Synthetics, masochists of sorts, known as machine supremacist wannabe and the ultimate logistic crewmember. You can find yourself in very various situations, like replacing the ENTIRE shipside staff, by commanding, supplying, repairing, healing and even fighting due to recent rule change. Remember, thought, you are a support crew, not ultimate fighting machine - leave that to combat droids. If you ever want to start playing Synthetic, you must have advanced knowledge in '''medical, engineering, requisition''', and, at some decree, '''command.'''
Synthetics are the '''ultimate support and logistic crewmember'''. As the Synthetic, you have skills for medicine, surgery, engineering, construction, requisitions and even using Tactical Binoculars to spot for CAS or artillery. Even on top of that, you're still mostly a support crewmember. Rules do allow you to defend yourself, and while there's no rules on going offensive with melee weapons, you should leave it to the marines to cover you. As the Synthetic, you're expected to have advanced knowledge in '''medical''', '''surgery''', '''engineering/base building''' and at least ''some'' knowledge of '''Command and Requisitions'''.


==Synthetic vs Organic==
==Synthetic vs Organic==


As a biomechanical lifeform, you possess numerous advantages and disadvantages over your fleshy friends. You can have only a first name, without any surnames, too. (It uses special Synth name text in Character Editor, and not main name).
As the Synthetic you have advantages and disadvantages over regular organics. You only have a first name, something like ''John''.
 
These advantages/disadvantages are assuming you're playing as the Late/Normal Synthetic, which is recommended for new synths.


Unlike your biological friends, you do not benefit from chemicals and can't use traditional medicine to patch your wounds. You are affected only by brute and burn sources of damage, such as xeno slashing, bullets, acid and lasers, and should not be afraid of neurotoxins, oxyloss, stamina or organ damage, as they simply do not apply. But beware - while chemicals and Corpsmen cannot help you, YOU and Engineers easily can repair damaged bodyparts with blowtorch and wires, for brute and burn damage respective, with cool rotational menu, just like with bandages!
===Your Advantages===


You can repair brute damage with blowtorch, burn damage with wires, and both with nanopaste. You do it slower if doing on your own, so if possible, don't hesitate to ask others! Healing others is always faster. You also received the greatest healing tool for both Synths and Combat Robots - Soldering Iron! Unlike any other tool, it is infinite, heals both types of damage, and scales with Medical skill (Which is irrelevant for Synth as he got both Engineering and Medical at same level). Beware - as usual, healing yourself with it is slower, and you cannot replace your precious tool if you loose it.
*You only take brute and burn damage, and you get a slight (0.70) damage reduction to damage. You still take damage from normal sources, like bullets, lasers, explosions, fire and acid.
*You are immune to pain. Xenos also cannot see your health bar. They can only tell if you're dead, alive, or SSD through a HUD icon and examine.
*'''Decapitations don't kill you permanently, and you don't become permanently dead over time.''' If your head is not lost and same for your body, you can be defibrillated from anything. You can still be destroyed by [[TGMC:Pilot Officer#Tadpole|Tadpole]] landing.
*Due to the above, '''you're very easy to heal.''' You can repair brute damage with a blowtorch, burn damage with wires, and both with nanopaste (found in surgical trays and Requisitions). You're much slower if you do this on your own, so don't hesitate to ask others to repair you.
* Xenos cannot drain or cocoon you for psy points unlike combat robots and organics.
*You are immune to larval huggers; however non-larval variants still try to attack you. This makes you a very robust way of dealing with larval huggers and their traps.
*You get 25 more health (125), or Early Synthetics have 100 more health (200).
*You are immune to flashes, welding tools, or other sources of getting blinded. You have a natural Medical HUD too.


Beware, thought, while you technically cannot feel pain (And Xenos will never see your health by any circumstance, besides you being a Synth), you are still affected by damage slowdown, high limb damage and can have limbs (INCLUDING HEAD) chopped off clean. Maybe such things are just an inconvenience for you compared to Marines, they still should be considered. Keep in mind - not having bones does not make you immune to bane of their - high damage on limb causes it to spark, either dropping held item (Arm, hand) or dropping YOU (leg, feet), which is fixed by lowering damage to the limb.
===Your Disadvantages===


