lol no clue since i sell meds in both trees...

besides i dont make my living in the med center and i dont think anyone can..and ifsomeone thinks they can get rich like that, thats a big misunderstanding ontheir part.

Am i saying it should be like this? no, but it is...

and there hasnt been a good solution yet presented to fix this...the best i can come up with is medical missions...

For Doctors to make money, I would say 1) Sell meds. There are plenty of people, myself included that hate crafting meds but use them nonetheless. I am anovice Doctor and buy ALL of my medsstims, and woundpacks. 2) Buffs!! Doctor buffs are awesome. Yes, I know they are bugged right now, but when and if they get fixed, all those fighter types are gonna really want those buffs before raids and hunting expeditions.

I hope I dont get flamed for this, i'm totally not trying to insult anyone.. Someone said they were a master doctor and it took "minutes to heal a black HAM". I think you must have been exaggerating there, because it only takes a master doctor 30 seconds tops. I'm only an expert doctor and I heal 200 wounds as an average. I'm sure it doesnt take you minutes. )

actually including stat wounds it does take like a few mins

This post is not constructive. Could you please remove this post, Zarlor?

Apologies, I meant the thread is not constructive as a whole. The individual posts are fine. Why cant you edit your own post? Good grief.

I can't do anything but sticky a thread. It's not like I'm a moderator opr anything, You guys keep thinking there's all kinds of stuff I can do, and I'm really just a volunteer data collector.

Besides even if I were the moderator I don't think I would remove the thread anyway. Then again it was pretty buried until you just bumped it up.

doh. I'm sticking to doctor issues exclusively now. Always kick myself for sticking my nose in someone else's conversation. Sorry.

wow you people need to get your heads out of your behinds. I'm speaking of those who say if docs want credits they should go out and do destroy missions haahahahaaaahah. As I recall, swg was supposed to be about options, it was supposed to be a place where one didn't have to rely on combat to make a profit. It's stuck up to think that everyone should adopt a playstyle like you have. Elenora you really give all doctors a bad name...flaming the guy for wanting to find an effective way for doctors to get paid for their services. I see no more constructive replies on this issue these days only "I'm master doc blah blah blah.. you're wrong and i'm right look at my master doctor title" I've mastered the profession and close to master combat medic but it's not a point I have to drive into every topic when I can't come up with something constructive. Not everyone wants to pick up a blaster, not everyone wants to limit themselves to having to blow stuff up in a field where they'd rather not be. I for one despise combat, and with my template there is little room for weapon skills, but does that keep me from making a living? nope. There are plenty of things to do, the most lucrative is probably selling stim crates, by far the most profitable business a doctor can venture into . However not everyone may have the resources to do this so I suggest standing up for yourself as a medic. Charge up front, let your patient know what type of medicine you have and how fast you can heal them. It's usually up tot hem to decide if they want to pay the fee or not.

A scenario I always use happened to me some time ago, where it was just me, a doctor, and a novice medic in the center. A bounty hunter walks in with completely black health and action bars. He of course goes, can someone heal me plz? (gotta love people who can't use entire words by the way) Immeditely the novice medic jumps in and is only healing about 20-30 wounds at a time. I simply go, for a fee I can get rid of those black bars in no time. He of course looks at me funny and goes, you get exp from doing this, why do I need to pay you? Guy si wearing a full suit of composite so I know he ain't exactly broke. I simply reply nope exp serves me no purpose anymore so either you can pay the fee or sit here for the next half hour. he says no thanks I'm fine, so I smile and walk off. Hahaha I run to the bank, check my factories and I came back to the med center all of about 15 minutes later and he's still sitting there with black bars hahahahah. So he goes, how much you charging again? LOL You just have to fish out your chances right, go to lok, or dantooine. there are always half dead people there oh boy and don't get me started on the people who run madly into the med center with poison states begging for a doctor to clear them hehehee. There are ways to make money without having to pick up a gun. i admit it's a trial but there are ways, don't listen to people who say you have to fight to make money, they cheapen what we really are.

In light of the Entertainer, Scout and Artisanmission terminals, how do you feel about those being in game?

I would like to see a "Medic" mission terminal. Have it built just like the Entertainer/Artisan Mission Terminals. 1 Go Heal XXX peoplepage and 1 Go Craft this Special Med Mission Page. As it stands, Artisans can do Crafting Missions and Sample Missions. Scouts have Go Kill XXX Missions and Recon Missions. Entertainers Have "Dancer" and "Musician" missions which are "Go heal XXX people for XXX cr" missions.

Granted, I'm not exactly rolling in cash, but I'm not broke either. Taking a pair of Recon Missions (1K each), I have seen some amazing landscapes. And those are fairly straight forward. Run to this waypoint (3K out). BING! You have completed your mission.
