Kind of newbie question. Some of my skills are pretty low (ex. doctor is 4 [+0]), so I had a second Officer learn "doctor". Do they not stack? Secondly, the [+0] is from skill buffs, yes? Posting my current status and crew screenshots (The job icons are a big help!) below:   Thanks in advance for help and advice. |

MintDragon - it is on our list to better document and explain the pile of numbers shown on that page. Seems likely that it is another caching problem. Reopen the game? But, as you did not print the actual stats of your characters, I can't be sure what the value should be?

I mean, I see the issues in the screenshots, but I cannot reproduce. I have spent about 30 minutes promoting doctors in every order and combination i could think of, even re-creating your entire crew. I would never get the first screenshot after the second ... I always had 8 Doctor.  The [+0] number is from Officer skills, not jobs. |

The only other unusual thing is I did have 7-8 deaths/departures over the game so far, one of the recruits is Steel Song, while everyone else is Thulan. |

But you didn't post the summary. It probably says 8? Send the saved files if you still think it is a bug.

The second Doctor is "On Patrol" so job skills are inactive. That's why you're seeing 4 Doctor -- you have one Doctor-Soldier-Bounty Hunter who's on ship defense duty. You're getting his Doctor Talents, but not ship skills.

That takes me back to an old question/debate I had with you regarding those skills and if they got used when an officer was assigned to on patrol vs on duty. Looks like if you want all your Doctor/Explorer/whatever skills to be used while zipping around the galaxy that the officers have to be in on station even if your main intent is to use them in crew combat. |

This may be my fault by mistakenly stating some rules about Skills and On Patrol. I will check with Cory on the exact rules and the get Rules Explanation thread update and make sure I don't spout any more lies. YES. CURSE IT ALL. Can you use examples in your rules fix? Can the examples be along the lines of 'combat medic' who should take that talent? why? 'doctor' who should take that talent? why? I am flying around in my ship and I keep needing to make Doctor saves. Can my combat medic help? My away team is getting battered. Can My doctor help? I am Exploring/Patrolling/Spying/Blockading and am getting damaged. Who helps, Doctor, Combat Medic, or both? Does it ever make sense to have a Doctor job in an on-Patrol crewmember? which sort of crewmember, does it matter? why? Does it ever make sense to have a Combat Medic job in an on-station crew member? which sortof crewmember, does it matter? why? |
