Lacy Scraps super duper guide to Requistions. Part 1: CRATES [ in progress]

[KingKire]

CRATE LIST: The wiki is outdated currently, but here's the crates i've managed to scramble out so far:
The list works as so:
Name [point cost/ point cost with crate refunded] ( "how useful/ efficient to order said crate in a game" out of 5)

special hints:
- You gain 2 supply points every 30 seconds, which is 4 points a minute.
- Any crate shipped back to high command will give you 5 supply points as soon as the ship docks at the command port
- properly processed shipping papers ( the papers that come inside the crate, not the ones printed from the computers) will give you 1 supply point if the paper is shipped back with the correct stamp.
- I haven't checked it out, but i believe improperly processed papers will lose you 1 supply point. Needs testin
- There is no other way of generating supply points. Phoron, thalers, people... none of those will work, unless... i have never tried it but maybe you can make a deal with high command for extra points via the wayland-yutani fax machine?
- You can hack the supply shipping console to gain access to a contraband crate order by multitooling the supply chip to broadband. I have not ordered it, but it's there as an option.



OPERATIONS:

► Show Spoiler

SPECIAL OPS CRATE: [50/44 pts] ( 0 out of 5)

• 2x Suppressors
  2x Red-dot sights
  2x Smoke Bombs
  2x Swatmasks

All in all, a horrible crate. About the only thing useful in the crate is the red dot sights. The suppressors offer no combat benefit against Xenos. Smoke bombs are bad, not only can you get them elsewhere, they do not effect xenos at all. Swatmasks, i don't know about these, they might offer slight bullet resistance but they do not protect against facehuggers.

RAIL ATTACHMENTS: [40/35 pts] (5 out of 5)

• 1x Red-dot sight
  1x Rail scope
  3x Magnetic harness
  1x Quickfire adapter

A great crate, everything offered in it will be used and put to good effect on the field.

MUZZLE ATTACHMENTS: [40/35 pts] (3 out of 5)

• 1x Recoil Compensator
  1xBarrel charger
  1x Suppressor
  1x Extended barrel
  1x Bayonet

Only crate with the barrel charger and compensator in it, it would be a good buy except we have a mediore extended barrel, and the really bad suppressor and bayonet attachments. The bayonet is a great attachment, but you can easily make it in house. This is a poor to decent crate to buy

UNDER BARREL ATTACHMENTS [ 45/40 pts]

• ?

I never bought it but im sure it carry's a few Grenade Launchers, Master-keys, and Mini-flamers. All are good and decent attachments but a lot of marines tend to rarely use them, or only use the Grenade Launcher. I cant rate this because i have not bought it before.

STOCK ATTACHMENTS [45/40 pts] ( 2 out of 5)

• 2x m37 shotgun stocks
  2x 41a rifle stocks
  2x .44 magnum stocks

Decent items, but the crate is a little expensive. People rarely stack on .44 magnum stocks and moderately load up on m37 shotgun stocks. I wouldnt spend points on it and just go with other crates instead, maybe the W-Y gun crate and chance getting some marksman rifles if you really need the rifle stocks.

SQUAD BEACONS [30/25] (4 out of 5)

• 2x Squad supply beacons
  2x Orbital beacons

A crate that all depends on those in charge who use it. If you do order a crate, make sure to tell the squad leaders and the BO's that you have supplies and they need to make use of them. Order them to deploy their beacons. They need supplies wether they think they do or not. Good commanders and leaders will make this crate amazing, poor ones will turn it into 25 wasted points. The crate is slightly expensive but, if used well, makes it worth every point.

WEBING CRATE [40/35 pts] ( 4 out of 5)

• 1x Shoulder holster
  1x Brown webbing vest
  3x webbing
  1x Load bearing equipment

A great crate to buy early in the deployment, giving out webbing to key personal can make all the difference due to space restrictions. Later on in the deployment, space becomes alot less of an issue or a factor so there really is no point to buying more after briefing due to other pressing concerns.

