medical frigate

[dr lameos]

Then i just saw it as beeing something big. Okay. Those small windows irritated me.

If I may, I would suggest to make it big. At least like a liner. Think of it this way, it's a flying hospital, along with beds, operating rooms, storages of medical supplies, a kitchen... it should be huge and slow. How about a heavy shielding but low grade guns? Also, maybe add a red cross somewhere on it?

I would echo those statements, the small windows really do give it the appearance of being quite huge. Also, theres a real lack of a liner for ordinary people, i brought this up previously. The choices for personnel carrying are either luxurious (yachts, luxury liner) or harsh (prisoner liner, slave liner etc.) Where's the ship for carrying ordinary people cheaply? There was a thread about cargo pods which was interesting, nothing about it more recently however.

I digress, back to the med-ship, 11of10 gets the theory correct, hospitals are BIG.

some time ago ( i think it was before the public beta ) someone ( i think it was dusty lens ) came up with the idea of a MASH or med-ship.

- now that almost every faction in sirius is at war with someone - having a combat ready med-ship is quite a logical thing....


well - that ship started as a rheinland medical frigate... cause they would need something like that in the war... - but the result looks more like a BHG med ship ( and they also need a med ship, i guess )

.... well - actually, it looks like a BHG battleship that was somewhat modified with rheinland parts - oh, well.... i didn t really put too much efford into the skin.

such a ship could also be used as a BHG specific liner ( since its not really practical to RP a med-ship of course )

Three words, Jinx.

I.

Love.

You.





Addendum:

( since its not really practical to RP a med-ship of course )

Of course? Is this a given point or something?

You ever tried RPing a medship?

I have. It works. Don't say it don't, brother, 'cause it do.
It's brilliant fun, at least for someone like me.

(Also, I posted an idea for a Doctor/Medical Officer ID a while ago, in Kuraine's ID thread.
This would work perfectly.)


Okay, so maybe not so much three words.
Oh well.

Ok, where is it sold! I always wanted to be a medic! smile.gif... kidding.. If I may, I would suggest to make it big. At least like a liner. Think of it this way, it's a flying hospital, along with beds, operating rooms, storages of medical supplies, a kitchen... it should be huge and slow. How about a heavy shielding but low grade guns? Also, maybe add a red cross somewhere on it?

I disagree, it should be more of an emergency response/rescue ship than a 'floating hospital'. A hospital flying around through space would not be practical - but a ship which can stabilize injured personnel and transport them to a planetside location for long term care would be much more efficient.

I'd say make it an AP manufactured ship (the company that makes the BHG ship line), but list it as a craft primarily used by house militaries and private companies for rescue operations or medical testing. Cryer pilots should be able to fly this thing...

I really like the idea! Only one thing I can think of that may be missing - a big robotic arm. Why? Well, it's all well and good to tractor in escape pods, but what about if there's still a bunch of debris and there are people trapped inside? Or the pod didn't eject right, but there are still signs of life? You'd want a big arm to grab it and pull it into a hangar where the medics could (hopefully) save those pilots.

Just some rambling thoughts. I love the idea though. :)

Cryer pilots should be able to fly this thing...

Hell yeah. Can't imagine a better mobile research station ship type thing. Fly in to beta, shoot some outcasts, tractor the pods, perform experiments, lose morals, get paid, go to sleep.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

it ll be there tomorrow again - i exceeded my bandwidth for that month - that just happens... ( that can happen in the last days of a months - i only have 25 GB bandwidth on this account )

May I Also suggest that it be painted white and have a red cross on it? I provide this pic for reference:

USNS Mercy

This would truly mark it as a hospital ship


Now, the rescue and assistance frigate is a good idea too....... Maybe make it manufactured by the Zoners?

EDIT: Tenacity hit it on the head...
