Droid Commands are abilities loaded into an astromech droid or flight computer, that are then run on your ship when in space to modify performance or shift energy to/between shields. Each level of droid/computer has a different capacity which is occupied by a droid chip when loaded.
Common Loadouts(WIP)
Leveling:
1- Capacitor Overcharge II, Capacitor to Shield Shunt II
2- Weapon Overload II, Capacitor Overcharge II, Capacitor to Shield Shunt II
3- Reactor Overload X, Weapon Overload III, Capacitor Overcharge III, Capacitor to Shield Shunt III
4- Reactor Overload IV, Engine Overload II, Weapon Overload IV, Capacitor Overcharge IV, Capacitor to Shield Shunt IV
5- Reactor Overload IV, Engine Overload IV, Weapon Overload IV, Capacitor Overcharge IV, Capacitor to Shield Shunt IV
PvE:
Superiority Fighter Duty Runner(6) - Reactor Overload III/IV, Engine Overload IV, Weapon Overload IV, Capacitor Overcharge IV, Capacitor to Shield Shunt III/IV, Shield Adjust Front Moderate, Shield Reinforcement Front Moderate, Shield Reinforcement Back Moderate, Kessel/Deepspace Chip
Piracy POB/Gunship(6)- Reactor Overload III/IV, Engine Overload III/IV, Weapon Overload III/IV, Capacitor Overcharge IV, Capacitor to Shield Shunt IV, Shield Rear Adjust Heavy, Shield Rear Reinforcement Light/Moderate
PvP:
(6)- Reactor Overload III/IV, Engine Overload IV, Weapon Overload IV, Capacitor Overcharge IV, Capacitor to Shield Shunt III/IV, Shield Front Adjust Heavy/Extreme, Shield Front Reinforcement Light/Moderate
Droid Interface Speed
The lower the droid interface's speed is, the faster you can use your commands, but mass is
much more important. Most commands have a 'delay' value of 0.1-0.25. The droid command cooldown is:
Droid Command Cooldown = Droid Interface Speed * delay
The only exception to this is Capacitor to Shield Shunt, which has a delay of 1.0. This is counterbalanced by the fact that most players capacitors will not have recharged suitably fast to usefully shunt again, even with a 20 speed droid interface.
Astromech Droid/Flight Computer Capacity
| Astromech/Flight Computer Level | Pilot Box | Capacity |
|---|
| 1 | 1 | 20 |
| 2 | 5 | 40 |
| 3 | 9 | 70 |
| 4 | 13 | 110 |
| 5 | 17 | 125 |
| 6 | 18 | 150 |
Programmed chip capacity usage
Normalization, Mute Droid, and Hyperspace chips take 1 storage
Command Level I/Light chips take 5 storage
Command Level II/Moderate chips take 10 storage
Command Level III/Heavy chips take 19/20 storage
Command Level IV/Extreme chips take 24/25 storage
Blank droid command chips are crafted by droid engineers, but then programmed by pilots with each faction getting access to a subset of commands that they can program freely without the use of chips(all factions have access to mute/unmute flight droid):
Imperial: Engine Tuning, Engine Overload, Weapon Tuning, Weapon Overload
Freelance: Reactor Overload, Weapon Capacitor Overcharge, Capacitor to Shield Shunt
Rebel:

Special Commands
Shield Emergency Front/Rear - these special chips take 35 capacity. Shunts 75% of capacitor and front/rear shield to the specified front/rear shield
Mute/Unmute Flight Droid - toggles commchatter from droid(resets to unmuted after every hyperspace to another system)
Rebel/Imperial/Freelancer Hyperspace algorithm - allows hyperspacing to Kessel or Deep Space directly
