A destroyed Idris might leave a vast wake of severely injured crew members floating in the debris, with only limited oxygen left in their personal evacuation suits. With an ample supply of hospital beds, Hope-class Endeavors are also ideally suited to tackle a variety of rescue missions. Upon arrival in the hospital it’s up to the Endeavor’s crew to employ their expertise to try and save the patient, with the ultimate outcome contributing to their medical reputation. In such cases, the party in need would attempt to quickly close the gap with the Endeavor and then either request access to dock in its landing bay or simply EVA into the external hospital pressure lock. In addition to respawn services, an Endeavor that has enabled its ID Beacon – thus broadcasting to others its position, services offered, prices, and reputational information – can also serve as a field hospital for any player or NPC requiring urgent medical attention. The greatest demand for Hope-class Endeavors will therefore be in those areas where lots of player deaths are occurring, but of course a valuable and unescorted medical ship in a dangerous area will be a tempting target for pirates and other less savory types. As previously noted, Endeavors with an attached Medical Bay may serve as respawn points for players that have died, and the associated Hangar Bay allows those players to – for a price premium – have one of their existing ships or a new purchase delivered quickly so that they can get right back into the action. The Hope-class Endeavor opens up an entirely new range of possibilities for the aspiring healer. Depending upon the cause of death, a well-trained Medic can occasionally restart a patient’s heart, although death may soon reoccur if the root causes are not quickly addressed. The effects of more serious injuries can often be slowed so that there is a better chance of reaching a hospital where more advanced medical apparatus can improve the chances of survival. They’ll be able to perform field triage that can heal some injuries entirely and mitigate others enough so that the injured party is at least more functional. On the FPS combat front Medics will be invaluable. The medical profession is one of the more important occupations within Star Citizen, and it’s intended to be one of the larger and more flexible roles. Enjoy! With the Hope class ship, do you see Medical as being a complete profession? Special thanks to Persistent Universe Director Tony Zurovec for addressing questions about the Endeavor’s science and medical mechanics. Today, we’ll be answering questions collected on the forums. You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers! Last week, we kicked off a concept sale for the new Endeavor science ship and its modules.
