This video is a guide to playing the medic profession in the game Star Citizen. While other gameplay loops in the game focus on making money, being a space medic offers unique and rewarding encounters. When a player’s health reaches zero, they become incapacitated instead of instantly dying. At this point, they can choose to respawn without their gear or send out a medical beacon for rescue. As a medic, your goal is to deliver a professional service by reviving downed players and treating their injuries.
Medical gameplay in Star Citizen is still basic, but recent updates to the loot system have made it more likely for players to request rescue instead of respawning. Injuries range from tier 1 to tier 3, with more severe injuries causing debuffs. Medical beds can be used to treat injuries, with higher tier beds being able to treat more severe injuries. However, injuries can also be masked temporarily using drugs dispensed through med pens or med guns.
To prepare for a medical rescue mission, it is recommended to have heavy armor and suitable weapons to deal with potential hostiles. Any ship can be used for rescue missions, but ships like the Anvil Pisces c8r and Drake Cutlass Red are popular choices due to their medical capabilities. The Cutlass Red is recommended for its size 2 drive, which allows for quicker travel and the ability to carry a ground vehicle for bunker rescues. It is also advised to buddy up with a friend for better chances of success and to avoid falling victim to traps set by malicious players.
While waiting for rescue calls, it is suggested to engage in other activities like running bunkers or engaging in combat missions. When a rescue beacon is activated, communication with the patient is crucial. Opening a party chat with the patient and knowing their situation can help plan the rescue more effectively. It is also wise to be cautious and transfer valuable loot to a station before responding to a beacon, as there is a small risk of being lured into a trap. Finally, the video emphasizes the importance of proper planning and preparation in the medic profession.