EXPLOSIVES CRATE [50/45] (5 out of 5)

• 3x Mine boxes
  1x HE grenade
  1x incendiary grenade

Amazing crate to buy, 12 mines can easily create a fortress out of the weakest FOBs and Firebases. Very effective in the early rounds against weak xeno's. Almost never a waste of points unless the mines are set up in very poor locations. This crate is absolutely useless if fighting on the SULACO though, as mines can only be deployed on the colony. I would not mind trading 1 mine box maybe for 2x high explosive and 3x incendiary grenades though in this kit, but otherwise an amazing purchase.

HOVERPOD SHIPMENT [ 150 pts](0 out of 5)

• 1x Hoverpod

Holy cow, that's a big buy for something so...useless? I'm pretty sure that aliens are unable to see people located inside mechs, so this can safely hide 2 people inside of it if the occupants do not arose suspicion. Its benefits are that it can float in space, doesn't require space suits, is already equipped with a hydrolic clamp, and can hold 5 crates in its cargo hold. You can also equip 3 civilian mech attachments on it, but don't expect much. This pod is slow, poor at fighting, weak armor, and generally just poor all around. Its meant for space exploration and there is no reason for anyone on the SULACO to go to space.

AUTHENTICATION KEY PIN POINTER CRATE[ 250 pts] (-1 out 5)

• 1x Pin pointer?

WOAH, now you can find where that nuke key is! Except, most people already know its held in the secure storage. Whats even worse is that in order to arm the nuclear device, the nuke has to be located planet side, as well as getting the authorization code from mother... a almost literal once a year event. So this crate is doubly worthless as well as being insanely expensive.

SUPPLIES:

► Show Spoiler

KITCHEN SUPPLY CRATE: [15/10 pts] (1 out of 5)

• x?

Carries some kitchen supplies. why did you buy this?

USCM MRE CRATE [10/5 pts] (1 out of 5)

• x?

holds some MRE's for troops, but again...why did you buy this?

W-Y MRE CRATE [x] (1 out of 5 )

• x?

please...why...just why... there is an amazing amount of food on the SULACO. just buy a crate of boxes and stuff those instead IF you even needed to feed the troops that much.

MONKEY CRATE [20/15 pts] (1 out of 5)

• x3 monkey cubes

Holds 3 monkeys... generally almost worthless unless your doing something sciency/ roleplay and dont want to use humans to feed aliens...you baby.

OXYGEN INTERNALS [10/5 pts] (-1 out of 5)

• 3x oxygen tanks
  3x oxygen masks

No point to this, unless somehow the whole was vented to space and you somehow used ALL of the SULACO's spare internals. Amazing if you did, but -1 all the same.

emergency equipment [x](x out of 5)

• x?

JANITORIAL SUPPLIES [X] (x out of 5)

• x?

MULE BOT CRATE [160 pts]( ? out of 5)

• 1x MULE bot

Now, i've never ordered this so i'm not quite sure if the MULEbot would work on the SULACO, if it could work on the colony, or if it could work on both. It is certainly very expensive. IF it did work on the SULACO, it might make transporting troopers or turrets or equipment easier maybe, but the real big ticket would be if it could work on the colony. The colony contains one MULE bot on its own, but i am unsure if it is functional. If it did function, it could make it easy to resupply far out squads or bring back wounded troopers quickly without costing more men. It could essentially be purchasing a robotic butler. I don't know. So much potential but so much cost. (also to note, the colony mulebot does not recognize a CT or RO's authorization)

ENGINEERING:

► Show Spoiler

INFLATABLE BARRIER CRATE [20/15] (0 out of 5)

• x?

Why? there are already 6 or 7 inflatable cases on the SULACO. Soft, delicate, these barriers have no place in a battlefield.

REPLACEMENT LIGHTS (0 out of 5)

• 3x box of lights

How many light bulbs are you going through? Just make some in the auto lathe you dolt. ( Unless somehow you are attacked by a random spooky entity which blows out all the lights on the SULACO. Then you'll be called an idiot cargo tech, why didnt you stock up on enough light bulbs to refit the ship.)

