Remove the medical implant fultons

[Magniras]

Core goal

Get rid of the fultons and give parameds something to do all shift.

Detailed description

Remove the fulton component of the medical tracker, and instead have it only be a death rattle that spits out your coords on crit, death, and/or return of your lifeless corpse from expeditions.

Why this change?

We need some sense of risk, and some kind of gameplay for parameds. This solves both at once.

Submission checklist

• I have searched for existing issues (open/closed) and this is not a duplicate
• I understand that this proposal will need 48h discussion + 24h vote before possible implementation
• I am aware that directors may overrule a vote with a public reason

Damn, thanks. Saved me the effort.

This has been talked a loooooot about, hope you can get some figuring out on it? I proposed similarly, but there's some obstacles folks might mention.

Personally i was thinking of leaving them in but change them to a proper insurance system. There are three tiers:

• Bronze (free): basic medical implanter; tells people on medical comms that you crit/died and where
• Silver (10.000 spesos): shoutout on medical comms AND teleports you to your ship. (Also repeats shoutout after the ship FTLs)
• Gold (100.000 spesos): standard medical tracker like we have now: shoutout for your location and teleport to the ICU.

You can either set the insurance in the loadout or by buying a better tracker at the medical vendors

I like this a lot more. It would also enable more time to refine the fultons in interim and see what does work and doesn't.

This is a decent balance I think allowing for the Paramedic to have a job or medic Freelancer but still giving the safety net. I would still encourage that the fulton pull on Gold tier occurs after the first stage of rot begins personally.

It’d change nothing and fultons would still be exactly as prevalent as they already are because money is valueless and most people that would need a fulton are multi-millionaires.

Gosh its almost like my fuss of the economy being horrendous and needs to be fixed has more reasoning, truthfully. another matter entirely, but, yeah. As per norm I prefer a gradient-option over stern fist of no-question, no consideration.

there's a reason there's an uproar about the CDETs.
