Hmm... Here's my lineup...

Stim Es for in-combat healing. (want to be sure to *always* heal to full... plus you can get over 60 charges on 'em -- slightly more efficient use of resources than Ds)

Stim Cs for touch ups, non-buffed healing...

Health wound Ds or Es (maybe not necessary anymore -- i used to use them to heal burn wounds during combat -- heal 1k wounds in one shot... now I never take burn wounds...)

Wound Bs or Cs for everything else. Ds and Es are a complete and total waste of resources for anything but health. I haven't seen over 150 wounds to a secondary stat in like 3 months... If you're using Cs, experiment primarily for charges...

Poison/disease Cs -- preferably with high effectiveness ratings... Cure multiple poisons or diseases in one shot.

For Stims, I use what I call "budget" Stim Es. These are made with standard CDRMs and standard BECs. Why standard BECs? Look at this resource breakdown:

Advanced Stim C (regular CDRM) - 550 power/45 charges for 92 resources

Advanced Stim D (regular CDRM) - 800 power/50 charges for 132 resources

Advanced Stim E (regular CDRM) - 1050 power/55 charges for 176 resources

Budget Stim E (regular CDRM and BEC) - 1050 power/45 charges for 104 resource

The Budget Stim E is uses fewer resources per charge than the D and gives you a better heal. In my mind, there is no reason not to use an E. The same applies to woundpacks. If you don't like the cost, make a "budget"woundpack E. You get a low resource requirement woundpack that still packs a huge heal.

Happymob! You are earning that Spammer tag today!

I prefer Wound-C's for most pack. They take a few more resources, but who cares what you use??? Even 20 extra resources for something in the 800's is only about 60 cr or so (Valcyn). They only require 1 BEC, so you can use anything from any factory run. Hand-made, you can use your odd resources. All in all, I am happiest with Wound-C's.

For Stims, I always go with the E's. They heal for more, which is what I always want, and give you a great big charge number. I consider the guarantee of a high heal more important that saving a few credits. With buffs against normal critters, you don't really need stims. If you are supporting someone fighting something insane, you want every advantage that you can get.

For buffs, I have a few different buffs. For self-hunting, I'll use lower buffs because I don't care. Even 300 pts on health for an hour is fine. Why burn big bucks on easy missions? For theme parks, I just full-buff. I can handle the missions, but the wildlife sometimes is extremely dangerous, and a few missions are much harder than they look. Day-to-day, I usually don't buff and wear a low-HAM breastplate. (It's not much, but it's enough to stop a lucky fullcharge bodyshot from killing me if I'm just travelling about.)

(Here's the low overhead way to live the good life: If I wear our a suit of Chiton and a gaffi every week, that's about 26k credits (at most) a week overhead. Usually less. And who cares if I die? If you wear out a suit of composite a month (say 500k total), that 125k a week in overhead. And each death = 25k if you don't insure all that armor. So I need to make 26k to break even, while they need to make 125k to break even, and that's assuming that I replace my equipment 4x as often as they do!)

Well most of the time Im buffed so I use stim E's cuz they heal up to 2K each hit. For wounds, I would carry around just D's cuz E's are a lil more annoying to make since it requires tubers and polymers and I dont need to add more crap in my inventory, so I use my berries and water to make the D wound packs. They heal up to 400-500 per hit so I think thats plenty for people who are REALLY heavily wounded. I wouldnt go too overboard with the woundpacks cuz a lot of times, I find myself wasting my wound packs on little wounds that people ask me to heal. You wont find that many people with heavy heavy nasty wounds unless they are trying to help a friend out with grinding a skill.

99% of the costumers I buff dont have any damages to their HAMS, I use the stimpacks mostly on myself and on my friends when we go hunting.

If Im a Master doc and Im also hunting, I would carry....

a crate of Stim E's (heal up to 1.5-2K damages on HAM)
wound D packs (heal up to 300-500 on wound damages)
a poison pack (the spiders in Dath suck)
a disease pack (the wrixes and cats in Coronet suck)

Stun, intimidate is nonsense, they wear off in like a few seconds anyway so you dont really need them.

I only use Stim D's because even with fully buffed people, I can heal their full bar in one shot. E's are just a waste of resources unless you have some BIG ham pets. I also use woundpack B's because at Master Doctor I can usually heal anywhere from 250-450??500 each shot. Plus woundpack B's are cheap. As for buff packs, I believe D's are the highest you can go, but yes, ONLY USE D'S.
