== Droid Basics ==

'''What does droid XXX do?'''

Aside from the Power Droid, which can recharge other droids, no droids currently have any inherent functions. All functionality is provided by adding accessory modules (medical, storage, data, crafting stations, repair). The droids differ in the number of modules they can hold and in their varying abilities to hold armor. Some advanced droids that use an advanced motive system can navigate terrain better than their less advanced counterparts.

=='''Calling Pets'''==

Once you've bought the droid and collected it you should find a droid deed in your inventory. If you doubleclick on this or select it and pick [[media:TamingDroid.jpg|"Ready Droid Unit"]] from the radial menu, then it will appear in your datapad as a [[media:DroidUntrained.jpg|Droid Control Device]]. It is now very much like owning a pet. To call the droid out, use its radial option in the datapad by [[media:ProgramDroid(flightCommands).jpg|clicking Call option]] on the radial or you may optionally add the pet to the hotbar (like vehicles) and can summon by pressing its icon there. * You have to go outside to call a pet if you are in a city. (Outside of town you must be in a camp, near your declared-residence, or in a building). There is a 15 second timer before the pet will be spawned from the datapad. A player cannot call a pet out while in combat (being in the combat stay even if not attacking, being attacked or attacking a target). Entering Combat (attacking or being attacked) will cancel the calling process of a pet/vehicle if the player has issued a call request. A player will not be able to call a vehicle/mount/pet/droid during combat for 30 seconds after combat is concluded. Players will not be able to call a pet, mount, or vehicle while riding a vehicle or mount. Non creature handlers may only call and use one droid at a time and this droid must then be stored before you can call another droid, vehicle or pet. Creature Handlers may call up to 3 pets total which include a droid, a faction npc, and a creature pet or a vehicle. Only the creature pets summoned will count against the creature handler's level 70 combined creature level cap.

=='''Storing Pets'''==

A player cannot store a pet out while they themself are in combat. Pets can be stored back into the datapad so long as they are not in combat (being attacked or attacking). Additionally a 30 second timer is applied after it performs its last aggressive action (or having been attacked) before it may be stored. The pet can be stored back in the datapad either through its [[media:DroidCalledOptions2.jpg|radial menu]], through the [[media:DroidDatapadOptions1.jpg|datapad menu]] or by pressing its cooresponding icon on the hotbar after you drag and drop it onto the hotbar from the datapad. Pets will auto store when the owner uses a shuttle to travel. Upon incapacitation, Pets will automatically store after a 4 minutes if they are not revived medically. Unstored pets will not remain in the world after their owner has logged out for longer than 2 minutes, and current health info. etc. will properly be saved.

=='''How many droids can I own at one time?'''==

Any player can have up to 5 droids stored in the datapad.

=='''Incapacitation Recovery'''==
<br><br>

The Incapacitation Recovery ability is activated through the datapad radial option on the pet control device. Its job is to revive the pet after it becomes incapacitated. Recapacitation for pets is set to a forced 2 minute wait for the pet to come back to life, even if its health has regenerated. Due to this rule, Incapacitation Recovery can only be applied to the pet after two minutes. Using this ability probably gives the pet back 1 health point to its affected pools should they have not fully regenerated beyond 0 by the time the 2 minute timer is up.

=='''General Notes:'''==

* Pets regenerate HAM damage in the datapad, even when stored from the radial menu.
* Pets current wound/damage will be save even when the pet is auto-stored.
* Pet control devices will not be deleted unless the user selects the DESTROY option.
* Pets will never be "death-blowed", but instead will suffer a reduction in max Health, Action and Mind in cases where they would have been death-blowed.
* Pet stats reduced due to vitality follow this formula:
** 75 to 100 = no stat reduction
** 50 to 75 = 25% stat reduction
** 25 to 50 = 50% stat reduction
** 1 - 25 = 75% stat reduction
* Pet stats will never be reduced more than 75% due to vitality loss.
* Pets will never permanently die due to stat reduction.
* Droid pets will suffer vitality loss the same as CH pets do (instead of permanent death).
* Pets will not switch targets in combat unless commanded to attack something else.
* Pets will switch targets in combat when commanded to attack something else.
* Droids allow a person to drag an item on top of their pet droid to store an item in it. (assuming that the droid has a storage module, of course).
* Pets will be able to follow their masters into buildings/caves
* Pets are not considered by /boostmorale ability from squad leaders.
* Pets can't fight while swimming.
* Droids are not susceptible to poisons, bleeds, /warcry or /intimidate
* Anyone can use a droid customization kit on a droid pet (although experienced droid engineers will have more customization options available). The droid owner must give permission to the player before they can use a customization kit on it.
* Vitality is not lost from PvP deaths
* Fixed pets failure to respond to commands prefixed with the name of the pet. Previously in order to respond to "bob follow", the pet had to be taught "bob follow". Now a pet named "bob" can be trained to follow when he hears "follow", and then he will obey either "bob follow" or "follow".
* Droids and pets can not be made leaders or master looters

