Check out my thread here where I tried discussing this already, it’s an uphill battle: Inventory Overload: When Gear Crowds Out Ammo
In the thread I made it clear, “we’re going to start seeing more things added for marines to carry” and sure enough not even 3 weeks later I now have to carry a fucking weapon repair kit on top of everything else.
It doesn’t take much to see the following happen:
ointment is made mandatory
Unga is removed
bibles can’t hold items
That’s a 7-8 slot nerf in storage space that will probably happen within a year and still nobody wants to consider that storage space restrictions are getting ridiculous before any of that has happened.
Currently the absolute minimum for medical storage is knife/unga/bandage/splint/MRE, for players who don’t use unga you can replace that with bicard/kelo. If you have to carry all the medical gear you’re “supposed” to carry, it’s knife/bicard/kelo/tricord/tram/bandage/ointment/splint/MRE.
The trend of nerfing marine medical and storage is past the point of making the game balanced, it is now actively making the game worse, and I don’t think anyone is going to listen or hear it until we’re 2 years past the point that fixes should’ve been made.
