Sickbay suggestion

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
While testing the Doff system I eventually wound up with an officer in Sickbay. I thought why not visit my ship interior and see if there's anybody in Sickbay to handle my clumsy doff but no such luck. I know it would be non-gameplay-affecting and I would never want to see developer time spent on aesthetic features while game-breaking bugs still linger but as a suggestion for the developer backlog: When a duty officer gets injured and winds up in sickbay from a doff system perspective it would be nice to see a counterpart avatar in a sickbay bed for the same duration as that doff is in sickbay.

I'm sure the coding wouldn't be exactly trivial but you could easily scrape the gender, name, race and facial configuration from the existing data and mapping that on a generic body doesn't seem like it would be much more difficult than generating random bodies to walk around the ship (though I'm not a developer and can't speak to the actual level of effort). Since we have to load up our interiors there's time to specifically process it rather than have every player carry around arbitrary code with their character data, so character who never go into their ship interiors would not require processing power/data storage nor would they get the visual effect / flavor of integrating the sickbay tab and visual representation inside the ship. Again, it would only be flavor but I would find it a nice touch that could show not all coding is going toward C-Store items.
