Body Scanner Printout Addition

Post by Wesmas » 28 Nov 2015, 13:21

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Add a note to the body scanner if the persons face is broken (unkown as...).

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Allows surgons to focus on the paper, not needing to check the person themselfs. Less people with the name Unkown as after head atacking aliens(or marines)

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
I have been playing as a doctor, and I use the print outs from the full body scanner to tell me what I need to operate on. Once I am operating, I pay no attention to the person. The names dont really enter my head. However, on occasion I will have people with broken faces, with the unkown as (ID card name). The surgery to fix this is simple, but I dont notice it because there is nothing on the print out I rely on to tell me about it.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
I would imagine adding it to the data for the body scanner. I guess it would fit in the head section. It would need something like "Their voice box is broken" as that is part of what the surgery fixes.

Neutral.

Good hunting.

Neutral. I don't forsee broken faces as too important to fix as a doctor compared to other injuries. A messed up face making them Unknown isn't life threatening, and the time fixing that could be used to treat other marines.

I know its not a priority, but it irks my perfectionist side to leave them half done. It is an operation I would sidetrack when busy, but at least its a choice and not ignorance to the problem. I dont think it would take much to add it to the system. It would just make it better for the not too busy times, instead of waking them up then realising their face needs fixing.

Why? Your character should be able to "see" that their face is all fucked. Hover your mouse for a fraction of a second and it will say something like Unknown as billy Jean or (Billy Jean) as Billy Jean.

I guess this comes down to me not checking the face. I have had two ripped faces in about 5 days. It is a rare ocourance. Its certainly not something I think to check, particuarly as I try to get the surgery done quickly to get people back into their fun. To my mind its not going to make doctors any more powerful, just a bit less hassle.
I can also apprisiate this is a low priority, so if you decided to not due to other things being more important I understand. I would just have to learn to check.

Again, just hover your mouse of them for a second or so, but scarred up faces shouldn't be priority for surgery anyway.
