Droid Use Mechanics1. Droid Commands 2. Droid Naming
'Why should I own a droid?' once was a typical question that anyone would ask of a Droid Engineer. As the game has progressed, more and more people have realized how important the use of a droid really is. Droids now have an arm in everything from combat to structure maintenance, harvesting to healing, and crafting to storage. You can find a droid out on the battlefield or in the cantina assisting their owner with many different tasks. As JTL approaches, we are told that droids will have an important function in space and that at some point in time afterwards higher level combat droids will be rolling out as well.
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 "Ready Droid Deed" 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. You can train her to respond to various voice commands, name her or use its various functions.
Any player can have up to 5 droids stored in her datapad, but you may only call and use one droid at a time, this droid must then be stored before you can call another droid or pet.
Droids require power. There are two sources of power: batteries, and power droid. When a Droid is low on power, it will say, "*low power*" and will not function properly. To use a battery, have a battery, out of the crate, in your primary inventory. Select the radial menu, and click on RECHARGE. This will draw a single charge out of the droid battery (note that a droid battery can have more than one charge). Droid charge does not appear to stack. So, if you dump 20 batteries into a droid at once, it will not make that power last any longer than if you had just dumped one charge into the droid. A power droid can be used to power one other droid at a time - hence, if you own a power droid, you can only power someone else's droid, as you can only have one droid out at a time. Power droids can power multiple other droids before needing a recharge of their own. Different droids pull power at different speeds. Probots appear to eat power faster than R-series droids, for example
