I think I remember suggesting something like this- letting winter coats hold some of the same items as that department's signature clothing (labcoat, hazard vest, apron, etc). I got shot down, but it's still a nice idea.

Osteodaxon is already unavailable from cargo - you need to grind up space carp for it. Cargo can only supply myelamine (clotting agent), and even then, at a prohibitively high point cost. I'm not sure multisurgery is the way to go about it, but I definitely agree surgery does need something to bring...

I run out fairly regularly and have to restock from Medical, but that's just personal experience. I'm happy to announce that there might be some sort of compromise in the works, though - I can't talk too much on the topic but from what I've heard, I think it'll satisfy everyone.

Clotting Agent: Required in super-busy rounds (the sort of rounds you'd need to order more advanced first-aid kits in). VM voidsuits: Not required , you're right on that, but they're really nice to have when things are happening all at once. Phoron: Dexalin, clonex, peridaxon, carthatoline, osteodax...

It additionally doesn’t bode well that it has been implied in-thread that statements or feedback made here will not matter, and that this is yet another change that will be pushed without care given to player consensus and fails to, as InvisiblePinkUnicorn noted, take into account how players will ...

Here's an idea: we drop the number of advanced trauma/burn kits per stack to 5 for the ones in the redkits (the NanoMeds still have stacks of 10, and the max is still 10, but it means starting MDs have to stock up), and add the MD's health analyzer to the redkits (which means that a redkit contains ...

Not every resource needs to be something we completely run out of all the time. We run out of advanced trauma/burn kits in the field pretty often, so we head back to medical to restock - just like how Security has to head back to a recharger to recharge. Preventing infection is important, but the au...

If it's a minor change that doesn't affect MDs much, then why have the change in the first place? It seems like it just wastes doctors' time and forces them to either spend yet more of Cargo's points (assuming there's even an active Cargo department) or add an extra couple of minutes to their loadou...

As long as we don't add codeside "if you don't have the right skills marked, you can't do this", I see nothing wrong with this.

Advanced medical kits are one of the pieces of equipment that differentiates MDs from random assistants who picked up a medkit somewhere. The advanced medkit is to the regular medkit as the stunbaton is to the stunprod, or the toolbelt is to the toolbox. The advanced medkits are already less useful ...
