How likely are we to see medical gameplay added to the team modes for Star Marine?asked by Hoffman

TL;DRMedical gameplay is "very likely" but depends on Squadron 42 bringing it online first; Star Marine currently has the downed state disabled, and experimental modes might be used to test it.

Very likely. I love the medical gameplay that has been being developed for Squadron 42, and we're probably bound to Squadron 42 bringing online their medical gameplay first before that comes into AC. But as soon as it is, I mean, there's game modes that make a lot of sense to have our medical gameplay.

Another part of that customization I was talking about earlier is the utility slot is now actually a utility slot, whereas before you were bound to, it was a knife, which isn't really utility, but now you can bring in your multi-tool or your med gun in there. So we're hoping to expand that in the future. It's just right now, as you know, Star Marine doesn't have the downed state. We have that disabled because it just doesn't work for the fast-paced game modes that we have right now. But maybe as we explore different things in the future, we'll use experimental modes, for example, to test medical gameplay and see how it suits the current game modes and future game modes we work on.
