Droid Model Mechanics

There are currently 13 different types of droids in the game. Seeker Droids, Arakyd Probe Droids, and Interplanetary Survey Droids are multi-use items. All of the standard 13 different types of droids are broken down into your basic model and your Advanced model. Each droid model has a certain number of droid modules that can be installed. The following is a list of each droid model. The listing includes the basic and Advanced number of modules that can be installed, the number of armor modules that can be installed - if any - and whether or not the model can except a Personality Chip. The maximum HAM value is listed for all combat droids.

The Advanced BLL has room for 3 non-combat modules and up to 3 armor modules. The Basic BLL only has room for 1 armor module and 0 non-combat modules, at this time.

Droid Model Attributes (Stored In Datapad)

Difficulty Level: ( Screenshot )

Attribute appears on all pets and indicates the current challenge level of the pet.


For more information about challenge levels see General Creatures, Pets and Mounts


Vitality: ( Screenshot )

Attribute appears on all pets and indicates the current vitality level of the pet out of a maximum possible range of 100. As a pet loses vitality, it's maximum HAM ranges will shrink accordingly.

For more information about vitality loss and effects See Droid Vitality Healing


Health: ( Screenshot )

Attribute appears on all pets and indicates the current remaining health of the creature. Health is calculated during the deed crafting process of the droid.

For more information about droid deed construction, see Droid Deeds


Action: ( Screenshot )

Attribute appears on all pets and indicates the current remaining action of the creature. Action is calculated during the deed crafting process of the droid.

For more information about droid deed construction, see Droid Deeds


Mind: ( Screenshot )

Attribute appears on all pets and indicates the current remaining health of the creature. Mind is calculated during the deed crafting process of the droid.

For more information about droid deed construction, see Droid Deeds


Attack Speed: ( Screenshot )

Attribute appears on all combat rated and combat capable droids.


The Attack Speed attribute is found on the Droid when viewed in the datapad. This attribute is passed on from the crafting process as the droid deed is being created. The value is linked to the droid's HAM values that result from experimentation on Experimental Effectiveness line during the Deed Crafting process. The attack speed attribute reflects the duration of time that will pass between attacks by the droid.


The following, put together by Ayno, is an example of how you can determine the To Hit and Attack Speed, based on a droids HAM rating.

  • E = the Experimental Effectiveness as a decimal (i.e. 73% = 0.73)
  • S = Attack Speed
  • T = To Hit
  • H = HAM value

Astromech Droids
S = 2 - {1 - [(4500 - H)/1125]}/2
T = 0.33 + 0.08*{1 - [(4500 - H)/1125]}

DZ70 and Probot
S = 1 - {1 - [(3200 - H)/800]}/4
T = 0.33 + 0.08*{1 - [(3200 - H)/800]}

LE Repair Droid
S = 2 - {1 - [(6000 - H)/1500]}/2
T = 0.33 + 0.08*{1 - [(6000 - H)/1500]}


For more information about droid deed construction, see Droid Deeds


To Hit: ( Screenshot )

Attribute appears on all combat rated and combat capable droids.


The To Hit attribute is found on the Droid when viewed in the datapad. This attribute is passed on from the crafting process as the droid deed is being created. The value is linked to the droid's HAM values that result from experimentation on Experimental Effectiveness line. The To Hit attribute reflects the droids base chance to hit a target it is attacking.

For more information about droid deed construction, see Droid Deeds

Do Trick One: (default command to power droids)

This atribute appears only on power droids and is one of the default commands granted. Using this command will notifiy the droid to give a recharge to the designated target droid. Not sure what the default command for this is but it could be "play"

See Droid Commands for more information.

For more information about droid power consumption see Droid Power Usage, Droid Commands.


Do Trick Two: (default command to repair and auto-repair droids)

This attribute appears on any droid that is equipped with a Repair module or Auto Repair module. Note that during pre-cu this seemed to cause a conflict in that a player that equipped both an auto-repair module and a repair module could not use the droid due to a conflict in programming since both modules activated off the same command. Perhaps we should add an additional trick for droids such as Do Trick Three or Do Trick Four. Not sure what the default command for this is but it could be "play"

Droid Model Attributes (Called)

Type:


This attribute appears on droids and pets that have been given a special name by the owner through the use of command training or by having been randomly assigned a name by the system; ex. Joe Blow (a rebel Gunner). This works similar to how the Variation Of attribute works in that if the original name of the object or pet is changed then this attribute is assigned to display the base originating form. For example an R2 unit that has been named "Clicky" would display "Type: an R2 Unit" upon examination by the owner or by another player.


Armor Rating: ( Screenshot )
