Can the Auto Doc ever be trusted on Automatic? I've heard and a few times witnessed horrifying events that resulted from Automatic.

Short answer, No

Long answer, NOOOOOOOO.

This is because, as a doctor,

1. you can't tell how long the patient has left.
2. It doesn't fix any organ damage.
3. It's slower.
4. It doesn't perform multiple concurrent actions. (namely Blood Transfer)
5. Removing a patient early, cause you don't know what's going wrong, hurts them significantly.

The main danger of the autodoc is actually robotic limbs with the Brute/Burn surgical treatment. Since the way to fix a robotic limb is a Welder/Wires/Nanopaste, the autodoc will attempt to "heal" a robolimb infinitely.

Don't be a dummy doctor. Triage and diagnose your patients. Don't rely on Wey-Yu tech and robots.

How do you get fingerprint cards as an MP?

How do you get fingerprint cards as an MP?

Using the forensic hand scanner on a human will create a fingerprint card with their prints. The human ill need to remove their gloves as well so proper prints can be taken. Examining the card won't show their fingerprint hash, but it can be put into the forensic scanning computer to search for partial print matches within the database of scanned objects.

Nope, it's entirely RNG

How many additional buckshots does one shell of buckshot actually have?

Is setting up the FOB on lz2 viable? Or will the xenos just Meta rush the empty Lz and call the Alamo from the unguarded console?

Due to tcomms and Alamo console being near, well, Alamo; LZ2 FOB's only upsides are :

1. It's fresh, unexpected
2. You'll have a safer evac, since the queen can't disable the lock on DS doors.

Yeah it's pretty fresh like you say, I'd just be concerned about the Queen figuring out lz1 is empty and running up there with all the xenos to attack the ship while the marines are still deployed group side.

On another note, do you know if you can issue orders in a specific channel as an SO? Rather than on the common one

I've seen this happen a few times. Mostly on ice and LV624.

On LV. The Xenos has us pinned down at the LZ 2 FOB. Despite the commanders demands to evacuate. A squad and a half stayed behind since we were still holding the line. I think we were too sucessful though since they eventually backed off and unbeknownst to us, were at LZ 1 calling the Alamo. We lost this round cause everyone at the FOB were pretty much all the remaining troops that weren't crippled.

On ice, when marines deployed to the underground in LZ 2. It was bit of a stalemate. Then marines started pushing hard. As we were looking for the rest of the hive. The Alamo got hijacked and everyone had to book it back to the Normandy. When we landed however, we slaughtered the Xenos because so many of us were still alive and healthy.

While the Queen can rush LZ 1 to attack the Almayer. My experience seems to show that unless the Xenos have killed a good portion of the Marines beforehand or the hive has inadequate numbers. It has a large chance to backfire on the Xenos.


To answer your new question. I'm not entirely sure what your asking. But SO has a command radio. So you need to specify which channel you want to speak on unlike how marine headsets works.

:q Alpha
:b Bravo
:c Charlie
:d Delta

Take note that you also need to enable your headset to receive from these channels too. Take off your headset double click it while it's in your hand. Then enable all the squad comms you want to listen in on.

How many additional buckshots does one shell of buckshot actually have?

I'm like 99.75% sure it's three(3) additional buckshots, but if I'm wrong, then it's two(2).

[TrollerNoob]

I don't think you can specify which channel the verb Issue-Orders says the audio line in as an SO. It'll always be General.

What if CMP would give order at roundstart to "Not break the law, it's an order". Would it add charge of disobeying order to charge of normal crimes commited?

[conthegodoffire]

OK kiddos, I need an answer and if I don't get one, someone help me make one... If we can.

Has anyone made a list of damage values on marine weapons and alien castes.

My "WEAPONS GRADE AUTISM" would love to find out what the damage is on a normal drones slash vs an ancient drones slash.
Little things like these on a list somewhere. Though at some point I think I heard that the staff like to keep the damage values top secret. Though I may have just heard that and be full of shit. Point stands though.

If this is at all possible, tell me. I would gladly help test out damages and what not.

If you use a shotgun and ask this question you are doing it wrong

Use a shotgun with buckshot

I do, I JUST WANT TO KNOW STATS MY DUDE.

[Gnorse]

pretty sure the devs are trying to stop players from seeing such stats to prevent (power/meta/???)gaming, so you probably won't get very far.

How often does the SL tracker on squad marines update? Cause I swear.. I was following it and it lead me straight into a Lurker. and my squad was literally in the opposite direction of the tracker. Including the SL.

It's really slow. I estimate it to take like 8-10 seconds to update each time. This gets even worse if you're a xeno and you evolve only to have your tracker disappear for the same amount of time.
