[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3691904, member: 710"] I guess your calculations weren't wrong (without checking them myself). R2s are stock droids available on the free market. The player wants to build something from scratch, that will most likely be more expensive. Going along the D&D lines, you would probably use these rules: Make a Mechanics checks DC X. If you succeed, multiple the result with the DC. This is the worth in 1/10 credits you make per week. Repeat until you have enough credits equal to the price of the object. Pay 1/3 of the estimated price in advance for base materials. If you fail the check by 5 or more, you lose half the base materials and must start from the beginning The question might be: What is X? I'd suggest something around 15-20. (The character should have the option to voluntarily increase the DC by 10 to effectively increase the speed of the construction) That said, I wouldn't use these rules. It takes awfully long to build something with this rule. Though you could still use them as a base. My suggestion would be to modify the progress per week in some way. Consider these: By expending more money to get standardized droid components, you can increase the progress per week by 5 or by 10.
