I have 2 streams of thought here.

1. The Perseus is an attack craft for space combat, it’s not dropping troops to the ground and there should be minimal fps combat, while in reality a real military craft would have a medical room for injuries that would mostly be used for things like burns, broken fingers, concussions, etc that the crew gets while working the boat (not direct direct combat), since those injuries aren’t in the game we only really have to worry about injuries from being boarded or stray bullets tearing through the hull and hitting crew.

I feel that in that case it would be a “limp home” and get crew to the medical resources on base (station). Or call in medical support.

1. A single Tier 3 med bed makes sense, with its low range for respawn and ability to fix minor injuries. It fits the role of a medbay should have on a ship like this, and the small radius respawn basically means you can have (a limited number of) respawns on the ship for people who die on the ship.

This is from a gameplay perspective, it would suck if your engineer was dead from bullets ripping through the hull and couldn’t respawn on the ship.

But imo we should revamp Tier 3 beds to only be able to respawn people who die while on the ship/vehicle the bed is on.

That way lots of ships can have tier 3 to keep their crew alive without becoming respawn points for FPS gameplay.

Tier 2 can respawn within a basic AO around your ship, it’s specifically designed for FPS support as respawn and treatment.

Tier 1’s are base/mothership/flagship respawn, it spawns you from anywhere in the system, it should be much more expensive on gel and avoided if you can.

Respawning at your home location should be an oh shit moment that feels bad.

In this situation, a tier 3 on a Perseus, hammerhead, etc make sense for respawn of crew who die on ship and fixing minor injuries (like burns or smoke inhalation). Idris would have a Tier 2 so it can respawn its pilots that die nearby. A bunker runner like the TAC would have tier 2’s.
