Scout Trap Projectile Unit Module Usage MechanicsDROID BASICS: First, you should know a few details about droids in general: Each player is allowed to hold 5 droids in his/her datapad. This includes your starter droid, so if you find he’s worn out his usefulness, you may want to delete him if you find you need more droid help down the road. The function of a droid is based upon what modules are installed in it. Modules are very similar to ship components. Each droid chassis has a set number of modules that can go in the droid. In general, the more advanced the droid, the more modules it can hold. The Advanced R3 has the highest module capacity with space for 6 functional modules. Whenever a droid is out (called), it uses up battery power. This ONLY affects the function of modules that actually need power to work. Even with 0% battery power, a droid can still be called & stored, and it will still follow you around. Both of the modules discussed below require the droid to have 10% or more battery power to be used.
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: 1) The droid stores the traps that it fires, which effectively increases your inventory size. 2) Creatures that are hit by a trap from a droid will often attack the droid. This can be handy in that the droid acts as a “tank” for you, distracting creatures while you polish them off. However, this can also be an annoying side effect. 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. 3) You can effectively trap creatures without taking up space in the combat queue. You can blast (or swing) away at creatures while your droid traps them at your command. [Thanks JascoSmlee for pointing this one out.] Note that the Scout still receives full trapping xp for successful trapping by the droid. Also note that the droid can only store and fire traps that the Scout has the skills to use himself/herself. Source References