50 METAL SHEETS CRATE [10/5 pts] ( 10 out of 5)

• x50 metal sheets

Your bread, this is what RO should be buying, and buying a lot of. Metal is the lifeblood of battle and you need a lot of it. You should have 5 stacks minimum on the SULACO and try to have 5 stacks at the FOB at all times. I dont care if they scream bloody mary for a turret, if you don't have metal stacks, you get metal stacks first.

50x GLASS SHEETS CRATE [10/5 pts] (2 out of 5)

• x50 glass sheets

You rarely need a lot of glass on the SULACO, mostly for small window repairs or making things in the autolathe. Worse comes to worse, you should only every order 1 of these crates. You do not need that much glass.

50x WOODEN PLANKS [10/5 pts] (1 out of 5)

• x50 wooden plants

You must either be building coffins for the whole ship or decorating it with wood floors. Its a waste, dont buy this.

SUPER CONDUCTING METAL CORE CRATE: [150pts] (? out of 5)

• x?

Never bought this but i think it has to be a part for the smess units. very expensive and if it is a smess part, its really useless.

FIELD GENERATOR CRATE:

• 2x field generators

This i believe is for containing one singularity engine, but the SULACO switched over to the supermatter engine. This is a worthless buy and is NOT the same force field generator as the ones in storage.
unless im using it wrong, this does nothing. (Requires CE to unlock.)

COLLECTOR CRATE:

• x?

Holds radiation collectors if its correct, could be useful if some radiation collectors were damaged and you were skilled enough to rebuild a new supermatter engine...without dying to anything else.

SUPER MATTER CORE CRATE: [50/45 pts] ( Theres no power! out of 5)

• 1x supermatter core

Surprisingly a common enough buy despite how simple a SM engine is to operate. If the SM core was ejected for whatever reason, you can order a spare one right here. It is perfectly safe...INSIDE...the box. Do not open it until it is properly sitting in the Core room on top of the mass driver. You can pull the core into place if somehow you messed up, but you better be prepared for some radiation. It must be noted, do not touch, shoot, or move the core if you dont know what your doing. Any energy or matter that touches it will energize the core, releasing a massive burst of heat and radiation.
Can only be opened by engineers i think.

RADATION SUIT CRATE [x](x out of 5)

• x?

If you need these, you either really fucked up or someone really griefed hard.

WEAPONS:

► Show Spoiler

M240 INCENERATOR CRATE [30/25pts] (4 out of 5)

• 3x m240 incenrators
  3x phoron tanks

Amazingly good buy due to how cheap this is. Flamers are really great at removing weeds, tight spaces, and forcing xenos to back off. They have an adjustable spray nozzle, the normal mode of 100 Kpa can fire out about 10 shots before needing refilled. I have never tested it with the max release of 1000kpa. Flamers start half filled, so make sure to borrow a phoron canister tank from engineering to refill them to max pressure. Flamers are amazingly dangerous to users as well, easily capable of crit burning marines while only moderately damaging to xenos, so do watch that friendly fire. Due to its low cost, amazing close quarter defense, make sure to have a crate or two stocked up.

SENTRY CRATE [120/115pts] (4 out of 5)

• 1x sentry

The sentry turret is a powerful tool, but its also a large sum of points which can create an scenario where you have all your eggs in this one pivot mounted basket. The sentry has great strengths and great drawbacks and you need to make sure that the squad that gets it will make sure it lasts a long time or saves alot of lives. I personally will only buy a spare sentry if all the other bread and butter supplies have been stocked up. Other than that, its a great weapon if you can spare the points for it.

BLACK MARKET FIREARM BOX [25 pts] (2 out of 5)
x1 black market gun and 2 spare ammo clips for said weapon
possible weapons include;

• -Double Barreled shotgun [clip: x?]
  -Vintage Deagle [ clip: x12] ( comes in titanium or gold plating, moderate damage)
  -Hold-out Pistol [clip:x?]( Burstfire)
  -Custom Built Shotgun [clip: x8] ( Burstfire x4, notable accuracy )
  -S&W .357 [ clip: x?]
  -CMB Autorevolver [ clip: x?]
  -.45 Automag [clip: x?]
  -M1911 Pulse Pistol [clip: x?]
  -VP-70 [clip size:x?] ( AP ammo in name does not reflect Armor peircing in nature)

I personally hate this crate. Buying it is a selfish choice for sure and a crapshoot at best. You can get an amazing gun or a really crappy gun but it must be noted, that you will only get 2 spare clps for said weapon, and there is currently no way to reload or recieve new clips. If you want a gun, just take a regular rifle, you selfish snowflake. A big favorite of the coward RO, the cowboy commander, and the sneaky CL player stereotypes.

