Increase doctor max cap from 3 to 5.

[yPDw2tCiUni9KSgsGWrjw6qtjYLMpr]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
In this thread we discuss if increasing the doctor cap from 3 to 5 is a good or bad idea, and why.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Medbay usually goes into overdrive about 1 hour into the round, it will get overflooded with injured Mahreens and some Doctors are magically missing.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Increase the max cap for doctors so more could spawn.
Round-start would not immediately fill the doctor slot up.

Edit #1: TL;DR: Lategame docs would have a higher probability of actually being there.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Code: Select all
