Hopefully this thread isnt dead yet. Ive started to love playing Medical Doctor and you dont hear often enough about MD players so this thread is a rare sight. I've tried a few playstyles but usually they start like this:
•Upgrade the ProDocs (Alt+clicking to examine saves so much more time than switching to a Hanalyzer/PDA and if you need a reagent scanner the PDA has one)
•Set up cryo with health upgrades and defibs (I'm surprised Triacontakai said they suck, I've found them to be a great all-purpose healing tool)
•Drag the Port-A-Medbay next to the cryo and set its home turf there
•Drag the Port-A-Nanomed to some corner of pathology and hometurf it (I've had the Nanomed be electrified a few times and it's been pretty annoying in high pressure situations)
•Do a roll call or just get people talking on :m (I've played sec/det a bit and comms are important there but the medical channel is almost always silent)
•Tell staff I've set up the Port-A-Medbay next to the cryo and if they send anyone back I'll put them in cryo (Only happened once so far but it felt like proper teamwork when it did)
•Get a Hypospray of epi or epi+subumatol in my pocket
And then decide what sort of doctor to be. I've tried:
•Paramedic - Grab a medical belt and paramedic suit. Load up on some medkits. Possibly make synthflesh (The large beaker of styptic and slicing open a blood bag gets your 300u into a fuel can). The fuel can be used to make Teporone for your paramedic rescuing needs. Usually your starting crowbar is usually enough but loading up on some tools can be useful. Then run around the station checking the nooks and crannies for anyone to save.
•Mini medbay - Go to mechanics, ask them for an analyzer or get them to scan the cloner and other medical machinery. Grab tools and prepare the northern medical outpost for refurbishment. Take down the front wall and set up the cloner so that the pod and scanner are accessible from the hallway with the reclaimer and console behind in the room. Sit next to the console and get people to jump into the scanner as they pass.
•Implant everyone - Grab a portable reclaimer and some sheets of glass+metal or empty out a fabricator by the smelter. Fill up the medical fabricator and set it on repeat to make health implants. Do any other errands. Empty a syringe box and fill up the box and your internals box with implants. Grab the implant gun. Put it on your belt. Walk round and shoot everyone with it whether they like it or not.
