MTs aren't malnourished when late-joining from cryo

Post by Complete Garbage » 30 Aug 2015, 10:57

Bug Description:
I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but MTs, when they come out of cryo (and possible Sulaco doctors, too) are not malnourished like normal marines.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Join as MT.
2.Check hunger.
Cohen 'Double-F' Blyant Confirmed Combat Stats:
Intentional marine kills: 0
Friendly-fire kills: 2
Friendly-fire injuries: 9
Total aliens killed: 10
T3s killed: 2
Queens killed: 1
Times infected: Too many to count.
Deaths: See above.
Deaths by friendly-fire: 1

In case you couldn't tell, I'm pretty bad at this.

now that i think about it that IS true, i've never once been hungry as a doctor when i join the game at roundstart, granted i always eat right away anyways as part of my routine (its better to eat when you can then to go hungry when theres a rush of patients who need you) but strictly speaking its not necessary.

it MAY be a feature, since certain jobs are assumed to be awake either all the time, or more often then the marines alone are, so maybe they got an earlier lunch before the rush?

I think this is intentional, you know they maintain and keep the sulaco running same with doctors and other jobs.
In other words they are like 24/7 jobs.

Alright, thanks, it's more than likely intentional then, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a bug.

I'm pretty sure the main reason - other than them being awake in lore - is to force marines to stop for just these 2 seconds it takes to eat something before grabbing a rifle and jumping on the dropship. Not to give aliens these 2 seconds more to evolve, but to give marines 2 seconds to... well, think, RP, pretend that they're a normal human being and not just characters in Battlefield/CoD...

his issue isn't that the marines ARE hungry, but rather that doctors and medical techs ARENT

Maybe you can argue the MT's and Doctors were just in the room supervising the wake up procedure?

I also think its fine that MT's and Doctors are not hungry, they both have more important things to get started such as the engine room and ensuing the medbay is ready to go.

I understand that. Just saying that MTs and Doctors generally have no problems behaving like humans, and if they get to their jobs straight away, it doesn't impact the aliens negatively. Meanwhile, marines need to be stopped for both balance and to help them get in character.

Just don't make RO and CT malnourished from round start. Or will go to hell.
