At first this struck me as wrong, but the more I think about it it's true.Field Medic: Not necessary. PCs that are field medics sometimes just feel like second infantry until someone gets hurt.
I agree when it comes to disarming bombs, fixing broken equipment, or interacting specific ship systems like accessing weapons subroutines on an enemy vessel. But when it comes to "unlocking stuff" or "bypassing basic security measures," SAINT soldiers have long been shoehorned into standard RPG rogue class tropes.I definitely disagree on the technician thing, there's no one who is going to have the skills of someone who works on starships and technology for a living. SAINT people simply don't have the technical skills of technicians.
Now it makes sense why Mineko's never been able to do something in an access panel or computer without one of your NPCs jumping in to help. I'll be real, that's frustrated me because a SAINT agent should have fieldcraft understanding and be able to work with ally or enemy technology. To assume they can't but a medic can is not what I would do. But part of the fun of writing in a group is being presented with what other people think your character should do.I definitely disagree on the technician thing, there's no one who is going to have the skills of someone who works on starships and technology for a living. SAINT people simply don't have the technical skills of technicians.
But we're talking away missions. I see a red panel being very good at fixing the ship and, I suppose for an away mission, fixing their ally's armor. On an away mission they're not going to be better than an operative at rigging or dealing with traps, opening doors, and general technology. But it's a difference of opinion, I'm just double disagreeing now! Which is fine! But try to remember the last time a PC red panel did any of those things.Their black ships are maintained by red-panels just like every other Star Army fleet's.
