Thread: OBSERVATION & SOLUTION: Medics and Cloning
Pfft...The economy is already screwed up, and you want to make it even worse, I see. Armorsmiths charging 20k for a suit of armor that makes you easier to kill, and weapons for the same amount that drain your action pool like a Hummer and gas...Now this. Yes, cloning may be a little bit cheap, but trust me..that doesn't stop anyone from taking a trip to the medical facility, and is no reason to further screw the economy. People still get wounded regardless of whether or not they clone...You see, there's a neat little attack called Health Shot that many higher-level npc's (and players)like to use..and guess what: It wounds constitution like you've never seen. These wounds don't magically disappear when you die even when you've cloned..So do all other wounds. Cloning basically prevents that dramatic drop of the primary HAM values when you're slain.
Some of you also sound like the medics who sit on their rump in the medical center whenever they play..I've been in many a few medical centers filled to the brim with people who have wounds out the arse. Maybe you should also look into grouping with a hunting party as well..There are many opportunities to get medical xp and money outside of the medical center. Take advantage of them, and quit your whining. If you don't want to, you're kind of screwing yourself...but whatever works for you, I guess. Bottom line: Raising cloning cost according to skill would be a terrible mistake...It's surprisingly difficult for a combatant to raise cash as fast as the snobby artisans out there who charge the buyer his arm and his leg (Literally). So many other things suck up cash...weapons, travel, etc...
So, pipe down..relax..You won't get any more tips from a raised cloning cost than you do now...probably due to the fact that most would realize that it was medics who pushed for it, thus leading in a galaxy-wide disliking of medics. Heh....besides, the people who do tip you usually tip you considerably well.
