Thread: Idea for doctors to make money while encouraging them to heal at medical centers

Hrm, i like the faction point idea! I'm a master doc and I have a steady income from sources other than healing so frankly, money (at this point) isn't even a draw for me. You could give me 5 credits per wound healed and I still wouldn't camp the med center because it's just boring.


However, if i could get faction points for doing it, then I would probably consider it. Solo faction missions (the ones i am currently running, anyway) are not easy but not impossible for me to do. If I could earn faction points at a comparable rate by healing folks, I probably would when I'm solo. Even if it's limited to healing only other overts of your faction, that would be ok w/ me (I"m overt anyway).

Also, if master doctors can make money otherways - great.


I'm not saying this should be the best way to make money, nor will it be. It will however let people who actually want to heal people in medical centers find a way to make money, other than selling medicines. It also encourages healers to actually heal, instead of running trivial tedious missions to make money, or becoming pharmacists and selling medicines to other players(which is perfectly viable, just we need healers too).

I mention it only because such has been suggested before, and the creation of such a terminal should take very little additional coding. It is only one possible aspect of what such a terminal might contain. That's all.


Like standard Mission Terminals have both Destroy and Delivery missions. It's just a type of misson possible on such a terminal.

Are you suggesting that the money for payment just comes from nowhere? I doubt they'll add any additional money sources to the game, since they're already pretty concerned about inflation in the economy.


If you're suggesting charging players a quoted rate per wound point healed, that's been suggested many times before. Definitely something I'd like to see happen, though. I stopped healing solely because I end up losing money doing it.
