Could check with Simon, see if he has any still kicking around. He was building droids for quite some time b4 the latest change.
I'll see what I can scare up for armor for ya. Mass not being an issue helps alot, since I can use the experimental points to focus on other aspects of the component, rather than mass reduction.
Trick with the mineral surveyer, or the express version of using a harvester already at work to check the area throughly, is to keep in mind that supplies of ANY concentration you find are LIMITED and subject to change periodically, usually every few days, as updates are carried out. For example, you might check today and find only 1 type of copper at your harvesters location, but check tomorrow and there may be 2 or 3. Similarly, types and variety vary from planet to planet. What you generally look for are types with fairly high #'s(1000 is the max) of various properties of the resource your looking for. These #'s are crutial for a crafter, as high #'s mean potentially high quality products when the resource is made use of. Natch, the properties needed vary, depending on the item to be crafted. Check with Simon and he can give you some links where you can find out where the highest concentrations of the currently available resources are located. I can never remember them.
Finding advertised venders is rather simple actually. Simply pull up your global map of the area your in and click on the venders option(same idea as finding the nearest shuttleport). Second click and you'll get the various themes of the venders, such as loot, resources, food, etc. Click again on the theme your looking for and you'll pull up all the venders globally that are selling under that particular theme. That's why I always suggest advertising globally, if your setting up a vender. Without it, FINDING a specific vender is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack.