−
−	~~1. What is "vitality"?~~
−
−	All creature pets have a stat on them called "vitality." You can see this by examining their info in the datapad; a new pet will have 100/100. When a pet is incapacitated, it may receive a deathblow (depending on what you are fighting) - when it does, it will lose 2 points of vitality. So, for instance, the first death a pet suffers will change the vitality reading to 98/100, then 96/100, and so forth.
−
−	~~Why is this important?~~
−
−	When the vitality reaches 75, the pet will suffer a reduction of 25% of its max HAM, leaving it with 75% of its regular life. At 50, a 50% reduction is applied, and at 25, a 75% reduction is applied. A creature pet cannot be permanently slain and can survive with 0 vitality; however, a pet with 25% of its standard HAM is generally far from formidable (i.e. on a 10K creature, it would have 2.5K).
−
−
−
−	~~2. What is a vitality pack?~~
−
−	Vitality packs are made by Bio-Engineers, in the tissues tree. There are three types of vitality packs - A, B, and C. The power ranges from low (A) to high (C), although there is some overlap. The power has a direct influence on their restorative powers.
−
−
−
−	~~3. How do I use a vitality pack?~~
−
−	There are two ways to do this: activating the "Use Vitality Pack" option by selecting your pet in the datapad, and by targeting your called pet and double-clicking the vitality pack in your inventory. Both methods work; however, if you have multiple vitality packs of varying strengths in your inventory, you should probably use the second method (or the game will choose for you).
−
−
−
−	~~4. What do vitality packs do?~~
−
−	The only purpose of a vitality pack is to restore lost vitality, though some vitality will be permanently lost as a result. Depending on how much vitality your pet has lost and the strength of the vitality pack you are using, you may see anywhere from 1 to 20 points of permanent vitality lost. For example, letâ€™s say your pet is at 92/100 vitality - you purchase and apply a 13+ vitality pack A. Your pet should then have 99/99 vitality, a gain of 7 vitality - but also a permanent loss of 1 overall vitality.
−
−
−
−	~~5. How do vitality packs work?~~
−
−	There are a number of common misconceptions about vitality packs, such as "you will only lose 1 point as long as the packâ€™s strength is the same or higher than the current vitality lost," "1 point of permanent loss per 10 points of current vitality loss," and "if you use a strong enough vitality pack you can avoid any permanent loss."
−
−	I do not have an equation for you (although if anyone can work one out from my data, let me know and I will add it), but what I can provide for you is a guideline for minimizing permanent vitality loss for common ranges.
−
−
−
−	~~6. So what type of vitality pack should I use, and when?~~
−
−	Overall, the most efficient means is to use vitality packs sparingly, and to use the most powerful range you can afford or find. You may or may not have an easy time acquiring the more advanced vitality packs - your best bet is to contact some of the more active bio-engineers on your server. Many do not stock the higher end vitality packs. The lower end of these ranges is fairly easily obtainable with mediocre components (~40-60% experimentation).
−
−	Here are the optimal ranges I have found for A, B, and C packs; this information is not guaranteed to be accurate, although I have yet to produce a contradiction. If you find one, I would like to hear about it.
−
−
−
−	~~13-38pt Vitality Pack (A or a low quality B):~~
−
−	Up to 8 lost vitality points restored with minimal loss*
−
−	~~50-70pt Vitality Pack (mid to high B or a low-mid quality C):~~
−
−	Up to 18 lost vitality points restored with minimal loss*
−
−	~~75-100pt Vitality Pack (mid to high C):~~
−
−	Up to 28 lost vitality points restored with minimal loss*
−
−	The max ranges listed above are the most you can heal with that type of vitpack before you begin losing 2 or 3 vitality (or more). So, for instance, if you use a vitpack C at 72/100 vitality, your pet should have 99/99 afterward. However, at 70/100 (30 loss), the vitpack will only restore it to 98/98. It is also important to note that there is no noticeable difference in loss over these ranges - a 13pt A will be just as effective as a 38pt A in this range.*
−
−	**I do not have the resources to produce beyond a 65pt B or 92pt C, so the 70 and 100 maximum ranges are speculative. It is possible (though unlikely) that they may have a slight increase over the listed range.
−
−
−
−	~~7. General Q&A~~
−
−	~~Q: Does the type of vitality pack matter?~~
−
−	A: No, it does not - a 38 strength B will restore the same amount as a 38 strength A. However, each type of pack has a limit to how high (and low) it can go in strength. For instance, a top-notch vitality pack A maxes out at around 38 strength, while a mediocre B can be 45-50 or more.
−
−
−
−	~~Q: Does the power really matter?~~
−
−	A: Yes! You may not have an improvement if you are using them under certain circumstances, such as 8 or less missing vitality, but stronger vitality packs are generally better. See the section above or the raw data for more info.
−
−
−
−	~~Q: Does it matter what type of pet I am using it on?~~
−
−	~~A: No, I tested several points with full-grown CL30+ pets versus baby jax and anglers, and had identical results.~~
−
−
−
−	~~Q: Will my pet lose more vitality if his max is lower (i.e. 82/90)?~~
−
−	~~A: No, the only important factors are the current amount lost, and the strength of the pack you are intending to use. See the raw data for more info on this.~~
−
−
−
−	~~Q: What happens when I use a vitality pack that is lower than my petâ€™s current lost vitality?~~
−
−	~~A: Your pet will be fully restored to a new permanent vitality, but the penalty for this tends to be quite high (up to ~20 pts). See the raw data for some examples.~~
−
−
−
−	~~Q: My pet lost 50 vitality. Can I use two vitality packs, one after the other, to heal him?~~
−
−	~~A: No. The first pack you use will do the job, even if the pack is not strong enough, but you will suffer additional vitality loss.~~
−
−
−
−
−	~~Q: Can I use a vitality pack on a droid?~~
−
−	A: Apparently, you can do this, due to the fact that droids have a vitality stat now as well. I have not personally tried this, but I have been told that it works. Same rules should apply to droids as they do to creatures.
−
−
−
−	~~Q: Can I use a vitality pack more than once?~~
−
−	~~A: No, all vitality packs are one use only.~~
−
−
−
−
−
−	~~Q: Can you use advanced liquid suspension (ALS) and biological effect controllers (ABEC)? Do they make my vitality packs stronger?~~
−
−	A: ALS and ABEC will work, but they currently offer no advantage. This is because the LS and BEC components have no effect on the strength of vitality packs; they are only required as components. This provides you with the option of making vitality packs more cheaply by using regular components; however, it may be changed at a later point.

