/bump.. one star me if you must... but player hospitals are IMHO.. a redundant building.. redundant use of lot space.

/bump again.. I know you guys want a useful function for this dumb place.

I agree

They have to have a higher rating than medical droids absolutely, I buffed myself for 2200 in my hospital at the weekend, went outside, pulled my droid out and rebuffed myself for 2450, I mean come on, a droid more powerful than a hospital ? I think not.

Whether the droids are nerfed down to 100 med rating and hospitals are boosted to 110 rather than going up to 120 I don't mind overly, but really, hospitals need to have use over droids, and a 1.2 multiplier on buffs instead of a 1.1 would easily be enough to do it.

Of course, we'd have to stop getting kicked out of them for buffing overt players of our own faction, or that could get real old real fast.

Aye, when I was asked to place a hospital in my city I said it would be a waste of time as no-one in their right mind would use it when you can heal in any public building or just whip out a droid, though I decided to dump both my houses on Saturday and get a hospital to replace it and whilst moving everything in I realised all my battle fatigue had vanished as well as my wounds, but that seems to be the only advantage a player hospital has over a droid.

I do quite like the fact I never need to visit a Cantina anymore Just spend the time I usually spend in my house crafting, and BF goes away.

Quite a few of my friends have taken to logging off in my hospital as well, so that they can clear the battlefatigue in the few minutes at the start of a session that they spend catching up with mail/tells, etc

But yes, buffing on my porch because my Droid is a better Hospital than my hospital, is frankly silly.

I'd whole-heartedly approve of a 120% med treatment in our hospitals.

I also approve of fixing factional eject. I'm Imperial. My Hospital is Imperial. Why do I get kicked out for buffing an Imperial!?

/sheesh.

Instant functionality, not too powerful... of course I would rather prefer 200 Medical Rating Capability then players would always come to my hospital

This would be an easy solution to making the hospitals actually worthwhile.

Please don't bump.

playing devils advocate... if med centers get an additional +20... what other gear/stuff would you like to see that +20 come out of... food, BE clothing?

It is very easy to say "hey give use 20 more points" you already have +50.. how much more do you want? The droid and location bonus even counts more then food and clothes (because the percentage is applied after the other 2).

The devs can't keep adding bonus upon bonus forever...

Traigus,

I think it is less about bonus than it is giving value to a med center. If they don't want to give us a bonus (understandable) then knock droids down a notch. I don't think a fully equipped med centers should provide inferior modifier to a battery-powered droid out in the field. That makes no sense to me.

I'd be all for raising player med centers to +110 and lowering droids to +100. It really makes no sense that I get better medical care sitting in the street with a little droid out than I do when sitting in a fully equipped hospital.

I've got a beautifully decorated hospital in the city in which I live, and I think it's a shame that people so rarely spend any time in it. We need to give people some incentive to spend time in every player structure, not just the cantinas.

If we only give this capability to player med centers and not the NPC ones, it shouldn't have any effect on the medical droid market for DE's becausedoctors will still spend a bunch of time at NPC starports with people waiting in line.

Yeha, I tried suggesting dumbing down droids, but that went over like a lead ballon!

Up the Med centers to at LEAST 10 points above the best droids, ie. 110 droid, 120 Med Center.

BUT med droid IN a med center = 125 or 130. Sounds fair to everyone!

Droids are already useful when hunting, if they'd let us buff in dungeons I'd have no problem dropping their effectiveness down to 100 and having med centers upped to 110.

I don't agree with the droid + hospital should give like 120 or 130, because the droid is redundant, it's like having a swiss army knife in a garage full of tools, you don't need to use the mini portable item because the real thing is already there.