You are also immune to facehuggers, who do not see you as a viable host to latch onto, in addition, you are much easier to revive and can even be revived hours after your death with a defibrillator. You cannot be blinded with a welding tool and most importantly of all; you are also the most skilled person on the ship and are a better doctor than the actual doctors ''and'' a better engineer than the engineers.
*You can have any limb chopped off, including your head, but as covered in Advantages, they won't kill you permanently unless your head is somehow destroyed. Wear a hat that somehow provides decapitation protection to avoid this! These are found in the surplus clothing vendors.
* You are still affected by damage slowdown, and still go into critical condition at the hard crit threshold [-50], although you won't go blind from being in hard crit. '''Worst of all, you don't suffocate, so you can be in critical condition forever''' until you are put out of your misery or rescued.
*You can't fire guns, prime grenades, or wear armor like the '''Xenonauten or Jaeger armors''', and you cannot run, although your walk speed is still pretty decent (unless you're an early synthetic). You can wear the TGMC flak vest and the bulletproof vest in your vendor.
*Your storage situation is difficult to manage as you usually have to prepare for medical emergencies and engineering situations.

Unlike common belief, you are NOT immune to facehuggers, and you get shrapnel. Only one type of facehuggers - larval - does not care about your existence and won't even trigger if you step on it's trap, while any other will gratefully jump on you and activate themselves. You are the best way to clear larval facehuggers, but don't think about yourself as bane of Carriers - any other facehugger will gratefully ruin your day.
Early Synthetics get +100 health (200) and a 0.6 brute and burn modifier with a 1.15 slowdown applied. They hold the appearance of a pale bald android.

== What should I do as a Synthetic?==
As the ultimate support unit, you should try to help where needed! During low population especially, you'll end up in a lot of different situations.


Sadly, one of the biggest Synths disadvanatage is lack of viable combat techniques. If Nanotrasen (read - admemes) did not tamper with your source code safety, you cannot use any reliable ranged weapon (Mostly ballistic/laser), including stationary, can't wear good armor (Jaeger or even Combat Robot) and use any type of grenade besides smoke. Still, you have conventional ways to protect yourself, but it's not your main focus. You also can't RUN, good luck getting in time!
Bulleted examples below. These aren't exhaustive, you can do basically anything you're mechanically allowed to do.


==What should I be doing?==
===Shipside===
* Set SLs (choose carefully, they will become your superior officer).
*Build the FOB, set up the Tadpole. Or even fly the Tadpole during the operation!


Everything. Literally. But mostly everything that is not combat.  
*Man [[TGMC:Guide to requisitions|Requisitions]] if the RO is overwhelmed or not awake.
* Handle [[TGMC:Guide to engineering|Engineering]].
* In the medbay, [[TGMC:Guide to Surgery|perform surgeries]] on damaged marines.


As ultimate support unit, you should do everything in your powers to assist operation, be that replacing (or assisting) Requistions, Engineering, Medical on ship, assisting Groundside combat by building, healing and sometimes fiighting. Pay close attention to communications, monitor sutiation of entire operation and come as a hero whenever you are needed. RO is ovewhelmed by orders or missing at all? You are new RO! ST is blackout drunk or fighting groundside? Energy and OB are your duty! Researcher decided to make Requsitions rich by getting corpses of Xenos and CMO got beheaded by random drone from Alamo? Welp, time to be a Doctor. There is no SLs? Nope, assign those, you won't be SL. But you can try commanding!
===Groundside===


Use your All-access card, all-channel radio and all-trades skillset to skyrocket profits and job done. It almost ensures you won't stand idle for a second, so prepare to multitask!
*[[TGMC:Guide to fire support|Spot for various fire support methods]].
*[[TGMC:Guide to Defibrillation|Heal fallen marines]].
*[[TGMC:Guide to Base Building|Build frontline or FOB defenses]].
*[[TGMC:Guide to Field Surgery|Field surgery]].
*Help operate the Tadpole while carrying out any of the above initiatives.


And again, when you CAN fight, you should focus on being a nice helping hand, and not another crushing one.
When you have to fight, try to leave it to marines. If you're going on a mission, bring some company to help you avoid being picked off by [[TGMC:Hunter|backline]] [[TGMC:Runner|xenomorphs]].


==Combat and you!==
==Combat==
Disclaimer: I must AGAIN specify, combat is not your specialization. Even if you can, you never should focus on it purely. This page is created with purpose of teaching you how to protect, assist and sometimes kill if not dangerous enemies.
There are no real rules on combat for Synths now. Admins probably won't note you for it anymore. But it should be kept in mind that it's not your specialization, so your internal demand for unga should be contained unless in case of emergencies, such as defending yourself from backline xenomorphs.


