Doctors and Medics a Mythic?

[iFrame]

Impossible to find them. Any way to force the game to friggin spawn them besides the achievement that gives a doc contact at character creation?

Im close to 40hrs, none of my saves had me get a single doc(except the crap vanilla doc when your start the game with facepalming attribute spread). Closes i had was a doc intro from the stupid piece of crap Princess Charr who i had to spam tons of missions for cos main plot made me -80 personal rep with her. By the time i get good enuff rep to buy the doc intro, its gone, somehow it got replace with another idiot useless contact intro.

Also medics, seen only 1 and that is Zette, the aunt of the chick that gonna die in main plot.

I've seen every other class except docs.

I have crap RNG?
Any way i can stimulate the game AI to spawn them docs and medics, especially docs?(Like making a combat oriented player character will encourage docs and medics to spawn)

Yeah, docs and combat medics are among the rarer recruits, especially early in the game. (Eventually, you will get some guaranteed Chaesin contacts during the Plague Era.)

Besides watching for contacts who you can recruit from, keep an eye on your rumor list (which is always a good idea in general.) During an Academy Graduation rumor, you can recruit doctors directly from the spice hall.

You can also make your own doctor/medic officer to replace the one you start with. Every time your recruitment talents come off cooldown, recruit pistoleers or (if you've got a contact for them) spies until you find one with good stats (ability scores, initiative, and ideally a strong bonus in Doctor and/or Evasion skills). Then promote them, and build a Doctor/Combat Medic/Pistoleer (or Spy) officer.

There are a number of contacts that can give doctor/combat medic, but they are rare. Here is the info: https://startraders.gamepedia.com/Contacts

Also, keep an eye out for Academy Graduation Rurmors as these allow for Doctor recruits straight out of the spice hall.

Also, keep in mind once you promote someone to Officer, you can train them into Doctor very easily.

If you need them for crew combat you'll need to multiclass either way, so just teaching one of your officers to do it is sufficient. It's tad worse if you want to have a couple on board to up doctor rating of your ship and add some spare life-saving/healing talents.

I had them appear left, right and center during my recent military officer playthrough from patrolling (I had three on my contact list early game), so you just also had some bad rolls it seems. The game can be frustrating like that sometimes, having a chill late game now and wanted to do some Xeno-killing missions, but all my contacts for that died off.

Depending on your jobs for officer/crew/captain the amount of contacts you accumulate doesn't really pickup until mid game for most standard play throughs. Card games (mostly exploring)and merchants have access to talents that gain more contacts early game and quicker.

If not I rely on the other card games plus etechs and navigator talents which are both level 8 talents. So for non officer thats more like level 11 overall as crew levels up slower. So those games I might not gain lots of contacts until captain is around level 11-15 which is midgame just starting my 2nd ship etc.

I've never had a problem finding doctor contacts. But if you are not actively trying to use the game to get you contacts then it will be lot harder to find.
