Medic Archive

I have some very newbie questions about medic if you guys could help me out I'm just getting started in SWG.

First of all, I gather that combat-medic is a reasonable profession to aim for so that's what I'm trying to do. But I created a human character and now I'm wishing I'd picked something more "exotic" than just human. Any comments on race for combat-medic?

Secondly, I didn't like the way my character looked so I created another one and skipped the tutorial this time and it looks like I don't have all the function keys mapped. Is there a problem with skipping the tutorial? I guess I just setup the F6-F9 function keys myself to do the medic specific stuff.

Finally, what am I supposed to be doing first? I guess I need basic marksman training and then go out and kill stuff.

Thanks!

Well, I can't speak for races since most races are pretty much evenly matched in bonuses. My preference is Twi'lek and Human.

As far as skipping the tutorial, yes, you have to map the hotkeys yourself.

And on what to do once in the world, that's a personal preference. You could go out and kill things. My medic decided instead to make meds and heal people. Although his healing went up slowly, his Organic Chemistry hit level 4 real quick. Another player nicknamed him "the Pharmacist" since he was good at making meds but sucked at healing. In this game there are so many different ways you can work up a character. Mine was to go the Pharmacology path and make more meds than anything else. They sell easily(as long as ALL players sell them at what they're worth and not 1/10th of the price). And I'm having MORE fun playing my medic than I do playing my fighting classes.

Zabrak has the most bonuses to mind regen, Mon-Cal has the best overall mind ability.