===Defense===
===Fighting===
So, lad, you heard Synthetics can finally fight, aye? But "How should they fight without any proper armor or guns?!" you ask me, and that new page is just the answer!
Synthetics can finally fight and have been able to for a while. But how do they do this without armor or guns? Well, this part is your answer.
As a Synthetic, not all armor is restricted to you by default. While they can give low armor, no armor is worse. Synthetic gains his natural armor (Rumours say Old Synthetic gets even more), and combined with what you got, you can survive much longer! Experiment - few clothes, like flak armor of PO or PMC fatigue provide little, but so needed soft armor! And do not forget about your head - while technically you can get your head back, you should totally not loose it in the first place!
By default, you have Medhud and Night Vision integrated into you, and you are also immune to flashes and blowtorch, so no welding protection is needed at all! Use your eye slot for something fancy or useful that is not in the list of your amazing powers.
Try to avoid anything that slows you down, as you are already quite slow and can't run.


===Self-Offense===
Not all armor is restricted by default. The armor you ''can'' wear, being the Flak Vest and Bulletproof Vest (both in your vendor) provide needed soft armor. The flak vest, especially, provides some soft protection (including acid) with a slight slowdown while the bulletproof vest gives you hard bullet protection. Not super useful, but it doesn't slow you down and looks cool. The weapons you can use are melee only and flares.  
Again, do not rush into combat. use it as self-defense (Or self-offense?) and nothing more.
As a Synth, your melee choice is quite limited. While you technically can bash people with guns and bayonets, its not effective in few ways. Your best bets are two-handed spears, shields, machete and Harvesters if you want to hurt xeno enough for it to run away or even die, and powerfists if you want to get rid off them for some time. Use that high Melee Skill at last!


In range, you must rely on very inconvenient way to fight - throwing knifes and flares. Did you know that Synth can reliably throw them? Unlike grenades or guns, you have zero restrictions on such weak, but still working ways to fight xenos on reliably safe range. Lit flare burns anyone it is thrown at, and knifes deal considerable damage. With their rework, you can even reliably kill someone with those!
The only "gun" you can fire applies to the rare Human vs Synth situations, like during events; you can fire tasers.  


===What do you mean Military Police?===
And don't ever forget, if you get in combat, you can technically get your head back but try not to even lose it in the first place! Your head can be dragged by xenomorphs for miles where it will never be found, and so can your unconscious shell if you are put into hard critical condition.
In very rare occasions you will be forced to fight humans or even hostile Synth. All I can tell is that you, for God-knows reasons, have the skill of Policing, allowing you to use Stunbatons and... Taser? That's right - the only actual ranged weapon made for you is one-shot Taser. Also, humans get stunned good if you hit them in melee even unarmed.


===CAS and transport===
Synthetics do have their natural armor as stated earlier. Their species have a 0.70 mod to brute and burn, and Early Synthetics have slightly more (0.60). You get +25 health (125) and as such can take a little more damage before dying, and Early Synthetics have +100 health (200).
Yes. You can use CAS and maybe even other vehicles that can shoot. That excludes Alamo-based CAS, Mortars, stationary weaponry, flamethrowers, thought.


== Tips ==
====So, what can you use?====
You can use most melee weapons, such as Harvester weapons (without the [[TGMC:Guide to Vali|Vali]] benefits), throwing knives, flares, machetes, bayonets, shields and even the all-powerful, POWERFIST. Whatever manages to deal with T2s like the [[TGMC:Warrior|Warrior]], [[TGMC:Runner|Runner]] and [[TGMC:Hunter|Hunter]].

