1. I enjoy a quiet science shift as much as anyone else, but I don‘t think science is free of responsibilities. Of course, demand for their services varies every round (radstorms bring artifacts, some rounds are messier and require more cleaner, etc.), but that applies to every department, especially the one that‘s supposed to do experiments. Some more rewarding tasks for them to do would be neat, but nothing that disrupts whatever they‘re working on.
2. Good idea imo, many other jobs have traits like that, and your point about John Tide makes sense. It‘s gonna very controversial, but as long as it‘s a trait that can be added in the Character menu (like the engie trait), I wouldn‘t see anything wrong with it.
3. They‘re useful in theory, giving chemistry more freedom to fulfill requests for the crew, but in reality, there‘s usually one MD/Doc making barrels of pent at roundstart, even on RP. I don‘t play on classic a lot, though I don‘t think it‘s very different there.
4. This goes back to the problem of supply and demand. The unpredictability of random events and which departments are staffed make such nerfs difficult to decide on. When the pop is high, there‘s not enough equipment, but when it‘s low, there‘s too much. I don‘t mind people carrying medkits when exploring, but having one „Just in case“ when there‘s no real reason for it feels kinda powergamey.
I can‘t think of an ideal solution to these right now, but it feels like most of the community would agree on this being an issue
