Droid Deed Experimentation Mechanics

Items Affected

Combat Rated Droids come with the innate ability to engage in combat and do not attempt to disengage from pursuers. They will only do 1 point of damage however unless an combat module is added into them. Combat Rated droids are droids that are allowed to include combat modules, but do not come with innate combat features. They must obtain combat modules to gain the basic combat commands and their abilities. Non Combat Droids are droids that may not receive combat modules.

Experimentation Lines

Droid Deeds have three lines of experimentation -

1. Experimental Durability
2. Experimental Effectiveness
3. Experimental Quality

Both Durability and Quality require 50% SR and 50% UT. Effectiveness requires 100% OQ and appears to be the only experimentation value that will affect a droid. Effectiveness Experimentation is linked to the HAM value of all droids and the To Hit and Attack Speed on combat Droids.. The above list is broken down into two separate groups - Combat and non-Combat rated droids. It is recommended that you use the highest OQ resources when building any of the Combat rated droids. Non-Combat droids have a very small difference between 0% and 100% Effectiveness, so it is suggested that you only use high OQ materials where requested, or if you have a high abundance of materials.

Experimental Effectiveness controls the Health, Action, and Mind attributes for Droid Deeds. By association, To Hit and Attack Speed attributes are affected by the resulting values from HAM. Yhese attributes do not show up unless the droid is being reviewed in the datapad of the owner. Deeds only display the basic HAM attributes and module statistics with the exception of armor modules.

Item Attributes Affected

Health:

Attribute appears during the droid deed crafting process and on the final droid deed item. All HAM attributes will experiment to the same amount, meaning All three ham bars will be equal in value from the experimentation process. This attribute's value is increased through the experimentation process.

See Droid Models for more information about min and max HAM available to player crafted droids.

Action:

Attribute appears during the droid deed crafting process and on the final droid deed item. All HAM attributes will experiment to the same amount, meaning All three ham bars will be equal in value from the experimentation process. This attribute's value is increased through the experimentation process.

See Droid Models for more information about min and max HAM available to player crafted droids.

Mind:

Attribute appears during the droid deed crafting process and on the final droid deed item. All HAM attributes will experiment to the same amount, meaning All three ham bars will be equal in value from the experimentation process. This attribute's value is increased through the experimentation process.

See Droid Models for more information about min and max HAM available to player crafted droids.

Attack Speed:

The Attack Speed attribute is found on the Droid when viewed in the datapad. This attribute is passed on from the crafting process as the droid deed is being created. The value is linked to the droid's HAM values that result from experimentation on Experimental Effectiveness line. The attack speed attribute reflects the duration of time that will pass between attacks by the droid.

The following, put together by Ayno, is an example of how you can determine the To Hit and Attack Speed, based on a droids HAM rating.

• E = the Experimental Effectiveness as a decimal (i.e. 73% = 0.73)
• S = Attack Speed
• T = To Hit
• H = HAM value

Astromech Droids S = 2 - {1 - [(4500 - H)/1125]}/2 T = 0.33 + 0.08*{1 - [(4500 - H)/1125]}

DZ70 and Probot S = 1 - {1 - [(3200 - H)/800]}/4 T = 0.33 + 0.08*{1 - [(3200 - H)/800]}

LE Repair Droid S = 2 - {1 - [(6000 - H)/1500]}/2 T = 0.33 + 0.08*{1 - [(6000 - H)/1500]}

To Hit:

The To Hit attribute is found on the Droid when viewed in the datapad. This attribute is passed on from the crafting process as the droid deed is being created. The value is linked to the droid's HAM values that result from experimentation on Experimental Effectiveness line. The To Hit attribute reflects the droids base chance to hit a target it is attacking.
