... it MUST be a surgical droid.

Well at least we can pull out a droid at the same time as our pet/mount etc.

But I like to poll the doctor community to use a different parameter so that we can use other droid chassis such as the Adv. R2, R3, R5 or even a 3PO.

Zarlor.. call you to perhaps add this as an urgent issue to be looked at before it's locked into code?

Perhaps any non-combat droid can be used?

First off how can I make something an "urgent issue" if it isn't even anywhere near being coded yet? None of that stuff is set in stone, it's just ideas the Devs have been pushing forth. The best place for this is probably in the Threads Sintrosi and TH will be posting on the DE forum.

Second, it's not up to me to make an issue "urgent", it's up to all of you. That's what the voting ias all about. Of course the problem with this "issue" is that it isn't even an issue yet. None of the suggested changes have even seen the light of day in Testing. It's all just design-phase.

Personally, I will say that while I like the other droid styles (I use a 3P0 myself because I'm not overly fond of the surgical droid) I (again this is personally, not something I'm saying as the Doc Correspondent) do not think this is such a big deal. Definitely wouldn't be much of an issue for me because when it comes down to it that surgical droid is what the Star Wars Universe has shown as as the kind of droid Docs would use. As long as we can get some decent armor on the thing and an acceptabel HAM so it doesn't get one-shotted by everything out there, I could live with it.

Just my opinion, though.

Zalor, hello. This has nothing to do with the current post, in which I aggree with you, but since it seems that you are the Doc Coorespondent and I am a novice doc I though t you may be able to help me. The problem I am having is with the COA2 mission. I have posted and pleaded to TH to help but I have gottenno response. Here is what happened:

1: started the COA2 mission form the rebel in Tyrena.

2: went to the 1st WP spoke with the target, got the encoded Dead Eye disk

3: returned to get the next phase of mission

4: told me that i needed to decode the disk and that she was giving me the schematic to build the decoder

here is where all my problems began! I was never given the schematic. spoke with the rebel and i got the default "busy now, come back when you have decoded the disk...". Thinkg that i may be able to start over and get the schematic, i destroyed the disk. can't get the begining mission again. i still get the deafult "busy now" statement. have tried other rebel coorespondents in an attempt to reset the mission but have had no luck. Can you help me PLEASE. Just trying to get my first badge and experience the game. Hope you can reply with some good news.

Respectfully,

Well TH is probably the wrong Dev to ask for help from, really. Pex is the right one and I think he's got a few threads going for COA2 problems. As a Corre, I just collect Doc issues, but in this case I happen to be a Reb and have done this mission so...

Are you positive you don't have the schematic? Open up a General Crafting Tool (or a Generic, Droid, Weapon, Etc.. Crafting Tool, NOT your usual Food & Chem Tool) and look in the Generic Items section. In the place where you normally find the Dice, for example, there should be a new schematic for the Decoder. That's the one to use to see what sub-components you need to make that decoder. The rebel contact gave you the hint on whom you might find those components. Good luck!

Thread hijack alert!

Anyway, I just re-read my post and OMG my grammar makes me sound like some illiterate, but let me express myself more clearly:

My point about urgency is that if they are in fact coding in the CH changes now (and they are, I assure you)... then it would be nice if they can change the requirement from being "Surgical Droid" to "Non-Combat droid". Otherwise when the November patch comes all of us with non-surgical droids are going to be stuck if you know what I mean.

Yes, surgical droids probably are more aligned with medical professions... BUT

a) variety is the spice of life... and every medic on the planet using a surgical droid is boring.
b) many of us have already invested heavily in non-surgicals

So Doctors.... please post your support that "any non-combat droid" can be pulled out at the same time as a pet.. not just "surgical droids".

Vote now!

I'm a master Doctor on Starsider,

One big thing is clothes, get some +'s to trement wounds ect, they help alot, get a med driod that can do it all, i would of pay 50k if it was good and did it's job, i use an R3 unit, i can craft ect, it just does it all

the main things i don't like about Doctor "and plz if i am wroung some 1 plz tell me why so i can understand your point of view"

How come i can't stop a bleed on "myself" faster then on some 1 eles most of the time?, how come sometimes i get such a crappy buff on myself yet i buff other peoplefor 2.8k buff's i mean it makes me laught sometimes to tell you the truth , I'm the one with the skill's and yet when i'm doing it to myself i don't even get the job done, umm, I think since i can't pull out my probot and driod at the same time that my med driod should be able to tank just as good as a probot, make it fair? i mean i don't want "it" to do mass damage just sit there and take a beaten while i shoot them, I use a non-ch pet, "who doesn't? we have to lol" umm or give a Doctor a pet only a Doctor can use,something that like has auto heal on to heal you when you get hit, but has mind drain and you have to supply the med's , I think that would be cool stuff hehe "sorry i am just thinking anything and everything to toss out there"

not to metion crafting stations are a joke, usen a driod is way better, tons of things are just stacked Vs Doctor's and i can't seem to understand why? I mean where the one's who heal... we own lol we should act like it, i am so sick of people just spaming " i have wounds witch Doc wants the Xp" well a real Doc does it b/c that's his job and you should get a bill at the end, just like a real Doc!, people need to stop looking at Doc's like where a pet, " at least on rori, outpost" people show alot of Love to the 3 or so Master Doc's that hang around alot, I'm there just about 24/7 unless i have to leave

anyhow that's just my 2 cent's

Sorry about the Hijack Soren. Let me say, though, that al indicators I have seen are that they actually are NOT working in this part of the coding for it yet. And November is almost guaranteed to NOT be the date, even for the 1 pet only thing to show up. At this rate it looks to be December at the earliest.

It does look like the 1 pet part will be going in first, though. All o the toehr certifications or posibilities for other pets looks to be a later addition to the code. So we'll all get mega-nerfed at first.

I know it's not super urgent.... but they are rolling out "mini patches" on Test Center now.

And you know how hard it is for them to change something once it's been coded in.

It would just be a shame to force every medic/doctor/combat medic on the server to use the same chassis all the time.
