Medic Archive

Firstly, hello to my fellow medics. I played a medic during Beta, on Bloodfin in Coronet, Corellia. Medic is my favourite profession by far.

These are my ideas for improving the medic profession:

1). /diagnose - Yes we need this command.

2). A Food and Chemical Station inside the Medical Center.

3). The ability to sign on in a Medical Center. This would give a list to people entering the medical center of the medics "on call". They can then send a /tell if the medics aren't around. I spend a lot of time sampling and chatting to entertainers in Cantinas, but would not mind running back to the medical center if needed. Your name would be removed from the list if you went offline or caught a shuttle to another city / planet.

4).The Medical Center paying medics for the wounds they heal. This would ONLY be done inside medical centers for wounds. This could be 1 credit per 5 wounds healed (exact amounts can be argued about). This would solve the credit problem that medics have and also the fact that we really aren't tipped properly considering the time it takes to get resources and make the stim / wound packs.

I read what Holocron wrote, and partially agree with it. By all means allow the medical forage to be more useful for simpack-A, but only for that Stimpack. This would give new medics the ability to pregress quicker and not immediately need artisan skills.

Well these are my ideas, you may or may not agree but at least we can be seen to be trying to improve this profession.

PS. I'm now on Eclipse server, so say Hi to me sometime.

I think 1, 2, and 3 are great ideas and should be implemented. Number 4 though, I'm not so sure about. If everyone knew that we were getting paid by the medical center, it would just be a good excuse not to tip. And even if they payment was decent, I would miss that player-to-player interaction. Last night I had some people paying me in Organics or Inorganics, one guy gave me some camp kits, and another paid with a pledge to make me some clothing. Barter is a lot of fun and I would miss it a lot if it were reduced to an automatic trickle of credits from the server.

The first three are great though.
