# Configurable XP Rates & Droid Battery Indicators

## What's New
<p class="callout success">[Completed] Available on Live (v1.7.0), Test and Experimental.</p>
Two quality-of-life systems:
1. **Configurable XP rate**: choose your own ground and quest XP multiplier.
2. **Droid battery indicators**: see a droid's battery on its nameplate, in the group window and in the Droid Commander squad HUD.

## XP Rate Commands
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| `/setXpRate <n>` | Set a whole-number multiplier from 0 up to the server maximum (5 by default) |
| `/xpRate` | Show your current multiplier |
| `/xpRate reset` | Return to the server default |
| `/xpRate help` | Show in-game usage |

- `0` freezes ground combat and quest XP, handy for finishing questlines without out-leveling them.
- You get a confirmation when you change the rate and a reminder at login. Overhead XP text scales with the rate and is hidden at 0x.
- Your rate is saved on your character.

## Droid Battery Indicators
| Place | What you see |
|---|---|
| Group window | Three bars per droid: health (red), action (green), battery (cyan); hover for the exact percent |
| Droid nameplate | A third bar: <span style="color:#2e9e5b">green</span> at 60% or more, <span style="color:#b7791f">yellow</span> at 25 to 59%, <span style="color:#d64545">red</span> below 25% |
| Droid Commander squad HUD | A battery gauge and percent label on each of the 7 slots |

## FAQ and Known Details
**Fractional rates like 1.5x?** No, only whole numbers.