-=='''Incapacitation Recovery'''==
-<br><br>
-−
-The Incapacitation Recovery ability is activated through the datapad radial option on the pet control device. Its job is to revive the pet after it becomes incapacitated. Recapacitation for pets is set to a forced 2 minute wait for the pet to come back to life, even if its health has regenerated. Due to this rule, Incapacitation Recovery can only be applied to the pet after two minutes. Using this ability probably gives the pet back 1 health point to its affected pools should they have not fully regenerated beyond 0 by the time the 2 minute timer is up.

-=='''General Notes:'''==
-−
-* Pets regenerate HAM damage in the datapad, even when stored from the radial menu.
-* Pets current wound/damage will be save even when the pet is auto-stored.
-* Pet control devices will not be deleted unless the user selects the DESTROY option.
-* Pets will never be "death-blowed", but instead will suffer a reduction in max Health, Action and Mind in cases where they would have been death-blowed.
-* Pet stats reduced due to vitality follow this formula:
-** 75 to 100 = no stat reduction
-** 50 to 75 = 25% stat reduction
-** 25 to 50 = 50% stat reduction
-** 1 - 25 = 75% stat reduction
-* Pet stats will never be reduced more than 75% due to vitality loss.
-* Pets will never permanently die due to stat reduction.
-* Droid pets will suffer vitality loss the same as CH pets do (instead of permanent death).
-* Pets will not switch targets in combat unless commanded to attack something else.
-* Pets will switch targets in combat when commanded to attack something else.
-* Droids allow a person to drag an item on top of their pet droid to store an item in it. (assuming that the droid has a storage module, of course).
-* Pets will be able to follow their masters into buildings/caves
-* Pets are not considered by /boostmorale ability from squad leaders.
-* Pets can't fight while swimming.
-* Droids are not susceptible to poisons, bleeds, /warcry or /intimidate
-* Anyone can use a droid customization kit on a droid pet (although experienced droid engineers will have more customization options available). The droid owner must give permission to the player before they can use a customization kit on it.
-* Vitality is not lost from PvP deaths
-* Fixed pets failure to respond to commands prefixed with the name of the pet. Previously in order to respond to "bob follow", the pet had to be taught "bob follow". Now a pet named "bob" can be trained to follow when he hears "follow", and then he will obey either "bob follow" or "follow".
-* Droids and pets can not be made leaders or master looters
