I now have TKM and I'm going to get MCommando, but now I have to decide between Scout 1/0/0/0 or one box of Medic. Also if I choose Medic what box should I take in it? Any help would be appreciated!

Well the 1/0/0/0 in Scout gives you +20 terrain negotiation (which always helps when chasing guys with your flamethrower) and if I did get Medic I was thinking about 1/0/0/0.

Hmm. Tough one. I myself am a Master Commando/Medic/Scout. Both of them serve me well. Personally novice medic isn't that great since I believe you can only use Stimpack A's. If you can use Stimpack B's go medic absolutely.
I like where I'm at cause I use nothing but commando for fighting (Not always a good thing I've noticed). However being able to run really fast (I got explore 4) and having medic 3,3,3,0 really works out good. I can heal myself up good. If I wasn't a medic I'd probably would have died a thousand times over. But your TKM so that might not be a problem for you. If your TKM you can heal your wounds and boost your stats. Plus you already got terrain negotian. So I'm gonna say medic.

I dropped scout but i had it mostly for the harvesting. It is nice to be able to move in the terain faster but I've learned a strait lin up hill is much slower than angle. I have medic 1/0/0/0 since you can use stim Bs and get a better heal out of them.

I think I might go 1/0/0/0 scout instead of 1/0/0/0 medic.
My build right now on live is MCommando/TKM and 1/0/0/0 medic. I like it. My TC build is Commando/Master medic. Not bad either.
But, I like scout....and will probably return to that someday. Medics are not as good as Docs or CMs in the field or in higher end combat situations. I prefer to use my Commando skills anyway!

Well, I personally like 1/0/0/0 medic over scout because of the stim packs...and if you can get Force Sensitive experience, there is a branch that allows you to get some terrain skills for a very cheap skill point cost (although hard as hell to get experience for)...but still, terrain negotiation isn't as big a deal now as it was before because land vehicles make travelling so much easier. Just my 2 credits worth.

Neither!
Go with Dahamian and get 0/0/3/0 in smuggler for feign death or go 3/0/0/0 in pistoleer for added dodge bonus.
If you must pick between scout and medic (this coming from someone who is mcommando/tkm) go scout, I had medic for awhile and I never used it, with good buffs ya really don't need to. So at least with scout you can harvest creatures. And one plus to picking either scout or medic is that you can easily switch between the two. Say if you're going to pvp or fight nightsisters train medic, otherwise keep scout.

I like the idea of being able to switch bewteen medic and scout depending on the situation. If there is something good that needs harvesting I can drop medic and pick up scout. For PvP or high-level PvE having novice medic is very valuabe, espeically for healing your doc when he forgets to heal himself.
