Decompression Needles

Post by Biolock » 16 Apr 2016, 22:43

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Replace Inaprovaline with decompression needles, also known as "needle-Ds", that's it, don't change anything else other than its name and its spirit.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It's a very commonly used military medical tool that serves a /similar/ purpose to inaprovaline, I just think it would be a cool addition for when there's time to play with the code. A needle D is used when someone's lung cavity has been punctured and is letting in air; because your lung cavity needs to be a vacuum, you use a needle D to drain someone's lung cavity of air (often used for gun shot wounds).
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

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

Just change the spirit and the name of the item, easy stuff.
I'm stressing way too hard about what to put here, so I'm just gonna leave it blank.... or....

I like the idea, but I don't like the idea of replacing Inaprovaline. Inaprovaline is a mix of multiple chemicals that heal Injuries that is directly injected typically through an Auto-Injector or Manuel Needle; A Decompression Needle is a simple device to alivate building pressure in the chest cavity due to Pneumothorax(Collapsed Lung) or to allow blood to escape the chest cavity due to eternal bleeding from various extreme Injuries, it can also be used to create an airway if the passage is blocked in emergencies.

Similarly to how they made the replacement from the defibrillators to the needle D in battlefield, I think the same could be done with inaprovaline. It doesn't have to make too much sense, it's just more for the aesthetic value.

Why can't we have both?

Replace inaprovaline? Ha! No. It's a chem. One that I personally don't find to be too useful, but it's also an ingredient for more useful medicines. What I THINK you're trying to suggest is replacing the autoinjectors with a 'Needle-D', which I personally don't care either way. Doesn't really need to be changed, but... Eh.

Inaprovaline is more used for more than just collapsed lungs, it is also a general healing medicine. It improves you general condition. I don't see this being added.

Probably not right now. We need to rework medical to be more robust and code friendly before doing alternative medicine type things. Denied for now.
