healing

Is there a faction that has cheaper healing? Atm im paying like 7k per pak

[absimiliard]

The cost of healing depends on several factors. If I recall correctly the main ones are:

1. Your reputation with the faction in question.
and
2. How wounded you are. (ex.: it costs less to heal your first wound, bringing you from 9 health to 10 health, than it does to heal your fifth wound, which would bring you from 5 health to 6 health)

Implications are two-fold: first, try to heal at planets where the House/Syndicate loves you, and second, if possible heal multiple wounds one at a time.

Im a crazy explorer for steel and have rep of 33 n lvl 2 in military. Crew dying left,right n centre lol while im coping a hammering. Still costing a fortune to heal.

I think you get wounded less if you take more crew with you. Exo Pod and Smuggler/Scouts help, too. Also, you need to spend points in Strength to avoid wounds, I think.

The cheapest healing comes down to is $1000 per wound. When you do have higher RP and rank, this cost is reasonably consistent even if you have to heal 7 or 8 points of damage. It's funny, fixing your ship's hull is cheaper than fixing your body . It's a shame you can't bring in bits of your last crew (BYO replacement body parts). I mean to say, I'm sure that one ear is as good as another to a Doctor Technologist.

whats the "excellent patient" award get you? 50% regen something?

[Cory Trese]

Excellent patient gives you a 50% chance the Technologist Doctor will not leave. So, if you had to pay 4,000 a wound, with Excellent Patient the Captain could heal 2 (8,000) and then heal 2 (4,000) and instead of paying 16,000 he only pays 12,000.

to get the price to come down the captain should spend a few weeks in the spice hall.
