	Upon calling a trap droid for the first time, you should notice that it has a "Trap Projectile Controls" menu in its radial. The "Program Launch Trap" submenu allows you to select a verbal command that will tell your droid to harvest whatever you have targeted. Selecting it will cause a "?" to appear above your droid. This is your droid asking you what command you would like to use. I personally just use "t" but you can make it just about anything you want. If the command is stored successfully a "!" will appear above the droid.		Upon calling a trap droid for the first time, you should notice that it has a "Trap Projectile Controls" menu in its radial.

 This is a lesser-known (and lesser-used) module that can assist a Scout in gaining trapping experience. A droid with a Scout Trap Projectile Module (STPM) installed can be used to store Scout & Ranger traps and will fire them at a target on command. There are a couple of benefits to using this module:
-) The droid stores the traps that it fires. Loading traps into the droid works like with the stimpack dispensor droids. Each trap counts its stack size into the droid. Since traps come out in units of 5 uses per trap, the droid may store up to 12 individual traps.
+) The droid stores the traps that it fires. Loading traps into the droid works like with the stimpack dispensor droids. Each trap counts its stack size into the droid. Droid trap modules can support 10 traps per module for a total of 60 traps. Since traps come out in units of 5 uses per trap, the droid may store up to 12 individual trap stacks.
 ) Creatures that are hit by a trap from a droid will often attack the droid. If the droid has no combat rating, it will typically run away at high speed, requiring you to chase it down along with whatever critter is attacking it. If your droid gets killed, it must be stored and recalled later. Droids also take a long time to heal on their own.
