Project Kathun: Reworked - Droid buff

Description
An addon for Project Kathun: Reworked that buffs battle droid races, droid armour modules, the starting stats of battle droid NPCs, and a few other things.

After watching the Rogue Droid Legion get completely trounced by all the factions around them for too long, I decided to make a very quick edit to buff the battle droids (I'm biased).

This addon has:
  • Increased the coverage of all three versions of the Droid Armour Module, offering 100% chest coverage and 85% stomach coverage on all versions, but varying limb protection (15%, 45%, and 85%).
  • Increased the cost of researching said droid upgrades (Robotics III now requires a higher tech level and 1 engineering research, like Assault Armour Crafting does. The Super Battle Droid Blaster is unlocked in Robotics II so you don't have to wait as long for it).
  • Increased the health of B1 and BX droids to have a minimum of 120 health per bodypart.
  • Altered the hit chances of B1 and BX droids to make the chest a bigger target, and the right arm a smaller target (closer to vanilla races).
  • Changed the XP bonuses/maluses of battle droids (the B1 suffers less in defense, the B2 is awful at anything sneaky in exchange for better unarmed combat, and the BX is both stealthy and a skilled melee fighter).
  • Increased the speed of the B2 to match the B1 (GO!!!)
  • Increased the heal rate of Droidekas to 1.
  • Increased the starting stats of various battle droid NPCs to match their allies and/or their intended foes.
  • Increased the starting stats of Rogue Droidekas & Security Droidekas to the level of vanilla Iron Spiders & Security Spiders (be afraid).
  • Nerfed the Stun Baton & Warden's Baton to only do 150% damage to droids.
  • Increased the average quality of Rogue Droid Legion blasters and upgraded some NPC B2 armours to MK II.
  • Lightly increased the stats of the Rogue Droids gamestart's B1 droids.

As always, I'm not an expert on balance at all. If you think something should be tweaked, feel free to let me know.

Glad to help!

yeah this makes them really viable :) gonna try your mod for my next run thanks :)

To give some more specific numbers from the FCS, the Shek and the SK-5 (vanilla) skeleton have a minimum speed of 70, and maximum speed of 110. Meanwhile, the B1 and B2 (with this addon) have 55 to 100 speed.
They will be significantly slower when their stat is low, but their speed will improve more notably when leveling.

Oh I found my comment and B1s with lvl 90 run with 21mph, yeah that sounds fine. Compared to Sheks and Skeletons with 23mph at lvl90 a little bit slow but dooable :)

@Pico I did a test a while ago and B2 was about 13mph at lvl50 in Kathun reworked while sheks and skeletons(the slowest in Vanilla) can do 20 at lvl 50 is it somewhere in this range? My Point is are they now fast enough for a assault squad, I sadly never tested it with B1 and compared it to other races so no Idea how fast they are

Yeah I think BX is totally fine

@fettideluxe
The B2 now runs as fast as the B1 does. I didn't change the BX unit's speed (it was already very fast).
This B1/B2 speed is a little slow on average, but much better than what the B2 originally had.

I wanted to do a all droid run with BX and B2 in my running squad have they now the same B2 running speed? (Itried to mod this months ago myself but failed miserably)
