What does droid XXX do?
Aside from the Power Droid, which can recharge other droids, no droids currently have any inherent functions. All functionality is provided by adding accessory modules (medical, storage, data, crafting stations, repair). The droids differ in the number of modules they can hold and in their varying abilities to hold armor. Some advanced droids that use an advanced motive system can navigate terrain better than their less advanced counterparts.
I've just bought a droid, what do I do now?
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.
How many droids can I own at one time?
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
In this section, I will go over the basic droid commands, how to program a droid, and how tos and what nots of different droid modules.

Most of the commands explain themselves, but I'll run through some of the commands with you.
- Follow Other - Targeted command that makes your
droid follow the designated target as long as they do not take a shuttle
or log out of client. Once used by many Master Droid Engineers as a
form of CH griefing.
- Befriend- Allows the target to issue limited commands
to the droid.
- Get in Column/Wedge Formation - Not very useful, due to
only CHs are able to call multiple pets/droids/perks. Can be issued so
that the Droid does not 'sit' on top of your toon.
- Get Patrol Point - Allows a droid to store up to 10
patrol points, but only while the droid is present. If the droid is
stored, you will need to re-program the patrol points. Patrol points
can be up to 50 meters apart.
- Clear Patrol Points - Clears all stored patrol points
on a droid.
- Guard - Causes combat capable droids to guard a specific
target, including yourself.
- Use Ranged Attack - Toggles Ranged attack ON in some
droid units.

Battery Lifespan
With publish 11.2 droid battery lifetime was expanded from 1 hour to 4 hours. Using certain modules reduced the battery life time by one half per use.
Droid Models:
Below the various types of droids are listed. Clicking on these will show more detailed information about each type of droid including the accessories and component functions available for use in each model.
Droid Module Functions
Below are the various types of modules for droids with relevant information as to their functions and usage.
