Several professions have had their game mechanics explained, primarily combat and trading related, could you elaborate more on the medical profession and its gameplay as it's considered one of the more important professions according to the Hope class Endeavor variant article on CommLink. How are the Cutlass Red and the Hospital ship, and therefore medical module, positioned to play a significant role in combination with the medical role and the medical game mechanics of the character?asked by Dutch Bar Citizen
TL;DRThe medical profession is still very early with no unified design yet, so the developer can't give details beyond saying it's coming and more will be shared once it's firmer.
This is a tough one to answer because it's still very early. It's … we've been looking into science. We've been looking into what the Endeavor can do. There is a lot of ideas but still we need a proper gameplay loop. This needs to become fun for the player to do. And it will kind of come together with all of the things that can happen to the character and how you can recover from those things and all the "rescue" part of things where you get called "Oh, this is an emergency. You have to go there." But there is no unified design right now where we want to take this 100% so calling it would be a bit early. - I'm sure it will be … you guys will hear about this as we move through the careers. One of the careers we have on the line is the medical one. But it's still not … set in stone yet. And as the other careers make it to the live servers, we'll also learn a lot more about what you guys like to do and this will influence the new careers coming in. It's there. It's coming. But I can't give any details without maybe upsetting certain people if stuff changes in the meantime. - Yeah. It's a fragile thing. People love their … they dream in one direction and then if you change that later they're going to be upset about it. - And we don't want don't want to do that. It's … yeah, it's coming. It's getting there. As soon as there is more details we'll make it public as per usual. That's what we do.
