So I was in the Coronet medical center tonight healing some people and crafting some meds and I remember thinking to myself that my heals seemed abnormally weak. Then I thought, "Well, it's probably beacuse I've got mixed Stim-D's, E's, and C's in my pack, and it's just ocassionally hitting the C's." But then I specifically put some D's on my hotbar and made sure it was using them, and they still seemed a little weak.

I crafted another and made sure the power was high, and it just wasn't healing the way I was used to. So then about 5 minutes later, my heals jumped back up to much more powerful again. And do you know why??? Because I put my crafting droid (who had a level 2 med chip) away who had been sitting out!!!!

My jaw dropped. I'm in the medical center which is supposed to allow heals of 100% effectiveness but the fact that I pulled out a droid with a "lower" rating actually took higher priority than the med center itself! Not only that, but I think it was affecting everyone nearby because I saw some pretty weak heals from high level docs. I'm not _totally_ sure on the affecting others part, but it would be easy to verify. I know other players inherit the abilities of a nearby droid -- so it definitely makes sense that they'd be affected by it.

So if that's really how it works... just think how many PvPers will be running around having theirlevel 1 med droids follow the enemy docs & medics to suppress their heal power? lol That's actually pretty funny if you think about it.

But I think the worse situation is that some player can either accidentallypull out his low level med droid in the hospital and affect himself (or worse - doing it intentionally to affect other players).

I'll see if I can verify whether or not this happens to other players. Until then, it's something for everyone to chew on.

yea this has been a problem for acouple of weeks now I believe.

Sometimes it will affect other players and sometimes it wont. /shrug

Will be nice when it gets fixed.

*nods* So it's a known issue. Okay. Well that's good at least.

I still get a kick ofthe idea of having a huge battlefield with "suppression droids" running around everywhere.

And then there's the meanie who sits in the medical center with his level 1 medical droid and he puts it away just as he heals someone and then re-calls it out again. "Weak heals? Nah, you're crazy. My heals are working just fine!" lol
