If you're planning to be more then just a Mechanic/Medic, make sure to make special bind/alias's so that you can inform those in your sector that you are currently playing this role. This will help in not being attacked on sight for simply being a specific faction. Also, to help others feel more comfortable, DO NOT attack other players while playing this role, otherwise you'll have to watch your back constantly.
