Says a 5 kiloton explosion has a 20psi blast radius of 0,78 km, and a fireball radius of 150m. Yeah. Yeaaaah.

Good thing that kiloton-level nuclear devices are rare and expensive, and not handed out to former convicts of dubious reliability if they say "Please" and wave a handful of plastic at the AM.

Hi. I'm pretty new to ER, as some of you know. My character is alive on the ship, and has been facepalmed and thrown at another character, with some success!

I intend him to be primarily a support character, and wondered about working on some modified items for support crew on missions. I have little knowledge of the game universe - I kinda want to explore as I go, but wold my character know how to contact the Hephaestus people? Would he even likely get a hearing?

A couple things I am interested in are suits designed for medics and mechanics, and perhaps something like a grav sled or something for transporting spare parts. I think I had a couple other ideas too, but I would kinda like my character to be involved in broaching the topic o the suits and some other things if those aren't already a thing.

Please forgive any clumsiness in this post

If you want to help with medical stuff, you're welcome to bounce ideas off of me and RC for the AMMT(armored mobile medical transport). Right now I'm trying to sort out what equipment we can reasonably take, and other input is welcome.

[Ozarck]

what's an armored mobile medical transport? Like an APC?

[tryrar]

Sorta yeah(though currently it needs the cargo capacity of a full sized panel van for all the stuff). Basically a field medical transport for stirching up and reviving troopers

[Ozarck]

Okay, so I googled panel van. Looks much smaller than an armored personnel carrier, or even an ambulance (oh, some of them look to be as big as an ambulance ,and looks like APC is a catchall term for armored vehicles - I was thinking of the large 20 seaters and whatnot, not 6 seat jeeps). What's the issue? Where would I find the list of items currently considered for taking?

..excuse me, I meant white panel delivery truck. A bit of a difference there

is it a white beat up truck?

[Ozarck]

not a pick-up, spazyak. More like a commercial delivery vehicle, (a box truck, but not an eighteen wheeler)

Yeah, those are on the larger side. Essentially, you would require a dedicated shuttle for medical. That seems unlikely, given the small team sizes for missions. Now, if it were two to four teams of twenty persons, maybe.

I'd like a list of medical equipment you're thinking of installing and see if I can help prioritize for different size vehicles a little. Honestly, I just don't know what we have in terms of medical. I've read something about a nanobot infusion, (Did I read that Mesk had bugs inside him? Someone else mentioned a Hive, too) some kind of hole plugging gel, stasis bags, and ... that's about it that I can remember off the top of my head.

Irrelevant idea: The teleporter gun works by some sort of reasonance or harmonics or some sort of vibration like that which is why it can't handle complex or organic stuff.
But its range is limited because it requires exponentially more energy the greater the distance you want to teleport something and the greater the size of the thing you want to teleport.
Then we have a material that is really good at vibration.
Combining the two might up the range, make telefragging more viable, maybe even make it long range enough to be used on fighter ships or missiles.
Or it might amplify the effect, allowing you to teleport larger things.
Or it might cause it to explode. Or it might cause a blastwave of teleporting particles to appear around the user.
Whatever happens there's a chance it'll be fun.

ahhh...cool. So we could make it a ups truck.

I like that! I'll add it to the list of "stuff to experiment with".

can I work on that/test it. I like the sound of it.

[Ozarck]

My character is brand new. Is there an IC reason he would be communicating with Hephaestus? I kinda doubt he even knows it exists, yet. Hasn't even seen the armory / Ship R&D yet.

I'll still post thoughts here, either way.

[Nikitian]

Well, at the very least, you'll probably learn of its existence when the new missions come as a shipment from Hephaestus will arrive (hopefully containing delicious prototypes).

And sure, any useful thoughts are welcome here!
