Its pretty hard to do a lot of what a MP needs to do without knowing the health of those around them. Victims of assault and who got wounded with what. Dead victims getting walked over. Etc.
Make it so it needs Police skill to use the glasses with the medhud on.
Also dont add the blueglass med overlay when active to keep the MP aesthetic.
Yes. Only way of knowing if someone is dead is by coming closer and examining to check on his/her pulse. If they’re dead.
The hud would help to: Identify easier who the victim is in some cases, safeguard our prisoners from harm, identify if prisoners are hurt AFTER an interrogation with a less than qualified power hungry MP and just identify harm in general in the crew safety.
Its a shipside role anyway, its not going to afect the groundside battle in any impactfull way EVEN as Honor Guard.
The only reason I even mentioned for it to be necessary Police Skill to turn it on is because people would start to loot MPs for their glasses.
I suggest spending the six seconds it takes to health scanner em - there’s free ones in Medbay too!
Optimization is the death of shipside RP, spending time checking pulses and scanning peeps or calling a Doc/Nurse to come up is missing the point of why you don’t have MedHUDs!
