I just exchanged some CP's for a droid. How do I assign it orders and what not? I looked at the droid page and it didn't really explain anything for me. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
At the moment you can really only make them follow you by adding to your party ([Party] link on the right hand sidebar). Some NPCs allow you to enter a docked ship/vehicle when you are moving without aborting, but beyond this droids don't do anything.
so, whats the point of the pilot droids? lets say i have a pilot droid in a cap. ship and i jump my fighter i have docked in the cap. ship. are you saying that i can get the cap. ship on its way, then board my fighter and leave without it aborting its travel?
You can enter a docked ship without forcing the main ship to drop out of Hyper (maybe you want to install doors or locks or have 'quality time' with a 'passenger'), but ah don't believe you can ever undock while in Hyper
Well, some people will start travel in their ship then enter a docked ship/vehicle so they can move around NPCs/Droid/items or make locks. I think you used to be able to undock the ship and keep the other one moving, but that has since been removed - you cannot undock anything while the 'mothership' as it were is still moving.
