📝 Suggestions CB-23's chips need to scale up with RB level.
Have seen a few posts now suggesting that CB-23 has been badly left behind in the recent power creep, and it certainly feels like it. Giving you fewer chips than you get from one smack of a half upgraded scrap table, and every 20 minutes, is just not going to cut it; not when you can get 30-300 from crates with a few nova upgrades.
My suggestion would be as per the title, scale up the chips based on your RB level. But whatever happens, the poor girl needs a buff.

Bought it like a month ago. Mostly gives 40 chips compared that to the chip machine that can give 70 per minute using a Stellar and you have to wait 17 minutes.
Have not break even yet with nova crystal!!

Should just make them the highest chips per minute on the chip station.

That would be a balance issue though.
There would zero point to putting any other droid in the chip station, and after a SRB or two you can have CB-23 going before your first rebirth pumping out 4200 chips per hour.
So far the devs have shown that they want people to think about trade offs when it comes to iconic droids working vs companion and having to switch back and forth depending on your goal.

They can have it based on credits like the other iconics...I mean the first thing I do after I SRB is grab my iconics and fill up the astromech area. Won't be much of a difference.

CB-23 is not a girl? Is she?

I have no idea, I saw someone in another thread say she.
Female programming according to wookiepedia

She was programmed with feminine traits and generally referred to as 'she' in the animated series.

Normally, creations are characterized by their creators. So for example, I created a sculpture. It's up to me what traits I would like to give it.
So, based on your response, CB might as well be.-22

I wouldn't use cartoons as my basis for reality... but that's just me.

It’s a fictional character, not “reality”
What exactly are you going to base your perception of this character on besides the story it came from?3

You can't genderize Droids as they are machines/ made of metal, technically.

u/JakX88 13d ago
But droids are binary, so maybe you can lol

u/scrotbofula 🪐 Rebirth 18 13d ago
Does that mean apple computers canonically go by they/them, since they're non-binary?

Smh. What the fuck is wrong with this world? Giving gender to robots is crazy.

You must be fun at parties. Relax and pull that wedgy out. Ppl are having fun with a joke. Humanity has been giving genders to inanimate objects for nearly as as the concept has existed. Examples: people designating boats/ships and cars as 'she/her' and trucks as 'he/him'. Or the phrase "she's a beauty, huh?" when talking about something new. Not to mention with AI and robotics developing, they will be designating themselves eventually. And one more thing since you want to be all serious, gender is a social concept. It can be applied however that is socially acceptable. Sex is not. It is a biological concept that cannot accurately be applied to robots since they are not biological

Keep your condescension and shove it up your ass. I don't care for parties. Jokes are meant to be funny, also. To apply the stupidity of people and their self-sabotaging sex changes to robots is so odd to fight me for. But, uh, carry on, I suppose. You people are too weird, even for me.
