Doctor Archive

I was looking on the DEV announcement boards, and I saw a very bad thing. They are considering dropping the Schematic number (to their true number) 100. I wrote a message on that thread for the Dev's to read, but I wanted to let all of the other doctors know how I feel, and see how you feel about it too.

This change in schematic numbersis not justified because:

1. There are bigger bugs to beworked on: We still have problems with not being able to put our subcomponet crates into our factories. We still have problems with the factory inventory size. We still have problems with our factories freezing up, and we need to destroy them and build them again. We still have problems with factory crates getting stuck with items still inside them. Plus many more bugs that aren't even medical related!

2. If they lowered the Schematic Limit (which we know they will do no matter what we say about it), this is going to make us babysit our factories. No more running your factories before you go to work and logging, no more running your factories and going out to hunt. If you want to still have your Medical business running, you are going to have to devote all of your game time to keeping your customers happy, and running your business. (Which is not justifiable, because you make more money doing hunting missions than you do waiting for factories to produce subcomponent after subcomponent.)

3. By lowering the Schematic Limit we would never be able to make two solid crates of 50 stims. If we are going to create factory crates of Stim-b's, you are going to need to experiment with the subcomponents to make a nice Stim-b. So say it takes 5 trys to get a sweet Stim-b. Now you are only going to have one crate of 50 and one crate of 45. What if were making stim-d's? They take two biologicals for each stim! You will never have one solid crate of 50! What if we are making Stim-e's? Now were talking about even lower numbers. This is really not cool, and will hurt my sales big time!

These are onlya few of the issues that I listed for the Devs. They say that they need to lower the Schematic limit do to DB issues. What I want to know is, aren't there going to be even more DB issues if there tens of thousands ofmore serial numbers that they would now have to trace?

I have over 75 clients that I sell med supplies to. I sell 3-5 factory crates of Stim-b's aday, 1 crate of Stim-c's every other day, 10+ wound-b packs a day,not to mention buffs and my own personal supply of medical equipment that I use. If this schematic issue does take effect, my business that I spent months building, is all going to be lost. There is no way that I can keep up with the demand. I have a full time job and Iam a full time student in real life. I dont have the time to spend on this game to keep my clients. I need this draft Schematic max at 500 or more. If the schematic issue does pass, and the limit is dropped, I see no future for me in the meical field. Not sure if I will drop the profession and start a new one, or just cancel my subscription to the game.

Personal message to the devs: The SWRPG was all about the game master making the game fun for the players. I suggest that the devs pick up some old books and dice, pay $15 to play the game, and nerf each other until sunsets. Then I want to know how fun the game was.
