Hello,
I am not a doc, I have been a medic for ages. I will have a toon that is a doc and the profession is a most excellent one, but there is a major major problem that I would like to see worked out in order to improve game play and was wondering what you thought of this idea or something simular.
PROBLEM - you spend your credits and huge amounts of time in order to get buffs, just to have them taken from you sometimes seconds later. I have logged out immediatly several times when this has occured because I have no interest in waiting in a 20 min line to get re-buffed.
Solution (possible) - Make it so that doctors can make a "Simplified" self administering buff pack. This would only be usable by someone with atleast XX4X medic, it would be effected by the medic healing mods.
This simplified buff pack would be a buff cocktail that would administer all of the buffs in one hit making it great for hunting trips or big pvp battles where you die a lot.
The downside to this is that rather than the best ones giving you a 3+ hours buff, this one would only be good for about 1.5 hours. Also, rather than giving a 2500 pt buff, if this was given by a master medic the equivalent cocktail would grant you 1500 points. Also, this buff is only self applied and you would have to have atleast XX4X medic to use it so not everyone will be able to take advantage of it. (Although... maybe just having that medic skill would also allow you to apply to others... not sure on that one)
The plus for the doctors is it would cut down on your lines and increase your medical sales freeing you to do other things than sitting around starports buffing if you don't feel like it.
The plus to the player is, if they die they will have an alternative to a doctors buff for immidiate re-entry into the game. For you really can't do much of any combat in this game unless you have some kind of med buff on you.
Doctors would still have a huge roll to play in that there applied buffs will last longer and be more powerfull. Plus, they will be needed to craft this stuff.
What do you think? Other ideas that will solve this problem?

doctors are here for a reason :-P
we already got enough "sologroups","afk-looter","borgle(and other palces) camper","macrojunkies"
ou want an Enhancement? You need to seek out a Doctor and get a Treatment, thats the way it is...
But dont Worry, combatrevamp will make the buffs lower soon anyway, so no need for your medic 4 idea, since buffs will be lower anyway :-P
sorry if i upset someone, but last tiem i checked "they" said "its a teamgame, you should not do all alone but seek out other ppl to archive things"
:-P

Another thing that wont work here is that one person can craft enough self enhancement packs for a much larger number of people compared to buffing them, reducing the number of doctors needed. We would have a much smaller role in the field since medics can already heal damage and wounds almost as well as doctors can.
