i know you did not ask for my advice, but being the ego-maniacal, self-centered, loquacious jerk that I am, I figure I will offer it anyway
with the 18 points you have left, I would suggest you take up Novice Medic so you can use stim Bs. You can get up to 400+ with a 5 med usage. These will be plenty in combination with TKM to keep you alive and well trough some REALLY tough fights.

Wow you mean instead of grinding a rancor mission for 30k in about 5 mins I can hire myself out as a tank for 1k an hour. Where do I sign up?
FYI make a FOTM TKM/MD with novice scout and you can do everything you already mentioned: harvest organics, buff people (including yourself), and be pretty much the perfect tank.

I don't think he was suggesting making that the primary revenue stream, just another way to earn some extra credits on the side. It could work, but being in a group is much more lucrative.

As a TKM Doc I have hired myself out to groups in the past. Sometimes making anywhere from 100k-500k for one quest. Generally I've been hired for DWB, Corvette missions, and when it was new the Geo caves.
Not a bad way to earn some chump change. You could easily surpass that on Dantooine but it was more fun going on an adventure with a group.

Rangers have a skill called rescue that makes the creature (or creatures) de-agro the target and attack you instead.
Well, meleers have something that does the exact thing without ranger, its called taunt

medi= medic. lol. My bad, I'm TKM, so I already have MEDItation. I have Novice Medic and Diagnostics so I can heal a bit faster. My theory is I can always buy better Stim B's...but I can' buy faster ones.

Id say try some acklay runs at the biolab. or just hang out in the merc room and get some good loot down there, they can drop an exceptional rifle or legendary once in a while. the spawn has been crazy lately so lots of loot there and the acklay can drop some good bone thats sell up to 10-15mil each for a 310 max dmg bone depending on the server your on. otherwise maybe set up some heavy harvesters, resources are goin for a lot right now on my server, i dont know about any others.

Beginning Translation
Rangers are often times paid by crafters to gather organinc resources like meat, hide and bone
Doctors are paid large sums to buff player characters to aid in their adventures
Teras Kasi Artists might consider offering their services as the 'tank' in a group of players who need someone to rush in head-on into the depths of the fray to draw the attention of the bad guys away from the rest of the group. for their services they might consider charging somewhere in the area of 1000 credits per hour.
Ending Transmission
-=Closing Translation Program=-
i have often times volunteered my time to new players who are medic hopefuls. i will go out with them and 'tank' as you suggested and allow them to heal me as the fights progress. i am getting unarmed / combat XP and they are getting medic XP - mutually beneficial.
i cannot see however a group, or even an individual needing to PAY a player to tank. they can either group and share the profits of the mission, or they can just split the loot when they have finished whatever adventure they had embarked upon...

/agree
The notion of paying a TKM a set rate per hour would not sit well with many groups. You can certainly tank for a group and then just take a share of the loot as a group member, but that is really as far asI see the idea of a payed "tanker" going. Ranged professionals(which would be your target market group)at master level, really don't need tanks if they choose not to have them, for Master Riflemen this is especially true as they can kill anything before it gets within striking distance, most times. Like Neo said, the only people you could "shop your skills" to, probably, would be new players. Of course, they could not afford your 1000cr/hr rate, which would be the dilemma of this idea in practice, I guess.
