I don't remember where I read it but somewhere I read that Med Units
are not used in the new version of VGAP4. Is this true? Are the Med
Units a carry over from the other VGA Planets game?

Can anyone confirm this?

They were originally used to run cities. The Beta userseventually
persuaded Tim they were an unecessary complication. By then, they were
also being used for specialist purposes by the RCS (a third party race),
so they were not dropped entirely from the game. But for most players,
they are useless.

Birds still require them for the nanovirus weapon too... right?

There was a recent discussion in the main BB at DREWHEAD's about this.
I think I even may have started this question. The end result was that
the Feds, Birds, RCS and somebody still use them. Overall however, they
are useless to most races.

Correct, the Lotus need 4 per turn and all ships with Organic Armor need
it to regrow the Armor after it is damaged.

IIRC Meds are used for the Bird Nanovirus Bomb on the DW-G.

Bye-Bye JoSch.

Are you sure anybody really needs them??

Atleast Enforcers don't need those even it is said everywhere that
Hawking's retrainig uses Meds...

I have trained about 1 million enemy colonists now to troopers with no
change in the number of meds

Well, no I am not sure. I'm only going on what people have told me. I
always thought that only 1 race needed them.

Organic ships don't use DUR for armor?... and, they don't use repair
unit to repair Armor???

It is my understanding that resorts do not nee med units any more. Client
says they do but Tim's help docs say no.

They need to be present, but are not consumed.

Birds need them for Nano-virus.

RCS need for Organic ships.

Fed? No idea. I don't believe resorts use them anymore. Has anyone
tested this?

Since when? Dracs are Organic Armor destroyers (Solar Gamma Ray).

Last I played them they didn't. Was there a new Race pack release I
missed?

By the way: Dracs have ships with organic armor, too.

The Dracs do have an Organic Ship, not ships with organic armor
