Add a mech-version of the medigun to be creatable in robotic

[Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws]

There was already talk about adding in the medigun to RnD, but there were worries about it being too OP. Would adding in an Odysseus-only version that drains the mech's battery pretty fast be a decent compromise, since it wouldn't be as mobile, and would require charging the mech often

I think this is a fair compromise. I think it should really zap battery life though, making them only feasible with hyper-capacity cells and giving even the bluespace battery a run for its money, because let's face it, any Science and Supply departments that are halfway competent make them possible by 13:00.

This seems like a reasonable thing from me, given how powerful the medigun is in the right hands it makes sense to give it a downside (in this case, make it not available for your hands). I can support this suggestion.

 

This makes the Odysseus able to actually treat some injuries in the field better than just shooting people with omnizine syringes and scooping them into the sleepers for transport.

Exactly my sentiments, but that might make it TOO powerful. Should probably lower how much it heals by a little or something, depending on how easily accessible it is.

Considering that a single medigun is pretty much all of medbay in one portable package with no downsides, I'm really unsure if this is a good idea.

Last I checked Medi-gun just restores damage, not fixes organs, bones, infections, brain damage or any other injury. Oddy needs more equipment, that's pretty obvious, this or some kind of mounted hypo would be nice.

[HereticChurch]

The medi-gun restores most damage, as well as fixing bones once their damage thresholds go below a specific point. But other than that, yes, infections and organ damage aren't fixed, and blood isn't restored, AFAIK. I think this would make a fine addition, since Odysseus mechs are mostly neglected.

[Rumiluntti]

Just replace medbay with this. Great idea.

[scrubmcnoob]

Yes, do it.

Since this'd be a new addition, I'd imagine it would be easily feasible to just disable its bone healing ability; It shouldn't be a replacement for surgery.

Really? Most rounds as medical, I've seen the CMO get their Odysseus.

And then proceed to neglect them for the rest of the round.

Good point. Its just that it doesn't serve much purpose, at least, in my opinion.
