Faulty info....

[Karrde]

I was playing KotOR earlier, and I was on Korriban, in Marko Ragnos' Tomb. It's the one with the crazy assassin droid. Anyway, I was looking up the order to shut down the droid's systems, and found this page.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic @ GameBanshee

Towards the bottom of the page under step 4 (Rogue Assassin Droid), right above step 5 (Tomb Door, Sarcophagus) it says this:

When that's done you'll have two options. You can "delete the assassination programming" or "activate self-destruct mode." Choosing the latter will not give you any parts and will in fact give you (DS Points) to boot. Choosing to delete its programming will give you (LS Points), 1000xp and he'll give you several useful droid parts including: an Advanced Shield Disruptor, Advanced Flame Thrower, a Carbonite Projector Mark II and Droid Heavy Plating Type 3. If at the beginning, you by choice or by chance killed the droid, you can also get these parts. But again, if you activated its self-destruct after first helping, they will be lost.

It took me a while to find out what I was doing wrong, but I found out that he bold underlined part is the exact opposite of what happens. If you destroy the droid by by choice or by chance or by choice at the beginning, you can't get the parts. But if you activate the droid's self destruct, you can get the parts. I just thought I should point this out, so the article can be corrected.
