So now your saying restrict us to the med centers and make them come find us there when i could do the same job out in the field? Isnt one tag we can wear say Field Surgeon? Im not saying med centers not get a bonus higher than droids but leave my droid alone and dont restrict me to were i cna do my job.

for the moment doctors dont make housecalls cause nobody is sick enough to not being able to visit a doctor

Field surgeons in war were usually camped out in temporary hospitals, and the combat medics are the ones in the field dropping near a wounded teammate. Now Im not saying to restrict everything to a doctor in the medical center, just the advanced things like buffing for instance. Or at least give the incentive to be in the hospital instead of an open field.

Without going into detail, the proposal Im writing would bring in Bacta containers instead of clone cylinders

The question still not answered is why? Why make the change?
Please dont tell me it is to make the game more realistic.

read a few times about "limiting" us to hospitals/med centers and not being able to heal in the field.
Has is been that long since you guys have been out hunting with friends or whatnot to where you had to use a CAMP to call your droid and rebuff?
you can still do this ya know. out in the field that is.
I like to be able to buff anywhere too, dont get me wrong, but maybe add the ability to buff inside any structure as well as med centers. so docs can still make "house calls"
just some ideas.

The med rating on a tent is one of the worst, 60 or 70 if I recall correctly.
To make/use a camp you have to be a scout. Not a doc. I would rather not be forced to spend my 18 left overpoints on scout just so that I can give a very poor buff.
There was a reason that they changed it so that you did not need a tent to call your droid.

House calls are for triage - Med centres (hospitals) is where all the best equipment and resources are for a full recovery.
I support the idea of giving the Med Centres a boost - but not as drastically some have indicated.
Here are my thoughts...
Medical Droid: 100 Rating
Med Centre: 110 Rating, 25% increase in healing speed
This is will provide a good enough incentive to go a Med Centre for both the Doctor AND the patient but still provide a reason to have a Medical droid and buff outside of the Med Centre.

I want to know why all the damned tumblers are in the med centers, that's the main reason I avoid the things like the plague.

If docs were forced into buffing only in a med center, they would be less prevailant; some poeple like to be docs for the abillity to buff themselves, if they were forced to go to a med center to do so, it probably wouldnt be worth the SP to go doc, better to buy them while there. I figure less docs, less availabillity, prices would probably rise, could be bad for most, but being a doc, richer is better.

Since when do surgeons preform brain surgery at your home??? Docs do make house calls...but since when do they lug along CAT scanners with them? Docs can do certian things on the go...but for the best treatment(bonus') they need to be in a hospital.
Also...hevean forbid med centers be used for medical applications...the only drawback I can think of is that all the spammers will move to the med centers.
I like Sevardos's idea..
Camps give ok med bonus(70ish)
Droids give better med bonus(100)
med centers give best med bonus(110) plus a bonus to speed(25%)
The biggest baddest camp should give a bonus to speed.(maybe 10%)
I have several friends that used to be rangers...they dropped it because they said no one uses their skills anymore...no one needs big camps. This would make rangers in demand again if their camps gave a good med bonus and heal speed bonus.
Also...someone was talking about baning people from the cities medcenter during a fight. I totally agree with banning people. Since when does your enemy heal you and release you to fight against them again. I think if you get healed in an enemy city med center you should be unable to TEF for like 15 mins or somehting like that as a penality for using their facility....or maybe once you go in you cant get out for 15 mins... or it takes 15 mins to get you fully healed....you get the idea.

the #1 issue should be to have an actual incentive to go to the medical center while providing any medical services, if it means toning down the current things we take for granted, so be it.

y-osa you have a very skewed perspective of docs...
not all of us are out to make money...
_____________________________________________________________________
Your very correct, I run a vendor in suplies and almost never buff the public, so most of my assumptions come second hand, although I still believe its logical to think if there are less docs buffing, pp would be more hard pressed and prices would rise, considering most would be more inclined to make more money than less; I feel comfortable myself with a stocked vendor and a mill in the bank for suplies, as such, I never charge more than 10k for a buff,usuallyif theytip 5kit it still covers my expense, I dont complain, rez, heals, wounds, never asked for payment, although as I mentioned, I craft more than naught, some docs can charge exorbant amouts though, boththe buffers, and the supliers, but still, your right, I only tend to one side of the profession and don't do the buff thing.

but honestly what good are med centers now...a place for afk tumblers to tumble???
no one really uses them now so why have them at all...lets just remove them from the game...
while we are removing things...lets get rid of the theaters too...no one uses them either...
since we are removing things..lets dump the 50% of the starport cities that no one really uses(all of the ones that are not cnet on corella)
no one uses them why are they there???
Wait I have another idea...
Why dont we have people use the facilities that are here like they are suppose to be used.
I cannot for the life of me understand why everyone thinks it will be such a big deal to make the best possible buffs only happen in a med center?
What is the problem..is it the fact that you cant get buffed right off of a starport too big of a pain for you?
I am sure that some docs will still buff there(-10% and a little slower)
But for the best buffs and the fastest...it should happen in the med center.
