* You can kill both of these with one fix. Add mind heal to the master doctor skill box.

** I have a higher critical failure rate as a master doctor than as a Doctor with Carfting 3. Somehthing is definitely wrong here.

*3: MD Benefits: It's still irksome that, at least in a med center, an MD faces competition from a Novice Medic. The only MD's I know who work hospitals are doing it when they're feeling generous (or need XP for CM). I briefly tried charging, but it's hard to cement a deal when someone else starts giving it away for free. You never see a Novice Artisan competing with a Master Architect for that guild hall contract.

**New: When I chose to go MD/MCM, I knowingly sacrificed just about everything else. I gave up Hunter. I gave up Surveyor. The skill point requirements are just too stringent. I voluntarily gimped myself. What I would like to see is CM crafting use med crafting, not CM crafting. Not only would this give CMs who don't do MD the ability to make top of the line components, but it would give gimped masters of all medical crafting 15 experimentation pointsto work with (which would be a good balance for not having anything else).

***20: If consolidated wound packs are an MD only craftable item (make them only show up there, and only come in strength C), then they serve the simple purpose of making our lives a bit easier. There's no XP factor here (yes, using them could effectively triple the XP generated per heal). It's simply that we're applying a major league Red-bar medicine, not a run of the mill stat med.

****33: Yep, it was a slap in the face. Especially with all the talk of profession interdependence. I used to think to myself, when a CH would laugh at my offer to heal a pet for a fee, that he may laugh now, but when given the choice of keeping 15 skill points tied up in Novice Medic or using them to specialize further, I'd get back into the business. Silly me. Then again, my perspective is that of someone who is ultra-specialized at the cost of everything else.

*****1: I'm sure this will be an unpopular point of view. As I've said, when I chose to be MD/MCM, I knowingly gimped myself in other areas. I could have also chosen to go the other way and keep Artisan and Hunter at the cost of some medical skills. Had I done the latter, I'd have been able to remain self-sufficient. Oh well. My point is that the 250 point cap is a very effective equalizer. It forces everyone, power gamer and casual player alike, to pick and choose their career path. Yes, doctors are crafters. Yes, doctors need resources to be effective crafters. But if you really feel that way, you spend points to have those skills. I didn't, so now I get by by sharing WPs to resources with a network of other MD/MCM and some Surveyor friends.

ThrawnY: You list your #9 issue as #38 Schematic Trading. Seein as that issues was fixed in the last patch (and is annotated as such in the notes, there, and by that = sign at the end of the issue on the summary) is there something elose about schematic trading that is an issue for you? Otherwise I don't have anything to put down s your vote on that, because the items is fixed and going away.

9. NEW* Wookies Upgrades


10. 10 - Combat Queues

* I dont think adding surveying to the doctors/combat medics lines (but NOT to standard medic), would "destory" the surveying of artisians. Not full strength, just +20-30. This would require 77 points into the medic, which would be more expensive than for artisian by itself.

** Even if mind healing is added to SL or some other class, Doctors and CM still need a "A" lvl pack. Maybe create a new "A" stimpack that lvl 4 in medical crafting can create. It uses *NO* subcomponents, but does use large amounts [30+] of generic world type material from every planet. (Tat Berries, Yaven Steel, naboo Oats, etc). Also requiring master medic to use. [Keep it likethe regualr "A" stimpack, where you get 12 uses andaround 100 on950+ materials]

BTW, for foks trying to list items multiple times, you should be aware that only the highest level one will count, that's it. I don't add duplications. So rating someting as your #1 and #2 items won't give it a score of 19, it will only give it a score of 10 with nothing scoring a 9. Just wanted to make that clear for those who may not have been aware of it and may want to consider changing your vote. If you really only care about 1 issue, that's fine, just list that 1 issue as your #1 issue, that's all it will count for, and you will effectively be giving all of the other issues a non-vote (meaning they aren't really of an issue to you,I suppose.)