W-Y FIREARMS CRATE [40/35 pts] (3 out of 5)
3x random W-Y firearm and 2 spare clips for said weapons.
possible weapons include;

• -M4A3 pistol
  -M44 revolver
  -M37 shotgun
  -M39 SMG
  -m41a Marksman rifle variant. (Standard M41a, railscope attachment, m41a stock attachment)
  -Heavy pulse rifle: [clip: x100] (unknown if it does more damage, uses special pulse rifle ammo.)

This crate is an iffy choice. Its okay most of the time, poor a lot of the time, and excellent very rarely. This crate has a high chance of receiving basic unmodified weapons such as the pistol, the shotgun, etc. There is also the chance to receive a modified rifle, and a improved pulse rifle. None of the choices are exclusive 1 time picks, so you can receive a crate filled with 3 pulse rifles or 3 pistols. Technically cheap, it may be worth a gamble or two to receive a good spare pulse rifle or a few of the marksman rifle attachments. I would wish for a higher price on this crate and just be given modified weapons instead of having 4 unmodified ones.

NAGANT-YAMASKI FIREARM BOX [80 pts] (3 out of 5)
1x weapon with two spare clips
possible weapons include:

• -MAR-30 Carbine/40 Rifle: [clip: x40 12mm] ( Burstfire, very high damage, attachable)
  -SVD-033 Dragunov: [ clip: x 40 12mm] ( Burstfire, very high damage, equiped with Stock, equiped with rifle scope, equiped with "sniper barrel")
  -KT-45

A big ticket buy, you can get a great Russian weapon in this crate, with 2 spare clips. I have never bought it, at 80 pts, its quite the snowflake crate for one weapon, but in the right hands, it might be able to turn tides.

AMMO:

► Show Spoiler

SENTRY AMMO CRATE [60/55 pts] (2 out of 5)

• x?

Holy cow, your sentry ran out of bullets and went through the spare clip? This purchase is very expensive, half the cost of a new turret. im not sure how much ammo is in it, but i guess if you really need that ammo, this is your bet. Hopefully those bullets actually killed something


EXOTIC AMMO CRATE: [30/ 25 points] (3 out of 5)

• 2x M56 powerpacks
  1x M42 sniper rifle magazine
  1x M42 flak Magazine
  1x M42 incendiary mag

This crate holds ammo for the specialist weapons, the sniper rifle and the smartgun. If you dont have troops with these weapons, dont order this crate. If those troops with the weapons are poor and not pulling in dead xenos, dont order this crate. This crate goes to the troops who earn their title as specialist.

EXTENDED MAGAZINE CRATE (1 out of 5)
2x extended M41a rifle magazine
2x extended M39 smg magazine ( 60 rounds per clip)
2x extended M4A3 pistol magazine

Technically good, these magazines are a poor buy simply due to the fact that not many marines require that extra extended magazine, making it a snowflake purchase. Tell those troopers to suck it up and carry the extra two magazines. The clips themselves are a poor buy due to the clips are unable to be reloaded making it a one use buy. very poor.

EXPLOSIVE CRATE [30/25 pts]
A shit ton of rockets, 1 or two gernades

Do not buy this crate if no one is using the SADAR.

ARMOR:

► Show Spoiler

m3 ARMOR CRATE [x] (x out of 5)

• x?

SQUAD LEADER ARMOR CRATE: [40/35 pts] (2 out of 5)

• 1x M11 Pattern Leader Helmet
  1x B12 Pattern Leader Armor

Holy cow, 35 points for a single troopers worth of armor? Very expensive, Its usually more important just to tell your squad leaders not to die, or at least have the decency to strip off their helmet cam
Essentially the only reason you buy this kit is to get that replacement helmet, and my god does it feel bad to order that helmet. Lets buy some other items instead, the replacement squad leader is most likely worse then the original.

