Doctor Archive

I would say that the folks having money issues are trying to make money as a Doctor. Yes, you can make money as an Artisan (by selling resources, for example) you can make money on missions (in some cases as a Doc, even, if you are grouped) and you can make money trying to sell Meds, or you can make money on tips.

Meds, depending on the area and just how many friends or PA-mates you have that are willing to take a bath by giving you a discount or freebies, are barely more than a break-even proposition. Yeah, it feels great when you have 50k from selling a crate of great Bs, but it may take afew days and several off-planet trips with associated expenses to make that next crate of 50. Next thing you know that 50k drained away pretty quick.

I keep trying to reiterate this. The issues that people are having making money, is not necessarily that there are not ways to make mony, but depending on the template you choose there are very few ways to effectively make money AS a Medic. If you picked Master Medic, Master Doc, Master CM Novice Entertainer, for example. At least you have some offensive skills (Ranged Weapon Support, so in effect Suppresion Shot, along with your poisons), but how are you going to make money selling resources? It won't be as easy without the skills to survey and sample to make sure you are getting anything decent, let alone getting the supplies you need to make the best meds.

I think that is where they issue lies. Not that money cannot be made, but that money cannot eaisly be made directly within the profession.
