I'm flying a Juror class equipped with a Medical Chamber, I have a level 4 doctor on board. Really got pasted during my first ship combat.
If the medical chamber is implemented, I didn't see any messages of its effects?

It's not chatty. But your doctor was able to heal people a lot while you were flying around between planets (or possibly on landfall, I am not sure about that) more than if you, like I did once, decide to toss that component from your ship's inventory to make room for a prison cell. I think if you have no doctors points in the pool it does nothing, but I am not sure about that. If you need room for a prison cell, I recommend you toss something else.  |

I think if you have no doctors points in the pool it does nothing, but I am not sure about that. If you need room for a prison cell, I reccommend you toss something else. Excellent logic per usual. The first thing I do when starting a game is to promote one of my level(3) officers and give him/her 2 or 3 ranks in doctor. And I can see the saves scrolling on the status block even on ships without the Medical Chamber, which lead to my foggy 3:00 a.m. confusion about the Medical Chamber. One thing for sure the Juror Class is built for fast assault, it even has a special boarding unit (don't know if that is working yet), and it stands to reason with such a small crew healing would be a top priority. It's got engine speed(25) nothing but a scout can out run it. Great advice, I couldn't take the missions giving an ambassador a joy ride across half the quadrants. They pay well. So maybe I'll rip it out and put in a luxury cabin if possible. Thanks buddy +1 K  |

I kill the mass dampener. I think a Juror has one of those, at any rate that component gets the ax on a lot of my ships.

I thought that thing somehow gave you more space for components. (Is my level(1) Noob showing again?). If it isn't needed, with the Juror Class small mass, any extra space I can get is great! |

If you want to put heavier components on your ship, and your mass goes over, you will need to stick in mass dampeners to cover the extra weight. But it doesn't sound like that is your problem right now, whereas a medical chamber is darn useful ...

grävlingThanks. Looks like I'm going to have some fun swapping components once I get a grip on earning enough cash. Boarding results can be soooo expensive! I'm flying Cadar Military going after their enemies. Do you think a Bounty Hunter using the Juror Class for boarding makes more money? Do Edicts create negative rep? I can't remember if they are legally sanctioned death/capture warrants.

Get lots more Pilot before you hunt things down in ships. Due to the vanishing component bug, I know very little about what things on the ship are best to upgrade and in what order. But unless your piloting is near 200% it's too accursedly expensive to do ship combat. For you and me who are learning. No doubt fallen and Cory Trese could teach us many things, but ... Due to the vanishing prison cell problem, I never got much time in playing BH. Ask Brutus Aurelius who was having a blast playing them, he probably can set you straight on the best way to develop one. |

I personally haven't had any issues at all upgrading my ship in v1.0.25

I personally haven't had any issues at all upgrading my ship in v1.0.25 Me either. It's great. But I didn't do ship upgrades pre 0.25 once I knew what the bug was, so I am woefully far from expertise in the field of 'what do you need a mass dampener for, and can I remove it' and similar questions. for now. |

I think overall the idea for Medical Rating on board a ship is to ...
- Reduce Crew Injury
- Increase Crew Death Save during Explorer/Boarding Defense
- Act as a multiplier for Doctor Skills
- Provide a way to deal with ill Contacts / Crew / Passengers
For example, in the future there may be Missions that require a Luxury Cabin AND a Rating 5 Medical Bay. Your passenger is very sick.
