No kidding. This really ticks me off, especially as I play with people that are both Imps and Rebels... I can't heal any of them unless they go off duty...
I wish they'd change it so there woudld either be a "Heal anyway" button, or do like in real combat (in theory...) and have medics be able to heal both sides and have them not attackable when healing or something...

By doing so you create a healer that can not be touched.
and that's a problem how?
my medic/doc is a non-combatant by choice. I'm not rebel (anymore), I'm not imperial -- I'm a doctor, my job is to patch holes, not make them...
my doctor also happens to be an "entrepreneur"... for a price, I'll heal, cure or rez anyone... and yes, there's precident for this kind of medic -- the smart combatants leave these people alone because you never know when you'll be wanting those services yourself 
money is its own loyalty...

Sounds nice and but the truth been is that even if one person don't abuse such a system, there would be 50 people that will in their place. Having a healer that can't be touched when healing is simply wrong, if a friend of yours is been attacked by another opposing player, you would naturally heal your friend. This would develop into a heavy exploitation..
If you want to be a non-combatant, you should not be standing in a battle field, been a medic is no magic barrier of protection, medics do die in wars and the game is set in the centre of a civil war where fighting happens everywhere.
It's up to the combatants to change their status, a whole (gasp) 5mins of time, less then what was spent at shuttleports, to onleave (SF can go straight to onleave now)to receive assistance and healing. It's now a choice, combat orientated medic will have to be in combat mode and will be in the field with others, or the combatants going to need to change their setting to get assistances of the non-combatant. It's as simple as that and I do not see why we should bend over backwards more for people too lazy to spare five minutes to get fixed up and buffed, they should be take responsibility for their toons, not us.