After you spawn in:
After you spawn in:
*Use your vendor to pick out your gear, a lightweight combat pack is recommended (backpack sized satchel), alongside a lifesaver/medical storage rig, Black webbing, tool pouch, and any other pouch of your choosing, typically a medkit pouch or construction pouch).
*Use your vendor to pick out your gear, a lightweight combat pack is recommended (backpack with no delay to removing items), alongside a lifesaver belt, black webbing vest, tool pouch, and any other pouch of your choosing, typically a medkit pouch or construction pouch).
*Take everything from your vendor, including the meson goggles and essential items.
*Communicate with Command and marines. Be aware of the plan and bring items accordingly.  
*Move the blowtorch and wire from your discarded tool-belt into webbing.
*Move the blowtorch and wire from your discarded tool-belt into webbing.
*Move to Engineering, turn on generators.
* Head to Engineering, replenish and turn on the generators. Leave 6 generators on and 6 generators off but fueled incase nobody shipside can replenish generators.
*Head to SMESes, configure SMESes - set input to Auto and Max.
**Configure SMES units - set everything on the units to maximum.
*Grab a meson goggles from the vendor in engineering, you have an integrated healthhud and integrated welding protection so there is no reason not to use it.
*If nobody is currently using the FOB drone/has used the FOB drone, then build the FOB with it.
*Grab all metal and plasteel and phoron from Engineering storage area, as well as the PACMAN generator
*When the FOB is complete, grab metal and plasteel from the FOB drone and use it for FOB reinforcements. Load the P.A.C.M.A.N. generator and phoron onto the Alamo.
*Grab welding kit, sprint to Alamo.
*Assign aSLs accordingly, be sure to choose carefully as they will gain authority over you.  
*Use Overwatch consoles to assign acting Squad Leaders if any Squad lacks a Leader.Remember, whoever you appoint will instantly have authority over you, and others. Choose wisely.
* Run to Medical, from the MarineMed or NanotrasenMed grab:
*Drop all materials and belt kits aboard or at the FOB drone.
*Run to Medbay, from the MarineMed Plus or NTMed grab:
**Splints.
**Splints.
**Two trauma/burn kits.

Expect this run, with practice, to take around thirteen minutes in total, not counting Requisition time.
 
===Ceyella's Synthetic tips and advice===
 
These are general tips/advice i have picked up from playing synth.
 
*Loadout
** Any uniform, labcoat (place your nanopaste and plasteel inside) medical scanner on suit slot, black webbing (wire and blowtorch from toolbelt, your medivac, roller bed,and lastly big oxy injector inside.)
** lifesaver belt, drop the hypervene, QC and and some combat injectors, replace with your imalky, iron,, and dexalin, it really depends on how many other medics there are.
**i always take tool pouch becuase its incredibly meta like crazy, then autoinject pouch, empty the autoinjector pouch and fill with 2 peri+ 2 qc+ 2 dex+ and one ana injector for rogue marines.
**marine combat boots are the best, because they hold a knife
**defib metal, and light bulb thing in pack, as well as any other odds and ends you pick up. you have ALOT of free room here for mission specific gear, if no medics add a second defib and spare medics, no engineers a extra blowtorch, fire extinguisher,etc.
**try to if possible net a mini sentry from a engi, this will cMame in handy later
 
*Dealing with marines
**Anything a marine tells you is a suggestion, and advice. unless they are an officer, then it is an order.
**Marine health is your second priority to your own, always medic marines, before all else. if a medic can take them, let them. but keep an eye on wipes or people going orange.
**Engineers will actively dismantle or destroy defenses,keep an eye out for this. I've had fob wiped dozens of times from this.
**Marines are used to synth being worthless, and not helping, so in times they will grab dead from you mid defib to take them across map to medic, or leave you to die while you repair engineering.
 
*Engineering
**Save your mats for when you go to map specific engineering, or to minifob. LV medical is a great spot to minifob. never use your limited maps on FOB or a miner.
**Try to get engineering deweeded and fixed.
**many marines refuse to evac but will go to colony medical so fix that if possible.
**use mini sentry to quick plop and radial mode to guard you while you work.
**Welder cades, alot of marines dont have the stuff.
**Make razorwire in the field. typically, i am the only one to do this, but you can drop it behind a crusher so it gets stuck in the marine horde.
 
*Medical
**You will be expected to do surgery, many players hate it but you NEED to do it if it has to be done. typically ill take marines to colony med for this or have surgery stuff in fob.
**90% of the time you are squad medic people hate because you dont have a symbol by your head saying you are medic.
** WARN PEOPLE OF PERI+ AND QC+ it has delay stuns and debuffs, if you peri+ a guy wordlessly and he sprints into xenos then falls over, you will suddenly take FF for the next few days.
**Medivac is not just for medical it is shipside express, let people use it for that.


