I'm hoping to be a battlefield Medic in game...as I understand it, the differing armours types each have their own loadout maximums(similar to ship hardpoints). Will a medic have any type of visual identification that designates them as a medic? A Medic variant if you will....asked by Johnny_71
TL;DRMedics currently have no distinct look, though a medical insignia texture or modular shoulder piece could be added later and medic armour might favour smaller compartments, but it's not a current priority.
So we do have currently a concept and it's still in production for a, a navy corpsman. So we do have a medic but I think, Johnny is more talking about like, in the field type of medic.
Yeah, when they're flying around in a Cutlass Red or...
Right, right that's what I'm thinking. So far we do not but we do have the, we did the design the insignias for the medics and so we might, it could be a possibility of just slapping that texture on.
I mean I think there's been discussions about having some customisability, and the textures being able to decorate your armour in certain ways. Definitely a good option would be to have that Red Cross insignia or whatever the version is in the universe is, so you can roleplay as a medic and hopefully people won't shoot you or i'm sure a lot of people would try to wear that armour and pretend they're a medic so they won't get shot but then go around shooting other people anyway.
Right.
Which is really bad don't do that!
I don't think we'll have like Starcraft their medics are like white, but that's just for visual cue, but in real life a lot of the medics in the field they wear the regular BDU's and they wear the regular gear that a regular soldier would wear, right? Just because we don't want the medics to stand out. So they might have a patch on their left arm I think? But they don't look necessarily any different.So well i'll address a kind of, i'll segue ways into another question so i'll save that for later. We're planning on having our marines very modular like our ships so we could easily just swap like a shoulder piece out but like a medical insignia on it. So it could be in the works, not currently cause we have a lot more important stuff, but it is a cool idea.
Yeah, yeah. Taking a look at what would make an armour set better for a medic. Like maybe they have more smaller compartments on the suit, it would just be a general armour that could hold smaller things like medi-pens at the sake of carrying around more weapons. So you're giving up the weapons slots to carry more medi-pens maybe that would be...But it wouldn't have to be medi-pens because of how flexible the systems supposed to be, it would just be that size storage.So it will be interesting to see how it develops and giving people the flexibility to kind of design the armour they want to wear.
