I'm attempting to do the pox storyline and on my mission list it says that I have sufficient medical+doctor to avoid getting infected. Yet it still says during mission steps that I don't have a high enough value to avoid infections and I do in fact get infected.
I'm flying a Sword Battlecruiser w/ 42 crew, and it says I need 49 medical rating + doctor combined to avoid infections according to the amount of crew I have. I have 6 medical rating and 72 doctor skill onboard. I figured 78 > 49. Do I need more medical rating or something?

I had this question also. It turns out that having the required rating is still not a guarantee of not getting infected, it just makes it less likely. I have never had any crew killed by pox, you just get another trait with some minor plus/minus in abilities. (I play on normal difficulty and it is possible there is a death save involved, but crew can still die on this difficulty.)

Thanks for posting this bug! The text in missions was switched, it was reporting that you didn't have adequate rating when you did, and visa versa. Now fixed for next! |

Is it still true that you can get infected even when you exceed the rating? startradersrpg.proboards.com/post/206235/threaddaveal - if you check the Rumor details for First Infections, Plague Blockade or Outbreak -- each has a % chance that a crew will get infected if you land there, regardless of ship's medical rating. |

Yes, by the Rumors. Your crew mingle with the starport crews and head into the spice hall. They are unprotected. So this is not related to missions at all. In missions, you are going directly into contact with something contagious. Then, you have a focus for your medical equipment and doctor skill to prevent infection at that point. If you don't want to get infected, get the right medical rating / doctor skill and NEVER land on world with First Infections or an Outbreak. |

Is the reverse true? If I have insufficient medical rating but I never land on planets with these rumors, then I cannot get infected.

Sorry, so if I never land on any of these planets, then my crew may spontaneously get infected. How is that possible?

Sigh. So confused.
Glad we were able to help the OP!
If you do missions, see mission criteria about infection.
If you land on Rumor zones, see rumor criteria about infection.
Please read text in game. Hope it helps!

OK. Then, if a player never lands on any of these rumor planets and never takes any of these missions, they will never get infected.

Missions or landing on zones. Avoid those, avoid infection.
Hopefully that cleared everything up!