*Requisitions
* Load the previously listed medical supplies into a crate and put it in the Alamo.
**Suit modules first and only for 10 minutes
* Deploy your medevac beacon.
**ignore megagun or meme request, its a waste
**After 10 minutes announce last call for module priority (no one will listen)
**buy fultons
**buy cheap items in order of first come first serve, or people will have a meltdown
**by now you are out of points


*Command
* From the chem machine make your chemicals if applicable or vend spare chemicals into your storage.
**You have no authority over anyone
**But you actually do, reputation wise, and suggestively.
**If no command, alot of ungas will look to you, suggest easy clear plans. "push to silos" is something people will actually do. "Push to medical, secure it for doctor, then flank around." is something people will never do effectively. keep it simple and directive. marines will prioritize fun, fun being shoot xenos.
**Announce what each squad is doing, SLs rarely communicate to eachother, and marines wander around aimlessly.
**keep an eye out for important information someone with small-text says, and repeat it. squad marine bob will say in the smallest text possible, that the entire hive is eating him alive south of fob and the cades are all melting. your text is huge, so copy and paste it.
**Explain things to marines, "deweed engineering x50" will not get them to do it, "deweed engineering so xenos cant build silos and turrets" will educate marines as to why they should go do that.typically this gets them to do what you want.


*Combat
*Station requisitions for a few minutes.
**bring a mini sentry along with you everywhere possible and drop it radial mode. this will protect you better than marines, and draw xeno aggro better than marines.it can be carried in hand while you move around.
*Go to powerloaders, use one for engine upgrades, one for weapons, switch between.
**Do not machete, it is space inefficient, and ultimately useless. your boot knife is for weeds and getting runner to leave you alone.
**Do not accept swords, maces, or other weapons from marines, admins offer them to me to see if i will use them.
**scream where you are dieing, marines can get you anytime and revive you even after an hour has passed. also scream HOW to fix you, very few people know how. (nanopaste from medical surgery tray, welder, wire.)
**wire can be used on all limbs, at the same time, so you can wire left arm, then wire left hand on the same timer, but welder can only repair one limb at a time. this makes burn damage preferential.
**bulletproof vest is good for highpop FF, but never take things for EORD, admins will note you for this. i have seen many synth spawn into EORD then pull 20 tazers, its clearly you wasting the synth slot to bank for winning EORD.
**You can use smoke grenades, the -2 ones are the best for cloaking but dont do it in the middle of a push do it if your solo between fob and frontlines. hold it in your hand after arming it so it stays centered.

Synthetics are the ultimate support and logistic crewmember. As the Synthetic, you have skills for medicine, surgery, engineering, construction, requisitions and even using Tactical Binoculars to spot for CAS or artillery. Even on top of that, you're still mostly a support crewmember. Rules do allow you to defend yourself, and while there's no rules on going offensive with melee weapons, you should leave it to the marines to cover you.

Synthetic vs Organic[править | править код]

As the Synthetic you have advantages and disadvantages over regular organics. You only have a first name, something like John.

These advantages/disadvantages are assuming you're playing as the Late/Normal Synthetic, which is recommended for new synths.

Your Advantages[править | править код]

  • You only take brute and burn damage, and you get a slight (0.70) damage reduction to damage. You still take damage from normal sources, like bullets, lasers, explosions, fire and acid.
  • You are immune to pain. Xenos also cannot see your health bar. They can only tell if you're dead, alive, or SSD through a HUD icon and examine.
  • Decapitations don't kill you permanently, and you don't become permanently dead over time. If your head is not lost and same for your body, you can be defibrillated from anything. You can still be destroyed by Tadpole landing.
  • Due to the above, you're very easy to heal. You can repair brute damage with a blowtorch, burn damage with wires, and both with nanopaste (found in surgical trays and Requisitions). You're much slower if you do this on your own, so don't hesitate to ask others to repair you.
  • Xenos cannot drain or cocoon you for psy points unlike combat robots and organics.
  • You are immune to larval huggers; however non-larval variants still try to attack you. This makes you a very robust way of dealing with larval huggers and their traps.
  • You get 25 more health (125), or Early Synthetics have 100 more health (200).
  • You are immune to flashes, welding tools, or other sources of getting blinded. You have a natural Medical HUD too.

Your Disadvantages[править | править код]

  • You can have any limb chopped off, including your head, but as covered in Advantages, they won't kill you permanently unless your head is somehow destroyed. Wear a hat that somehow provides decapitation protection to avoid this! These are found in the surplus clothing vendors.
  • You are still affected by damage slowdown, and still go into critical condition at the hard crit threshold [-50], although you won't go blind from being in hard crit. Worst of all, you don't suffocate, so you can be in critical condition forever until you are put out of your misery or rescued.
  • You can't fire guns, prime grenades, or wear armor like the Xenonauten or Jaeger armors, and you cannot run, although your walk speed is still pretty decent (unless you're an early synthetic). You can wear the TGMC flak vest and the bulletproof vest in your vendor.
  • Your storage situation is difficult to manage as you usually have to prepare for medical emergencies and engineering situations.

