Let Hospital Medicmen fireman carry.

We all know that HMs are one of the few roles that can open pill bottles because of their great strength. However, for some reason they cannot firecarry marines despite having very strong arms.

This feels unrealistic and failrp.

peeps will say fireman carrying is op, but like 99% of times the only time they see the skill in action is from synths. synths have a jacked up fireman skill (and they’re also synths).

lcpl john ‘uscm’ medic with a fireman skill of 1 is not going to be the equivalent of a synth with an invincibility button so i don’t really know what these guys are so pissy about. fireman carrying is also a lot more soulful than roller beds anyhow

Fireman carrying is reserved for roles that matter, like SO and SL. Sorry sweetie.

Yeah roller beds are literally the definition of OP medevaccing, why there would be resistance against fireman carry for all marines is beyond me

try to hold as much as a corridor without a medic for half an hour and I’m with you man

True, but what is a hospital medicman or HM? Can’t you just call medics medics?

NGL if you asked me like 6 months ago “should we let riflemen or even just medics the ability to fireman carry” I would of said “nah that’s overpowered”

But honestly I’ve seen tons of marines just straight up run up to a downed marine, drop a bed and pull them away to safety while the warrior waiting to pounce face slams their keyboard unsure of what just happened.

A roller bed takes as much space as a splint/gauze, can be stored in any webbing and is actually like four times as fast as trying to fireman carry someone. Every single round I roll a ship side role I grab a spare one from maints and almost all the roles I main are command roles with the ability to fireman carry. Actually makes zero sense from a roleplay perspective and very little sense from a balance perspective why all marines cannot fireman carry tbh.

How am I supposed to feel pleasure when destroying a medic’s precious roller bed if they could easily just fireman carry a marine!?!?

Wait until you find out that we can and will carry backup rollers inside of first-aid kits.

One of the previous maintainer managers (Morrow maybe (who?)) did express that they’d be happy to accept allowing all Marines to fireman carry, but only if that low-trained personnel would cause minor damage to someone they were fireman carrying as they moved them, so long as they are already injured/in crit.

So basically, you had a trade-off where you can grab+drag to move somoene slowly but with no damage, or fireman carry to move someone faster, but you will deal constant damage to them as you do it.

Should switch that around since dragging a marine is alot more painful if its on glass shards.
Also make us able to shoot when prone.

But fuck yeah i wanna carry marines like a true baller.

I also want to add that some people’s opinion of fireman carry may be skewed since most of the time I feel people view it through the lens of the Synthetics fireman carry, since they get the most powerful version of it that has almost no delay in picking someone up.

Whereas a regular human who has the skill takes a very, very, long time to pick someone up. I once even posted a video showcasing the difference between using a roller bed and a fireman carry and the fact was the roller bed is faster.

Why not just put it up for test for about 3-5 rounds then take it off and see the feedback?

That would be sensible, and we cant have that
