What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion aims to make Nu-7 Medics more useful in combat against hostile GOIs such as CI or GOC when at war (Please dont go into war with us), without taking away from the Medical Department’s role.
Currently, Nu-7 Medics lacks combat support tools on the surface. I am proposing limited access to the !medic menu, the same way that R&D already has which foundation doesnt have. Unlike the Medical Department, they would not use medical machines such as infection cures or the ECT machine — only the basic !medic functions.
At present, Nu-7 Medics (and DEA) must return all the way to the Foundation to treat fractures or diseases, which interrupts surface combat flow. Buying morphine for exemple is only a temporary solution which everyone need to remember to do, requiring constant restocking and discouraging longer usage.
This change would not make Nu-7 into a medical branch, but instead give them basic self-sufficiency during combat — enough to reduce the unnecessary limitation and keep them effective against CI/GOC, while still leaving advanced treatment and machines and psych evals etc. for the Medical Department.
This will just bring Nu-7 medics with the R&D jobs surface factions have along with their medics. This will overall boost SOP in general and make surface more enjoyable especially if at war with the UNGOC which gained a nice buff and their constant war with CI.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Yes — a past suggestion asked for unrestricted !medic menu access and weapon buffs, which was denied. This version is different because:
- It removes the request for weapon changes entirely.
- It only gives access to the !medic menu, like R&D, not medical machines.
- It makes clear that machines such as disease scanners and the ECT machine remain Medical-only.
- It emphasizes Nu-7 staying in their assisting role, not replacing Medical.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Makes the Nu-7 Medic role more engaging and meaningful in combat against CI/GOC.
- Reduces unnecessary trips back to Foundation during firefights.
- Brings parity with CI/GOC medics and R&D, who already have !medic access.
- Improves surface combat flow by allowing medics to keep their squad fighting longer.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Slight reduction in Medical Department interactions.
- Risk of abuse if !medic is unrestricted (can be solved with limits such as surface-only use or cooldowns).
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This change would give Nu-7 Medics just enough tools to stay useful in surface combat without turning them into full-time doctors. Unlike the denied version, it doesn’t touch weapon balance or grant access to medical machines. Instead, it mirrors what R&D already has, leaves the ECT machine and infection scanners strictly to Medical, and ensures surface combat against CI/GOC remains enjoyable and sustainable.
