So with USSP, PDV, and TSF having special researches (including CC i belive? but mostly for special ships) it could be awesome to have the same for MD, including special ships and some other items. This thread is for adding crazy ideas, in hopes some new stuff could be born for the MD to mess around. I'll start with these:

  • Medical Mech: A suit, similar to a CLARK but made for medical, having modules for shooting syringes like a syringe gun and having an internal tank to carry chemicals, either for recharging syringes or to help with treatments while also protecting the pilot

  • Syringe rifle: An "upgrade" of the syringe gun, (for some reason syringe gun can't be in pocket, please do), essentially takes more space and cannot be concealed as easy, but uses medium syringes that have 10u of space (basically normal syringes won't work)

  • Patient mech: A mech that is controlled by a pilot, that has a space for carrying a single body, either crit, dead or alive, the use being for obviously safe transport of patients

(medical mechs won't be very protective, in the sense of being slightly easier to take down if you do focus fire it, they're lighter so they're also slightly fast)

  • Pod shooter: (i lack a better name), essentially a station/ship gun, that allows to shoot a pod containing chemicals to inject inside a ship, they will inject a smoke, depending on the pod loaded in (this could range from sleeping gas, to toxic gas). (The smoke cloud won't be big naturally, this is to basically ensure people do properly aim with these, but could still be helpful to negate a certain area)

i have tried to look around for any similar suggestions and i belive i didn't see them (might be blind) but feel free to correct me if i am wrong

So, the medical mech would basicly be an odysseus from ss13, with a sleeper and syringe gun equiped.
The ship gun could just be a modified granade thrower, with medical being able to research special granades for it?

That's a thing in ss13!?

tropic goblet
#

but

#

that might be better too

#

which could open of a playstyle of: attemping to open up their hull, then slip in the nades

#

but i think that smoke does go away when there's like the space getting in? similar to fire

#

atleast it makes sense that way and it does keep it balanced regardless

#

We already have armor piercing rounds, no?
so just have an armor piercing granade.
This wont work on any ships with many layers of armor, making it less viable in PVP too, so that would be neat

#

I could probably mash something like that together in a horrid abomination pretty easily.

tropic goblet
#

atleast not that i am aware

#

now adding the special ships for MD i will be honest: i have 0 idea

oblique bloom
#

Pretty sure i could steal the wall piercing ship gun code, make it do no damage and where it usually would explode it simply use a modular granade prefilled with... stuff instead.

tropic goblet
#

i am playing a lot of DoC and this gameplay is making me realise the stuff MD would love to have as fun gimmicks

#

Should be easy enough to cobble together, probably would be buggy as fuck tho, since ship guns needed quite a lot of testing till they worked with armor piercing.

tropic goblet
#

this could also open for more stuff for other factions too

#

since like we don't have anything like that

#

instead of gas, just normal nades

#

wait

#

we don't really have any weapons that are like for killing crew in enemy ships, do we?

#

in the sense of

#

ONLY the crew

#

not the ship itself

oblique bloom
#

Some shipguns are armor piercing and explosive im pretty sure?

#

But yeah, nothing really anti crew

#

EMP, i guess

tropic goblet
#

ooh i see

#

true

#

that gave me an idea of a laser like in faster than light, that basically is an anti life laser that only hurts organic stuff

oblique bloom
#

But i dont really want people to just be able to kill you even easier inside your ship, so i would keep it to gas or smoke nades

tropic goblet
#

yea

oblique bloom
#

So you can simply ignore em with internals

tropic goblet
#

i think that's better

#

i did use the example of faster than light for like clarifying it further the idea

tropic goblet
#

maybe like sharpnel?

oblique bloom
#

Ah yes.
Pipebomb. But with needles.

#

That would probably not even be that hard to make either...

tropic goblet
#

oh and i think i am going off rail a lot with those, that idea of AP nades did make me too excited-

oblique bloom
#

I should look into this before i say any of the code is compatible tho

#

Not like ss14 code is... perfect.

tropic goblet
#

it's ok

#

as long as it's possible and not too much of a hassle, it's nice

#

lemme think more silly stuff..

#

this is mostly to like see how possible would it be for some special research for MD

#

I think that MD getting more stuff to work with would be great, I think it’s one of the best examples of a faction hiring both mercs and civs.

#

They have needed a good combat suit that’s not the ATU ones for a while.

tropic goblet
#

my focus (personally) is like more medical special stuff, to justify the reasonings for MD coming and to hopefully make hte job easier

#

yesterday as DoC it was never in between, it was either really quiet

#

or everyone and their 5 generations of children rushing to MD due to cancer from the monolith

Talking to the other medics and stuff.

tropic goblet
#

it's also the reason i am playing DoC

quasi crest
#

I think the transport suit should be able to take 2 bodies

#

In the back of it

#

You get out load em up

#

Bring em back

#

I think you should be able to equip a mecha spray bottle on them for the chimera curin