MEDICAL:

► Show Spoiler

MEDICAL CRATE [25/20 pts] ( 5 out of 5)

• X?

Ahhhh the butter to your bread, Its important to keep the river of medicine flowing to get wounded troopers alive on the ground. This crate has all the goods to keep a squad of soldiers kicking along, its best keep 1 or two crates in stock, and have 1 or 2 crates active on the FOB and Firebase. each crate can usually keep a squad together after a small to moderate firefight, so keep it coming.

BODY BAG CRATE [10/5 pts]( 1 out of 5)

• 3x body bag boxes

This one is a little to pessimistic to buy, i would rather spend points keeping soldiers alive then sealing up the dead.

STASIS BAG CRATE:[40/35 pts] ( 1 out of 5)

• 3x stasis bags

Unique purchase, stasis bags are not used very often due to the current ability to clone troopers from the dead. Maybe if cloning is removed, they might make more of an impact but right now, they are a waste of points. also, the crate is very expensive for only 3 bags.

SURGERY CRATE: [25/20 pts] (2 out of 5)
1x Cautery (autolathe)

• 1x surgical drill (autolathe)
  1x hemostat (autolathe)
  1x scalpel (autolathe)
  1x retractor (autolathe)
  1x bone setter (autolathe)
  1x circular saw (autolathe)
  1x bone gel ( seems the only thing you cant get a replacement of)
  1x medical mask
  1x anesthetic tank
  1x fixOVein

Everything you need in this crate can be made in an auto or protolathe, or picked up from medical supplies. I wouldnt buy this unless the situation was immediate in need.

STERILE CLOTHING CRATE: [ 15/10pts] (2 out of 5)

• 1x box of medical gloves
  1x box of medical masks
  2x green surgery suits
  3x medical belts

I dont know if these items are useful....i am no doctor but i dont hear medical asking for it, therefore, it must not be good.

CLOTHING: why are you here...you are selfish and should feel bad.

► Show Spoiler

Womans formal dress locker [45/40 pts ] (0 out of 5)
Collectible hat crate [ 200/ 195 pts] ( -50 out of 5...if you buy this, i will find you and space you and nobody will blame me)
officer outfit [45/40 pts] (1 out of 5)
marine outfit [25/20 pts] ( 1 out of 5)

SCIENCE:

► Show Spoiler

PHORON ASSEMBLY [50/45 pts] (2 out of 5)

• 3x phoron tanks
  3x igniters
  3x proximity sensors
  3x timers

The only way to get more phoron once it is all exhausted, this kit carries some of the tools to create massive explosions. Can only be unlocked by Researcher.

[jaggaaff]

Black Market Weapons:
VIntage Deagle (It can be obtained in regular Titanium, or in Gold. 12 .50AE round mags, damage is around the smartgun, from what i've seen.)
Hold-out Pistol (Shitty at best, but does have burstfire in it, making it a ghetto M4A3 with burstfire attachment and can slice away a good portion of most ayylium's HP)
Custom Built Shotgun (The Holy-Grail of shotguns, and maybe even weapons in general, Burstfire ability of 4 rounds and solid accuracy allows this shotgun to potentially OHKO T3s and ancient T2s. But it comes at a cost of not being able to have attachments and it's 8 round clip.)
S&W .357
CMB Autorevolver
.45 Automag
M1911 Pulse Pistol
VP-70 (the AP ammo is just a name AFAIK, and does not demonstrate any actual AP effects from my knowledge)

Nagant-Yamasaki Firearm:
MAR-30 Carbine/40 Rifle: Ruskie 12mm weapon with very high damage (3-shot burst from a MAR hitting a runner killed it me thinks) and burst fire with the ability of attaching attachments. Comes with a 40 round mag and interchangable with the SVD
SVD-033 Dragunov: Every marine's wetdream(because survivors can easily get it) Burstfire ability, and very high damage, along with a built-in stock and scope with sniper barrel makes this an excellent machine. EVEN better if wielded in the right hands. (Reccomended approach is to take off the stock and maybe rail scope if you're not going planetside anytime soon and trade it for an RDS and toggle that burst-fire on).
KT-45

