NOTE: THE FACTS WITHIN THIS ARTICLE ARE MOSTLY CORRECT, BUT THIS REPRESENTS A META THAT IS NO LONGER A THING. WAR OPS USED TO BE WAY MORE COMMON, AND SOME TACTICS THAT ARE RARELY SEEN NOW LIKE FUNGAL TB HAPPENED EVERY WAROP ROUND

ARE YOU FUCKING PISSED ABOUT THE TIMES WHEN MEDBAY IS CARPETED WITH FUNGAL TB VICTIMS AND THE CMO SITS IN HER PRETTY BIOSUIT TWIDDLING HER THUMBS?
ARE YOU FUCKING PISSED AT SCIENCE FOR RESEARCHING ADVANCED MINING BECAUSE SOME SPOILED BRAT MINER WANTS IT?
WELL, YOU CAN BEAT PEOPLE ON THEIR HEAD (NOT THAT IT'LL DO MUCH WITH ALL THAT WATER INSIDE) WITH THIS FUCKING GUIDE THEN.

MEDICAL

CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER

SET ALL OF MEDICAL TO EMERGENCY ACCESS
SET UP A DEFIB MOUNT IN MEDBAY LOBBY
I DUNNO GO DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE (USUALLY TB CURE)
SPEND YOUR DEPARTMENT BUDGET AND MAKE FREE ORDERS

MEDICAL DOCTOR/VIROLOGIST/CHEMIST

YOU FUCKING MAKE TB CURE SHIT. ITS FUCKING EASY.

STEP 1 GO INTO MEDBAY AND BUY SPACEACILLIN. IT'S RIGHT THERE
STEP 2 CRACK OPEN A COLD BLUE MEDKIT WITH THE BOYS AND GRAB THE COVERMOL
STEP 3 DUMP THE FLUID INTO A BEAKER
STEP 4 FORCE THAT DOWN THEIR THROATS
STEP 10 (OPTIONAL): WHEN YOU FINALLY CURE SOMEONE, TAKE THEIR BLOOD, AND TAKE IT TO VIROLOGY. MAKE IT INTO A CURE. WOW, LOOK AT THAT, INFINITE CURES!

VIROLOGIST

OH DAWWW YOU MADE A HEALING VIRUS
OH FUCK FUNGAL TB JUST OVERPOWERED IT AND KICKED ITS ASS
MORAL OF THE STORY: YOUR PANSY ASS HEALING VIRUSES DON'T AND CAN'T DO SHIT AGAINST FUNGAL TB
DON'T FUCKING MAKE HEALING VIRUSES
ACTUALLY FUNGAL TB IS RARER THAN WHITE DOG TURDS NOWADAYS
JUST DON'T FUCKING MAKE REGEN COMA, IT WILL PROBABLY FUCK OVER THE DISK HOLDER
DON'T TRY TO INFECT THE OPS WITH "SPACE AIDS", THEY HAVE MODSUITS YOU BRAIN DAMAGED PRIMATE

TIPS

THERE ARE TWO NANOMED PLUSES IN MEDICAL, ROUNDSTART. EACH NANOMED HAS 2 SYRINGES OF SPACEALLIN, MAKING FOR 4 IN TOTAL
THE VIROLOGY FRIDGE STARTS WITH 4 SYRINGES OF SPACEALLIN
THIS MEANS THAT WITHOUT CHEMISTRY, YOU HAVE 120u OF SPACEALLIN
JESUS FUCKING BATMAN
YOU CAN THROW PEOPLE INTO ~~SLEEPERS~~ (NOPE, NO FUN ALLOWED)
VACCINE BOTTLES WORK TOO, BUT MAKING VACCINE BOTTLES REQUIRES YOU TO CURE SOMEONE AND THEN TAKE THEIR BLOOD, AND YOU CAN'T PREPARE A VACCINE BEFORE EVERYONE GETS FUCKING INFECTED
GRAB THE LETHAL INJECTION SYRINGE LOCKER FROM THE "PRISONER REEDUCATION FACILITY" IN PERMABRIG AND LOAD THEM INTO YOUR SYRINGE GUN
HAS A SUPER NICHE USE, SINCE MODSUITS PROTECT AGAINST SYRINGES, BUT IF YOU GET ONE WITHOUT A MODSUIT, A SINGLE HIT BY A LETHAL INJECTION SYRINGE PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEES THEIR DEATH

GENETICIST

HULK IS FUCKING USELESS BECAUSE THE OPS HAVE BALLISTIC WEAPONRY AND DON'T USE STUNS
ALSO, HULKS CAN'T USE GUNS, WHICH HANDICAPS YOUR ASS PRETTY HARD
NO SERIOUSLY, HULK IS SHIT AGAINST OPS
TWO COMPETENT GENETICISTS CAN GET ALL 6 POWERS WITHIN 20 MINUTES, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE PERMANENTLY DOSED WITH MUTADONE
COLD RESISTANCE IS GOOD FOR SPACEWALKING WITHOUT A MODSUIT
TELEKINESIS IS GOOD FOR MURDERING OPS WITH POTTED PLANTS
CHAMELEON IS GOOD SO YOU CAN NOT DIE TO THE MURDERBONE
DWARF IS, UH, GOOD FOR KITING OPS IN THE BAR
HULK IS VOMITED UP DOG DIARRHEA LEVELS OF SHIT

SCIENCE

RESEARCH DIRECTOR

SET ALL OF SCIENCE TO EMERGENCY ACCESS
GO CHANGE THE AI'S LAWS IF THE CAPTAIN HASN'T DONE SO ALREADY
DRAG THE AI'S ASS OUT OF ITS SATELLITE AND INTO SOME SECLUDED PLACE IN MAINT

BITCH AT THE MINERS FOR WANTING BETTER FUCKING GEAR

SCIENTIST

DON'T RESEARCH ADVANCED MINING YOU BRAINLET
I SAID DON'T
BAD DOGGIE

WHAT YOU RESEARCH

STEP 1: INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
STEP 2: WEAPON DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY
STEP 3: BALLISTIC WEAPONRY
STEP 4: WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU NEED TO RESEARCH TO GET ELECTRIC WEAPONS
STEP 5: ELECTRIC WEAPONRY
STEP 6: WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU NEED TO RESEARCH TO GET MEDICAL WEAPONS
STEP 7: MEDICAL WEAPONRY
STEP 8: ROLL TIDE (EXCEPT FOR MINING TECH BECAUSE FUCK EM)

ALSO IT MEANS THAT SECURITY CAN PRINT OUT ION CARBINES FOR THE SYNDIE BORGS WHICH ARE EVERYWHERE THESE DAYS
MEDICAL WEAPONRY MEANS THAT YOU CAN PRINT OUT PIERCING SYRINGES, WHICH PENETRATE THROUGH NUKE OP MODSUITS, AND 15U OF LEXORIN DOWNS AN OP FOR LIKE A FULL MINUTE

WHAT THE FUCK ELSE

XENOBIO IS FUCKING USELESS BECAUSE IT CAN'T DO JACK IN 20 MINUTES
ORDNANCE GOES BOOM BOOM. BLOW UP SHIP AND HAVE NEURON ACTIVATION

WAIT FOR THE SUPERMATTER TO BE INEVITABLY BLOWN UP
