Sending Marines Home for Burial

[Bronimin]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Sending bodies in coffins back on the supply shuttle rewards cargo points

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): More cargo points for if/ when recycling guns is removed, marine bounceback mechanic if marines suffer horrific losses.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Marines visit RO for attachments, Marines go down on the dropship. Marine corpse is brought back in a bodybag, doctors stuff it into a coffin. Corpse is sent back to the marine HQ and RO orders more attachments. The beautiful circle of life.

Also if flags get introduced you could like, drape them over coffins of the really robust marines that kill 5 queens with their bootknife.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding, I guess. Probably something similar to the current crate + mainfest setup. Might be just a copy and paste dealie, I wouldn't know.

+1 yas we need this in our life

[TheMaskedMan2]

+1 For RP encouraged through an in game mechanic.

[contactdenied]

+1, Medbay looks like shit after a lengthy round with corpses everywhere, would also make dead bodies more useful.

[WinterClould]

Beautiful. They circle of life is so wonderful. +1

Defibbing, only to live a scant few moments more, or being fed REBORN into the grand Requisitions cycle of reincarnation, and live on forever as a smartgunner's most loved barrel charger?

I know which I would choose.

[completelynewguy]

Well, make sure that the CT knows that the dead body is revive-able or in the process of being revived. Alternatively, in add some kind of embalming/preservation kit to apply on a marine that immediately disables their revive.
As for me, +1, brings up the possibility for RP over how bad the situation is.

[SecretStamos (Joshuu)]

They wouldn't send them back with the shuttle, they'd probably cryofreeze them and bring them back to Earth after the tour of duty.

In my own headcanon, the supply shuttle responds to a local WY tradepost, definitely not Earth. Nor would they send bodies on the same shuttle they send food and supplies on.

[johners12345]

+1 so I may live on as a barrel charger

[Dolth]

+1.

And humans can be colonist. Fuck Earth.

Why the fuck would anyone send you MORE resources for sending dead marines back in body bags?

Organs Harvest?

[Tidomann]

Technically only bodies needed for autopsy or crime should be stored in the morgue right?

The rest should be cremated right?

Why not have ashes sent back instead of bodies? Gives something Req can pressure the medbay about.

"Urns" could be made in a lathe with glass or just be available and labelled with a pen.

This makes it so medical still can hoard a pile of bodies if they are overwhelmed as only medical staff should have access to the crematorium. It also helps so CTS won't be breaking down every wooden chair for coffins for the glory of Cargonia.

Also makes it so CTs don't want to murder people for cargo points...

Cause RP and ballance.

[Kerek]

The morgue is very large for dead marines. I don't like this a bit. Why would they send dead people where they order food, weapons, etc?

[immaspaceninja]

-1.
I think this change will make marines treat their dead comrades like a way to get more supply points, instead of fallen brothers who died in combat.

[Recounted]

It sounded gud then it sounded..Off. Like would you really want to see a corpse that looks like it was packaged meat be sent on a SUPPLY shuttle? I dunno about this.

[MrJJJ]

What the jesus fucking christ? do you people want to send your comrades out there for necrophiliacs, organ harvesters, and other scientists to use just to get some fucking supply points?

This is CM not Snowpiercer

[Hyperio]

-1. It's a bit strange to consider fellow dead comrades as points to order more stuffs. However, maybe a small shuttle could be added. It could be called, then would dock to the Alamayer. Marines load the corpses on it then send it back. Just for RP, no points earned. Maybe with USCM flags inside the shuttle and red carpet.

[Dolth]

You bunch of hypocrits. First off you don't always need a SOLID RP reason behind a fix/feature as we saw plenty of times before. AND, barely no one gives a fuck about dead people. I dare you to check the morgue at each round off it BARELY have more than 5 dead people PER ROUND.

It's already hard to have competent Req, having marines a little boost than enhance their RP and features is not a crime. And if you realy wanna dig into your so-called "medium RP" just assume famillies paid for the points. That's it, and I still uphold my +1.

[WinterClould]

Theres almost nothing that anyone could say to make me change my mind about giving cargo a way to get more points. I still support this.

[Bronimin]

Marines seem to be happy to leave the corpses of their comrades to rot at the side of the landing pad, I thought that if those marines saw the corpses as future HEAT rockets in waiting then they might bother to do something about them. The supply ship is the only ship that moves back and forth from our mysterious headquarters, and as far as I know casualties in wars today are flown back on supply ships as well, though I don't know much on the topic.

Supply points IC are a reward from the company for not leaving the corpse to compost and get eaten by worms planetside. If the Liason is doing his job, W-Y will know that we are taking losses. If he isn't, well... the CT on duty can scrawl a note in crayon and chuck it in with the coffins as explanation. Maybe the corpses should be left in the freezers, but I figure that they have proper preservation methods on their end and the corpses won't turn grey and rot as they do in our morgue.

I like the idea of urns, it means that the bodies at least have to /stop off/ at the morgue first, and aren't moved straight to the cargo deck for recycling. Easier to transport, too, in case people want to hold a ceremony in the garden before the urns are launched. It means that the bodies have to he handles by a medical professional, and CT's won't steal corpses for their RO plasteel autism-fort/ maze.

[completelynewguy]

Alternatively, why not have the Cargo points boost occur when a supply shuttle leaves with coffins only? For easier processing or something along those lines.

[Dolth]

No. I think supply points have to be earnt through processing and ashes in urns should be shipped back. That way you get extra points from extra work and you don't just waste dead people. Also. A little system that allows only naked people to be ashed (prevents wasting items).
