Droid Standard Module Experimentation Mechanics

Droid Module Definitions

1. Droid Service Module Harness'

This is the term used for any droid module including Storage, Crafting Stations, Effects Modules, etc. Droid Combat Modules can not be installed in this slot.

2. Droid Defensive Module Harness

This is the term used for the level based Droid Armor Module

3. Combat Capable Service Modules

This is the term used for the Droid Service Module Harness slots in a combat rated droid. This slot indicates that a Droid Combat Module can be installed

4. Combat-Capable Socket Cluster

The Combat-Capable Socket Cluster can accept any of the Droid Service Module Harnesses, including the Droid Combat Module. Up to 3 modules can be placed into the Cluster and can only be installed in the Adv R3, Basic R3, Adv R2, Basic R2, Adv Probot, Basic Probot, and Adv LE.

5. General Droid Module Socket Cluster

The General Droid Module Socket Cluster can accept any of the Droid Service Module Harnesses, excluding the Droid Combat Module. Up to 3 modules can be placed into the cluster and can only be installed in the Adv BLL and Adv Surgical Droids.

Items Affected

1. Droid Repair Module
2. Effects Module (Avian)
3. Effects Module (Confetti)
4. Effects Module (Dancing Jawa)
5. Effects Module (Electric Fog)
6. Effects Module (Foam)
7. Effects Module (Mind Bloom)
8. Merchant Module
9. Playback Module

Each of these modules has two lines of experimentation,

Experimental Lines

1. Experimental Durability
2. Experimental Effectiveness

Mechanism Quality is in the Experimental Effectiveness line. Experimentation on either line does not appear to effect any of the modules in this list, since the only attribute that is affected is the Mechanism Quality.

Personally, I tend to avoid experimenting on hand crafted components and use the above mentioned 3 step macro to craft a few parts. When I create factory runs on these modules, I will experiment on the part until it has a Mechanism Quality rating of 0 or slightly higher. I suggest that you use Bulk resources when producing all components

General Attributes

This attributes are present on all of these items.

Variation Of:

This attribute spawns on any item that has had its base type name changed. For player crafted items this type change occurs when the player renames the item from the default given one. The name change can occur automatically as the player chooses a particular style for the item during the customization process or by manually renaming the item in the name field. After changing the name the item now indicates that it is a variation of the specific type that it originated as.

For more information about the Variation Of attribute, see General Item Mechanics

Volumn:

Represents the current container contents of the Item.

For more information about volumn counts, see Inventory Mechanics

Object Creator:

This attribute appears only on crafted items or looted components. The crafter's name is listed here.

See General Item Mechanics, Using Schematics and General Crafting Mechanics for more information about Serial numbers

Mechanism Quality:

Attribute that appears on many droid components. This is believed to have no effect on droid stats or other functions.

See Droid Engineer for more information.
