How useless is this? Why would I want to place a hospital that I am never going to be at? I do not have rez, I do not buff, My wound packs suck (compaired to a doctor who gets 10 pts to spend on experimentation) So why should I want to place a Hospital.

When kavedog said something about a Hospital tent or mobile hospital I was estatic. IT would be great to throw up a tent that I can heal better in on the battlefield. But to place somethign permenient in a city. No thank you.

I would like to know what other CMs think about this? Personally I think it should stay as a Doctor only placement and make ours move mobile. Maybe do the same type of think like the Merchent tent (made by tailors and architect).

All valid points. I see it as a RP tool. Same thing as have a pet follow other people.

While I agree with you, I think the Devs would see a mobile hospital as encroaching too much on High Quality Camps that Rangers can provide.

Having a pet foolow someone else is extremely useful,I think. That way you can stay a bit more tightly clustered as a group which helps with threading MOBs instead of having a long train of PCs and Pets.

Ok this isn't a CH board but you would have them follow someone else if hey were put on guard for that person. I am not sure but I don't think they would follow the other person if you had them on guard. I think they would just run to that persons aid if they were attacked. And if it is someone with no armor (like a CM) they would be dead before that animal would get there.

See how I brought it back to the CMs.

BTW I would like to get the opinion of Zalor about the topic? and Kavedog for that matter....

I respect both of their opinions......(although Zalor and I DID disagree once )

I dont think CMs should get mobile hospitals as like an above poster said, it would infringe on scouts/rangers. Heck as long as someone pops a camp, you can whip out your 110medical droid and you are good to go.

I honestly dont see why you are complaining though its not like something you *have* to do, only makes it easier for the doctor that already has all his lots filled to let another person plant the hospital of a city(a MCM will be placing our city's hospital).

Oh... um.... well....

So how about that pet following others, thing!

Actually I just don't have much of an opinion on it. Seems like it's just an extra little benefit and I can't see how it hurts to have it.

The tent idea, I also agree might interfere way too much into the Scout/Ranger lines (we already snagged TN and a bit of BRE from them.)

So what the other folks said.

And for the record, I disagree with myself a LOT!

About the tent Idea, thats a big "no" in my opinion. As was mentioned, its infringing on Scouts/rangers, and we alread stole TM and BRE, like Z said. It drops in the same realm as people wanting revive for CM's and survey for medics in general, both of which im against. They are skills that are already in the game, skills that if you want, you should have to spend the skill points to get.I am much more in favor of trying to come up with NEW and UNIQUE skills for Combat Medic, rather than take skills from already established professions.

As for CM's being able to build hospitals, I dont see what the big deal is. Its just like the mind heal skill. Its not something we traded for, we didnt loose anything in gaining it. If you dont want to use it, then dont. I for one would like to have it. I already own and maintainthe medium sized house that my city is using as a temporary med center.
