Droid Data Module Usage Mechanics

The Droid Data Module is accessible from the Options menu. Simply select the Datapad option from the radial menu and it will open up your droid's Data Storage Module. You can only place Factory Schematics and Droid Command Programs in the Data Module. See Section 5 on how to use the JtL Pilot content.

Pilots can use a Flight Computer or an R-series droid with a Data Module installed in a ship that is equipped with a Droid Interface device, which is a Shipwright crafted item. The level of the Flight Computer or Data Module, installed in an R-series droid, must be equal to or lower then the Pilot's Astromech Certification.

Flight Computers & Astromechs

Currently Astromechs are only usable in the X-Wing, both Y-Wing configurations, and the Z95. Flight Computers are used in all other ships. Each Flight Computer/Astromech has a Data Capacity that is based upon the Level. Flight Computers, just like droids, are stored in the datapad once initialized. The following chart lists the storage capacity of each level.

Astromech            Data         
   Level           Capacity
|      1        |       20    |
|      2        |       40    |
|      3        |       70    |
|      4        |       110   |
|      5        |       125   |
|      6        |       150   |

Managing Programs

In order to add Droid Command Programs to you Droid, or Flight Computer, you must first transfer the Program to an Unprogrammed Droid Command Module. These are one time use items that can be purchased from a Droid Engineer. To copy a program, simply use the Command Module radial menu. The Program option will open up a window that allows you to choose one of the programs that you know. Once the program has been copied to the Command Module, the name of the Module will change to Ready Chip: XXX, where XXX is the name of the program that you copied. Once a program is copied, a Pilot can either trade the program to someone else, or use the program themselves. Using the radial, you can transfer the program to your datapad. Once the program is transfer to the datapad, the Program chip is expended.

From the datapad, you will want to move the Droid Program to the Droid or Flight Computer that you will be using in your ship. If you are using a Flight Computer, you can open it from the radial menu in the datapad. If you are using a Droid, you will need to call the droid, open the data storage, and transfer program into the droid. Once a program is added to a Droid or Flight Computer, you can not remove it, without destroying the program.

Each Program has a Program Size that is based on the following scale.