On the note of "everything you need is able to be autolathed" in the surgery crate. Bone-fix is REQUIRED as bone-fractures are the MOST common interal injury and one of the UNFIXABLE by drugs(Organ damage>Peridaxon,Internal bleeding?>Quick-Clot,Eye damage?>Imid-whateverthefuckitwas)

EDIT: The underbarrel crate ALSO contains shit that mahreens use which are: Bipod, Foregrip, and Gyro.

[KingKire]

Mmm, ill add it in these items right now. thank you haha. So there is no other way to get bone-fix? Not even the vendor switch-a-roo with empty packets?
edit: whats the kt-45?

[Steelpoint]

I think this is a good guide, even if its just to show a list of what each crate has.

[Jeser]

I think this is a good guide, even if its just to show a list of what each crate has.

It's, actually, awesome guide, since I when I was making my guide, I was too lazy to seek for crates content list and I always wanted to have one.

[TangoThree]

I thought I'd add a Doctor's perspective on the Medical crates:

MEDICAL CRATE [25/20 pts]
basic medical supplies

This is for dropping to Squad Medics, not my area. If it has the same contents as the default Baystation medical crate, quite a lot of the stuff inside is useless but the troopers will be able to scavenge the useful parts easily enough (and the good stuff in there is worth the points). You might want to get the RO to ask the Doctors on :m whether or not they've made any pills that you could add to the supply drop. Or take a peek in the fridge in the Medbay foyer, and grab an assortment of whatever has been left there for the Squad Medics.

BODY BAG CRATE [10/5 pts]
3x body bag boxes

You're spot on with this one being mostly useless. Body bags are infinitely re-usable, and medical already has a box full of them at round start. They are useful for quickly bagging up and dragging large piles of loose gear though, so you might actually find a couple come in handy for moving cargo about - and 5 net points is a dirt cheap crate. You could also just steal a bag from the cloning bay when the Doctors aren't looking though (just don't take the whole box, we do actually use them).

STASIS BAG CRATE:[40/35 pts]
3x stasis bags

The only way to get new stasis bags. They're infrequently used, and dangerous to the patient even when they do get employed. They are, however, single-use (opening the bag destroys it) so if the Squad Medics use them all up you might want to think about buying some. This is a very expensive crate for what it contains though; if the marines are getting hurt enough to need this there are better things to spend those points on.

SURGERY CRATE: [25/20 pts]
1x set of surgical tools
1x anaesthetic tank and mask

This crate is awesome, but you'll probably only need to buy one.

Medical starts off with three operating theatres (two in medbay and one in the hangar), and only two sets of tools. If they have the staff, and especially if they're sending someone down to the FOB as a field surgeon, this crate is the only way to properly equip a new operating theatre. Most of the tools can be autolathed, but one of the ones that can't (bonegel) is absolutely essential. Broken bones are the number one reason for surgery, and one of only two or three injuries that can't be corrected any other way. In a pinch they can use a screwdriver instead, but that's likely to lead to them screwing up surgery and injuring their patients. If the CMO sends a doctor down to the FOB, this crate is an essential minimum requirement for them to get set up unless the map contains surgical tools they can scavenge planetside. If your medbay is fully staffed, you can expect them to want certainly one and possibly two of these crates during a round. 20 points isn't a huge ask, and it'll save lives.

STERILE CLOTHING CRATE: [15/10pts]
1x box of medical gloves
1x box of medical masks
2x green surgery suits
3x medical belts

Medical belts are useless because Combat Lifesaver Bags exist, and if there are no CLBs left there's already a ton of belts in Medbay. The other stuff helps prevent infections during operations if worn by the surgeon. Medical starts with a box of masks and a box of gloves, and the lockers there contain more scrubs. Unless something goes incredibly wrong these won't be needed, and if something's gone that wrong there will be much more important things to order. Don't bother with this one.
