Some Medic Improvements

[[TC] Howlin]

Hey Guys,

Got a few suggestions tonight about the medic system and the way in which SOS calls are handled.

In-game chat channel
Firstly, i was thinking about this and thought it a good idea to bring it up here.
Since the cops have a channel in-game so they can organize roadblocks among other things I thought why not have the same for MED/TOW and RES? It seems like a pretty good idea as it would give the people on scene somewhere to coordinate without using the main chat so much.


SOS Response
This is a matter that has no doubt been addressed before but now there is a new system it makes even more sense to consider this again. In my opinion, civilians should not be able to help somebody on a scene unless there are no TOW/MED/RES online or none are responding.
I understand why this has been possibly overlooked before as it could cause the scene to become a lot more dangerous however, without a caution and the other features a proper TOW/MED/RES response brings it would be quite dangerous anyway.

Reasons why i think this should be put in place:

1) It ruins the role play aspect of being a MED/TOW/RES, if you can simply be called to a scene and arrive to find that it has all been sorted out and the caller has now been helped by another user it makes me wonder why i actually bother to put on a tag to do the work. (Along with the fact that this seems to happen 8/10 times for me)

2) The MED/RES/TOW has no real jurisdiction on the scene (There is no system such as the COP system where the first COP to begin a chase, is the cop who can call backup etc)

3) With the new system making people complete tests to be able to TOW/MED/RES on the servers, it seems pointless to me that without a tag they should be allowed to do so when other people who may have completed the test are spending time trying to do that job yet getting beaten to it by other people.

This kind of system would be more like the way the copping system is, with a structure of rules in which civilian's are not able to assist etc. This will be a very opinionated subject and this is simply my opinion on the subject, I have held this opinion for quite a while but with the introduction of the new tests it seemed like a good time to bring this up
