SnipeAlott Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Haven't seen this asked yet, if I missed it I apologise. If u get/buy HK-51, will u get an additional companion to send out for crewskills, or will the max stay 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalfear Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Haven't seen this asked yet, if I missed it I apologise. If u get/buy HK-51, will u get an additional companion to send out for crewskills, or will the max stay 5? and to add to this Will we be able to put the droid crafting bonus parts on HK for crafting missions? I paid my million creds for my ship repair droid and then 100k extra for each characters protocol droid. Sure hope it doesnt end there and able to put the sensor units in for crew skill missions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMoomin Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 i guess you would be able to send him out but you will still be limited to concurrent missions. this is of course speculation as no info has been released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post AllisonBerryman Posted August 31, 2012 Dev Post Share Posted August 31, 2012 We asked Jason Attard (Senior Game Balance Designer) whether HK-51 would give players an additional Crew Skills deployment. He said that right now we plan on keeping the maximum deployed at 5. Regarding his bonuses, he'll have a small efficiency bonus to all Mission Skills and a small critical bonus to all Crafting Skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anysao Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Oh ok, that makes sense. Does better on ALL missions and crafting, but still caps at 5. Sounds like he is replacing the ship droids. Thanks for the response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTHC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm far more interested in the credit sink/cost to get him and whether he'll be legacy-wide or I have to spend the credits and grind the quests for each character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgintius Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hey, who doesn't love returning to their ship to find out their Hyperdrive has been cleaned and now opperates .00000324455% better. (numbers not quoted) Do you really want the droid who thinks all organic life needs to be exterminated working on your Hyperdrive or ships weapon systems? How's this for your next space battle: Laser aren't working, proton torpedos not launching and detonating in the tube, and the hyperdrive clucks out so you can't fly away! All the while the voice of HK-51 laughing over the intercome. I'm still waiting for Scorpio to no longer have a use for me and stab me or crush my skull when I talk to her next. I can only emagine the fun HK would have. Instead of having a permanent 'home' on your ship, how about he randomly jumps out from around corners wielding a vibroknife? That would be fun! Oh, let me just run up to the bridge real quick and shoot over to Ilum. (Break the door threshhold) Out pops HK swinging a blade. Good times! BTW (BioWare) WHEN AM I GETTING MY HK-51!!!!! You've been teasing us with him for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthVengeant Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have read that you will need a Republic and Empire character to get him. I have NO care for playing any Republic good guys. So. essentially I am being forced to play hours and hours and hours of something I do not want to play at ALL in order to earn something. Wow....talk about ruining the fun of this game. As if doing dailies and FP's over and over and over and over again once you hit 50 wasn't boring enough.... Sounds like the people at Bioware enjoy being bored and making others be bored. Plus, running out of ideas to make the game FUN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InnerPieces Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 We asked Jason Attard (Senior Game Balance Designer) whether HK-51 would give players an additional Crew Skills deployment. He said that right now we plan on keeping the maximum deployed at 5. Regarding his bonuses, he'll have a small efficiency bonus to all Mission Skills and a small critical bonus to all Crafting Skills. So... what exactly is the point of HK-51? Every class already has a character that can fill every necessary role. Is HK-51 just fluff then or does he provide some actual in-game benefit? No one seems to want to answer this whenever I ask it. Yes, I do see the marginal bonus to "all" crafting. Is there anything else? Just to head you off at the pass, I'm not hating. I'm asking. There is nothing cool about fluff that (nearly) everyone has. That's why I'm curious about some kind of substantial (as in, worth the effort) benefit for acquiring it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I thought you were saying I implied it was out. My bad. No, it's not out yet. (I still have a hard time referring to droids as having gender... despite how they look.) I admit. I didn't even read the OP. I just read the response in the dev tracker and my old, unanswered question sprang back to mind. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
