changing my template from the melee stacker to a rifleman/tkm.
however, i am in a bit of a quandry. right now i have mastered marksman for the extra speed. when i finally finish, i will have 18 sp left. (mmarksman, mrifleman, tkm)
the question being: should those 18 pts go into scout (exploration) or medic? both are valuable. but which is more important. i know that it depends on style of play but i am looking for opinions.
of course, if in my travels i aquire the necessary speed tapes, this becomes a moot point. in that case, where is the best place (generally, i know it is random) to get skill tapes?
thanks in advance for all the advice

I had to make the same choice: NScoutvs NMedic. I tried it both ways.Scout let me kite better,harvest creatures and make camps. Not bad for soloing creatures you plan to run from, andok for picking up a bit of scout xp to turn in for sence (?) FS xp. I though camping was a waste of my buffs.
Medic let me heal the damage I was going to take no matterhow I triedto prevent it.
Medic won, hands down.

as Vei Mi said medic is uber useful. I myself have medic butI would be tempted to go the Scout route more with your template as it allows you to kite krayts and Night Sisters better(then you don't need to heal) and you also can harvest what you kill for a small boost to your income on the side. (unless it is avian meat - then a big boost ^_^) Medic is better if you intended to do more tk then rifle, scout is better in this situation if you do more rifle then tk.
As for skill tapes the Borgle Bat cave is still probably the top place for constant spawn of tapes - others are purely looted off of npcs- the higher the level of npc the better the chance that the attachment will be higher level (that is not to say they will be)
