the origins of this came about is discord, we were talking about how the CMO is kinda useless when somebody suggested they should increase the surgery skill from 2 to 3. To me this makes sense since you would expect the HEAD of medical with years of experience under their belt to be a bit better at surgery then the average doc.
while i’m here may as ell suggest a new level 3 surgery organ replacement, this would work by if a certain organ goes above 30 damage they have to get a new one (brain excluded for obvious reasons)
the organs would be kept in that room that is currently closed off in medical (the one filled with metalfoam) that would be a freezer.
the surgery it’s self would go like (IMS if possible) scalpel → haemostat → retractor → circular saw → retractor → scalpel (menu would appear to select which organ you want to remove) → click with hand → insert new organ → attach new organ with surgical line or fixOvain → close chest and your done
obviously this is now where near perfect so please leave feed back in replise
Didn’t CMO used to have level 3 surgery? It was removed iirc because they wanted CMO to be more of a department head role instead of just a better surgeon (factcheckers WILL need to confirm this!!!)
Yes CMO DID have Level 3 surgery, but the reason it was lowered to level 2 was due to the fact CMOs were deploying against SOP/ML. Coders were then told to lower it to Level 2 to mechanically force the CMO to stay shipside and begrudgingly send their doctors/surgeons instead.
In my own opinion, I think CMO should be given level 3 surgery. But if they deploy administrative action should be taken aswell instead of just in game action. But I aint an admin so I cant say for certainty.
Just because the CMO is the department head, doesn’t mean they’re an expert in the field. A lot of managers/supervisors may know a little about what their people do but not a lot and just lead. In this case, the CMO knows quite a lot about the field he runs.
