Radial MenusDroid BasicsWhat 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 PetsOnce 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 "Ready Droid Unit" from the radial menu, then it will appear in your datapad as a 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 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 PetsA 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 radial menu, through the 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
The Incapacitation Recovery ability is activated through the datapad radial option on the summoned pet's radial menu. 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.
Transferring DroidsDroids can be transferred to other players through trading. Players may trade droids to other players so long as the player has 1 available space in their datapad allotment for droids. Players can store up to 5 droids. General Notes:
