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. Calling Pets 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. A player cannot call a pet out while in combat. Entering Combat (attacking or being attacked) will cancel the calling process of a pet/vehicle if the player has issued a call request. Storing Pets A player cannot store a pet out while they themself are in combat. Pets can be stored back into the datapad so long as they are not in combat (30 seconds after it performs its last aggressive action). The pet can be stored back in the datapad either through its radial menu or through the datapad menu. Upon incapacitation, Pets will automatically store after a 4 minutes if they are not revived medically. Unstored pets will not remain in the world after their owner has logged out for longer than 2 minutes, and current health info. etc. will properly be saved. 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. Source References Source Source in Context
