Topic: Bacta Vials

We all know - Unless there is a medic, squad leader or medical droid around, even the smallest wound could be devastating in the long run.  So my solution is this:

Bacta Vials

-Every soldier has one
-Can replenish 25-50 health
-Does not automatically refill like Bacta Canister
-Does not heal others like canister
-Can be refilled at supply box

What soldier is sent into battle without at least band-aids?  A dead soldier.

Re: Bacta Vials

Yes, without a medic you're pretty much dead in the long run. So... bring a medic.

Problem solved.

The only way I'd see bacta being given to every soldier would be if a bleeding system like that in PR was implemented. Otherwise, it's simply not necessary.

Oh, and to be honest, I don't really see why the bacta canisters have infinite supply in the first place.

Re: Bacta Vials

Think thats the main reason for the medical droids. To equip every soldier with Bacta only negates the need for a Medic class. Also if you feel the need for a constant suppy of Bacta, go Medic yourself. Most people don't because they don't like the associated weapons with the Medic class.

Re: Bacta Vials

People would be too hard to kill if they all had bacta. And it would encourage lone wolfing.

The medic would not be affected all that much by everyone carrying bacta vials.  When the soldier's "emergency kit" runs out, the person still needs to seek a medic, droid, etc.  Plus, the medic does have the droid and defib, so giving everyone small bacta vials would not be the death sentence for medics.

Often, you're the only person on the team anyways *Shakes fist at player-base*.  And people are going to go lone wolf anyways, bacta or not.

If it is say, Mos Espa (which has no medical droids), and you are a rebel (the only rebel on) going up against an AT-ST, you are not going to be spawning as a medic.  And when the skirmish is over and the AT is decorating the ground, the enemy respawns and takes you out easily because you have almost no health from earlier.

How hard is it to go up to a medic before the battle and ask for a bit of bacta for yourself?