What should I do as a Synthetic?[править | править код]

As the ultimate support unit, you should try to help where needed! During low population especially, you'll end up in a lot of different situations.

Bulleted examples below. These aren't exhaustive, you can do basically anything you're mechanically allowed to do.

Shipside[править | править код]

  • Set SLs (choose carefully, they will become your superior officer).
  • Build the FOB, set up the Tadpole. Or even fly the Tadpole during the operation!

Groundside[править | править код]

When you have to fight, try to leave it to marines. If you're going on a mission, bring some company to help you avoid being picked off by backline xenomorphs.

Combat[править | править код]

There are no real rules on combat for Synths now. Admins probably won't note you for it anymore. But it should be kept in mind that it's not your specialization, so your internal demand for unga should be contained unless in case of emergencies, such as defending yourself from backline xenomorphs.

Fighting[править | править код]

Synthetics can finally fight and have been able to for a while. But how do they do this without armor or guns? Well, this part is your answer.

Not all armor is restricted by default. The armor you can wear, being the Flak Vest and Bulletproof Vest (both in your vendor) provide needed soft armor. The flak vest, especially, provides some soft protection (including acid) with a slight slowdown while the bulletproof vest gives you hard bullet protection. Not super useful, but it doesn't slow you down and looks cool. The weapons you can use are melee only and flares.

The only "gun" you can fire applies to the rare Human vs Synth situations, like during events; you can fire tasers.

And don't ever forget, if you get in combat, you can technically get your head back but try not to even lose it in the first place! Your head can be dragged by xenomorphs for miles where it will never be found, and so can your unconscious shell if you are put into hard critical condition.

Synthetics do have their natural armor as stated earlier. Their species have a 0.70 mod to brute and burn, and Early Synthetics have slightly more (0.60). You get +25 health (125) and as such can take a little more damage before dying, and Early Synthetics have +100 health (200).

So, what can you use?[править | править код]

You can use most melee weapons, such as Harvester weapons (without the Vali benefits), throwing knives, flares, machetes, bayonets, shields and even the all-powerful, POWERFIST. Whatever manages to deal with T2s like the Warrior, Runner and Hunter.

Round Start Hectic Tactics[править | править код]

During low population, this guide may help to shave seconds off of the round start to-do list for Synthetics.

After you spawn in:

  • Use your vendor to pick out your gear, a lightweight combat pack is recommended (backpack with no delay to removing items), alongside a lifesaver belt, black webbing vest, tool pouch, and any other pouch of your choosing, typically a medkit pouch or construction pouch).
  • Take everything from your vendor, including the meson goggles and essential items.
  • Communicate with Command and marines. Be aware of the plan and bring items accordingly.
  • Move the blowtorch and wire from your discarded tool-belt into webbing.
  • Head to Engineering, replenish and turn on the generators. Leave 6 generators on and 6 generators off but fueled incase nobody shipside can replenish generators.
    • Configure SMES units - set everything on the units to maximum.
  • If nobody is currently using the FOB drone/has used the FOB drone, then build the FOB with it.
  • When the FOB is complete, grab metal and plasteel from the FOB drone and use it for FOB reinforcements. Load the P.A.C.M.A.N. generator and phoron onto the Alamo.
  • Assign aSLs accordingly, be sure to choose carefully as they will gain authority over you.
  • Run to Medical, from the MarineMed or NanotrasenMed grab:
    • Splints.
    • Two trauma/burn kits.
    • Hypospray, which you will fill with inaprovaline + bic/mera + kelo/derm
    • Peri+ & QC+
    • Anything else of your choiceOne of every pill bottle. (Easier to just take a pre-filled lifesaver/rig onto Alamo)
    • One defibrillator.
    • Two roller beds.
    • Two stasis bags.
  • Load the previously listed medical supplies into a crate and put it in the Alamo.
  • Deploy your medevac beacon.
  • From the chem machine make your chemicals if applicable or vend spare chemicals into your storage.
  • Station requisitions for a few minutes.
  • Go to powerloaders, use one for engine upgrades, one for weapons, switch between.
