Droid Basics

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 Unit" 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. To call the droid out, use its radial option in the datapad by clicking Call option on the radial. To call a pet you must be in either a City, in the area of a building you own, or in a camp else there is a 15 second timer before the pet will be spawned from the datapad. Combat will cancel the calling process of a pet/vehicle. Droids can be stored back into the datapad so long as they are not in combat (either attacking or being attacked)or the owner of the droid is under a combat timer (60 seconds after performing last aggressive action or having been attacked). The droid can be stored back in the datapad either through its radial menu or through the datapad menu.


Once it is out You can train it to respond to various voice commands, name it 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.


What is a droid personality chip?

Personality chips are a component in certain droids and will change the way the droid responds to various things. Personality chips can be built into the following droids: Surgical, Protocol, LE Repair.
