Aut'akh Medical Graspers Changes:

[Soultheif96]

If you are familiar with the Aut'akh, you would know about the graspers that comes with them. They come in many forms, from security to medical to engineering to mining, each one are useful in their own way. This is what each one can do.

Security: Stunbaton built into the hand, acts like one, has about unlimited charge at expense of your energy, only active if you grab the person.

Medical: Health Analyzer built into the hand, unlimited use but you need to grab the person to analyze them.

Engineering: In my opinion, the best grasper bar to none, as it comes with an interchangeable toolkit in your hand, it is great as it stands. Practically a meme for when you are arrested and thrown into the slammer.

Mining: A rich man's pickaxe, just a tick away from a diamond pickaxe. It comes with a mining drill and that is it. It can mine the ground and the rock. If it acts like a drill, then it can shred regular walls like no tomorrow.

Now, you are wondering what I am going to suggest as a filthy medical main, out of all these graspers, am I the most concerned with the current state of the medical grasper? Yes, yes I am. It is almost useless when your PDA can act like a poor man's health analyzer as a doctor, even more so when you can grab one from the NanoMed Vendor. Here are the options I propose for the changes to the medical grasper:

1. It would have a built in hypospray and come with all the abilities of one. A reusable syringe if you will.

2. It would come in with a pre-loaded, interchangeable injector akin to what cyborgs have, carrying the following medicine: Paracetamol, Norepinephrine, Dylovene, and Tricordrazine. It will synthesize up to like 30u of each, after that, you will need to refill it on your own volition and will reject any other medicine that is not the suggested four.

3. Remain as is, but buffed to not require a grab and can change into the following: Health Analyzer, Breath Analyzer, a Penlight, and a Stethoscope. It will change out like the engineering grasper.

With that being said, I would encourage discussion on which of these three would better suit the medical grasper as it stands, and remember, ONLY medical Aut'akh can have it, but a new one can be obtained through robotics or a purchase from cargo for a whopping 3000 credits, and Aut'akh parts are not easy to replace. I personally believe that option one or three would benefit them greatly and step them up to the same level as an engineering grasper or mining.

I like this suggested change to the medical grasper. It is currently the weakest of the bunch in that its purpose is superfluous.

#2 or #3 would be fine. #1 can go far, far away and never be considered again - it'd make medical Aut'akh one of the most powerful sub-races in combat against pretty much anything but IPCs.
