Please bump this so people have a chance to read.

1) The only difference between droid frames is how many modules they can hold. So a basic mouse droid with a med module will do more than a surgical droid with no module installed. Find which frame looks nice to you and how many modules you can put in it then move on to select your modules

2) The lvl of the medical module determine how close to the med center healing bonus you can heal at. The med center gives you a 100 medical capibilty, camps have medical capabilities also, droid follow the same rules. You will heal more on average with a lvl6 med module than a lvl1. You don't see as major a healing difference until you start using advance meds like buffpacks. There you will see a major difference in how much you buff. a lvl 6 medical module is rated 75 so nothing is better than a med center itself. The game also doesn't stack these numbers so having your med droid out in the med center will not allow you to heal for more than 100.

3) The 3 things you need in a good med droid are a good med module (lvl3 for medics or lvl6 for doctors) a chem crafter and a item storage module (hopefully will work one day).

4) high end medical modules affect the area around them. Any doctor can heal around a droid with a high end medical module in it regardless of if they are the owner. The same goes for crafting. you need only one droid with a crafting module for everyone to use the effect of it.

5) droids are ment to be custom ordered. If you buy a droid just because someone says it's a med droid your a fool and if you pay 30k for a r2 droid with a lvl 1 med module don't brag about it.

6) Yes you can get a adv protodroid with a med module and a chem crafter. That's a great buy for any medic that plans to be in the field for long periods of time. The only disadvantage of that combo is that you tend to leave it out a lot more than you would having a proto droid and a separate med droid. So you might be stuck buying batteries. Also if the droid's condition reaches zero the modules will not work till you recall the droid again.

GREAT info, you now qualify for the skill: BUMP.

A bump and a Thank You!

You mention that the medical modules won't stack with the bonus from the medical center (or presumably camps). Will multiple medical modules within a single droid stack?

mmm I think I need to upgrade my droid soon.

What are the crafting droids called? how do you tell if what your getting has the crafting and med mod's?

Gillion I assume they follow the same rules where the highest med capibility rating wins out. A personal crafting station will win out against a crafting module if the station was built with the enhancing optional modules.

If for some reason 2 med modules would stack in the same droid it might be a bug.

To answer the other question.

The only way you can be sure your getting the correct modules is to do the grunt work and buy them separate yourself. I tell most doctors to get off thier butts and get the best modules yourself then you can find a low lvl DE to do the final assembly and will save you alot of money since the master DE will often rip you off on the entire package. You can't tell what's in the droid in the deed form.

The thing to remember about all DE is they will rush to train blueprints first. So most all of them can make any frame but they can only put cheap modules in them. That's why you should get the modules separate. If they can't make you a chem crafter then they most likey will not be able to make a med module beyond lvl2.

If your looking for keeping costs down then consider a r5 adv with 2 slots. I use a r4 adv myself it can hold 3 modules and a personality chip. The cheapest you can go is a adv mouse droid with a med6 and chem crafter.

get the parts and assembly this way will get you exactly the droid you want in most cases between 8k-20k versue the 40-50k some monopolist are charging.

This is great info Snooze. I'm going to sticky it over on our boards to make sure it doesn't get lost in the forum shuffle. If you have anything to add to it, stop by.

Very good advice on the forums. I appreciate you explaining this for us.

there is a way to tell which med mod is in a droid by the med lvl listed when you examine the droid in the trade window. a lvl 6 med mod should show a med level of 75 and a med mod lvl 1 should show a med level of 35 if i remember correctly.

im pretty sure #2 isnt live yet its coming in the new patch....

yeah its not live yet...pulled this off the in testing post

Droid medic modules should now have a variable effect on medical wound healing, depending on what quality medical modules were built into the droid.

so its coming....but not here yet...

im just wondering if the pre patch med mods will have this effect...i get the feeling that this wont be the case...i think we will all haveto buy new med droids...

I'm pretty sure that my surgical droid with a level 6 module has a medical value of 95.

I bought it in the early days and paid 50k for it (also came with a chem crafting module).

My only grief is that it has the same HAM as a MSE droid. That sucks, since I can only take it out, use it, and store it again. I'm afraid some diseased nuna will whack it.

u can check the med rating by examining the droid in the data pad im pretty srue...
