Re: [OoC] Discussion thread
Well, I admit I feel some unease in regard to this given that right now, the medical staff is being of use.
At its peak, Miharu is an action plot. This means that the bridge crew get most of the spotlight in ship battles, with the engineering crew coming second. For ground/spacy power armor battles, the infantry crew obviously shines more, with a bit of support from the engineering crew and the bridge crew.
Realistically speaking, with the level of difficulty I apply to encounters, player characters are bound to get hurt... but I don't like the idea of deliberatingly hurting player characters so to give the medical crew something to do (in theory, if everyone acts really smart and up to their game, they might not get hurt at all).
It's something of a dilemma ^_^; Balancing plot advancement and giving players the satisfaction of being useful is not very easy.
