use a level 4 module and a level 3 module. The
mathematical formula is: (Level of module 1) + (Level of module 2) - 1 +
... + (Level of module n) - n. So, taking the level 4 and level 3 module
example, you get 4 + (3 - 1) = 4 + 2 = 6. This applies for armour as
well.
Armor:
Two level 4 armour modules give you 40% Medium armour. This
is obtained by one level 6 armour module. 40% medium armour is the
current max for armour. Droids that use armour have special slots for
them. They do not take up module slots.
Personality Chips:
These effect the comments that droids say (random messages by
the droid), as well as the conversational interface. Only three types of
droids currently use personality chips: surgical, protocol, and LE
Repair. There are seven types of personality chips: Normal, Stupid,
Sarcastic, Worshipful, Geeky, Prissy, and Slang. The Geeky and Slang
personality chips are bugged and do not work. Droids with personality
chips can not be named. There is a special slot for the personality chip
on the droid, so it does not take up a module slot.
Repair Modules:
This module allows your droid to repair other people’s droids
(health and action wounds). It does not work in a repair chassis or a
power droid chassis.
Crafting Stations:
There are four types of crafting stations: Food/Chemical,
Armour/Clothing, Structure and Weapon/Droid/Generic. Multiple crafting
stations work in droids now. According to a post by ThunderHeart, the
mechanism rating of a droid crafting station correlates to the
functional rating of architect made crafting stations, however this is
up to some debate. They act as a private crafting station.
Modules/Armour Slots:
Each droid can hold a certain number of modules and has a
certain amount armour slots (see above). Detailed below is a listing of
all droid chassis followed by two numbers. The first number is the
number of modules each droid can hold. The second number is the number
of armour slots each droid has.

Any droid that has more abilities in it
then module slots has been made using an exploit.
Special Abilities:
Power droids:
These droids allow you to heal other droids mind wounds and
recharge other droids. Repair modules do NOT work with these droids.
Probots:
These droids have a damage of about 70-80 ranged. They are
currently the best attacking droid. The HAM on them ranges from 810 to
820, and they can have armour. The advanced model has room for two
module slots. This droids can attack.
DZ-70 Fugitive Tracker:
These are the second form of attack droid. They are very weak
compared to the probot and I do not suggest them to be used for anything
higher than Gnort level. The advanced version of this droid has armor
slots. This droid can attack. These droids are conisdered melee.
Surgical Droids:
A common misconception is these droids grant special bonuses
to healing. That is NOT the case. It is just the way it looks. These
droids work with the conversational interface. This allows them to use
personality chips. Storage and repair modules do not work in these
droids.
LE Repair Droids:
These droids do not have an innate repair ability, and in
fact repair modules do NOT work with them.
Protocol Droids:
The basic version of this droid does not have any function at
all. They do not have module slots so nothing can be added to them. The
chassis is used in the construction of shuttle ports for player cities.
There is only one colour for these droids, and that is gold.
Binary Load Lifters (BLL):
The basic version of the BLL can only be used as a walking
advertisement (billboard). The advanced version has been modified to
have 1 module slot.
Droid Chassis (Statues):
Not all droids currently have a chassis. Chassis' are
components used when making advanced models of droids, however they can
be dropped in a building to act as a decoration. The following droids
have chassis: R4, R3, R2, LE Repair, Protocol, Surgical, Binary Load
Lifter, and Probot. With merchant skills, you can get vendors that look
like some droids, and have a Power Droid and WED Treadwell vendor setup.
Protocol chassis' are used in making shuttle ports.
Naming
Droids:
Droids use a very restrictive name filter. This means that numbers,
among other characters cannot be used. To name your droid, you must
program four different commands in to the droid. Say we want to name our
droid "Bob", these are the steps that you would do:
Select program from the droids radial menu, and select stay. The droid
will respond with "?".
Type the following: "/tellpet Bob stay". The droid will respond with
"!".
Select program from the droids radial menu, and select store. The droid
will respond with "?".
Type the following: "/tellpet Bob store". The droid will respond with
"!".
Select program from the droids radial menu, and follow. The droid will
respond with "?".
Type the following: "/tellpet Bob follow". The droid will respond with
"!".
Select program from the droids radial menu, and group. The droid will
respond with "?".
Type the following: "/tellpet Bob group". The droid will respond with
"!".
At this point, the droids name will change.
Droid Storage Compartments:
These are sub-components which are used in the following:
Crafting stations as an optional component for hoppers
Droid Customization Kits
Vehicle Customization Kits
General Information:
You can store a maximum of five droids in your data pad.
Droids do not suffer from perma-death. Instead, a vitality system is
used when they are incapacitated. There is currently no way to heal
vitality of a droid.
There is no way to heal the white damage a droid takes in battle. This
damage repairs itself over time.
Mind wounds are healed by droid batteries OR by a power droid. When a
droid says it is low on power, these methods will recharge it. Storing
your droid no longer recharges it, as you must now use droid batteries
(which any artisan can make with engineering skills).
Health and action wounds are healed by a droid with a repair module in
it, or by droid repair module.
Do not dismiss or release your droid. It is gone for good then, and CSRs
will NOT replace it.
To send commands to your droid, use the /tellpet command.
A droid repair module will NOT allow you to repair your own droid. It is
only useful when you wish to repair another person’s droid.
Droids can be colourized now. Some older droids are still having
problems retaining their colour. A droid will require recustomization
when its customization fades (a message will be given saying your droids
customization has dropped, or gone completely). Customization does NOT
affect the performance of your droid.
Repair modules do not work in power droids or in repair droids.
Droid repair tools have been currently taken out of the game. They never
worked anyways. Another player with a repair module installed in their
droid is the ONLY way to heal health and action wounds.
