DISCUSSION Is a MedBay worth it compared to a Nursa?

u/Jace_Valarian oldman 17h ago
If the leaks prove true, I’ll be upgrading to the Aquila with its built in med bay and use the side areas for various ATLS chassis and hover bikes. Plenty of times I’ve carried a nursa in a ship only to die and rez in the nursa spinning in space only to have to respawn a second time at home.

u/Krossfire25 17h ago
Idk if this helps but you should backspace once to leave a corpse in your main ship.(maybe a corpse in the nursa if ur really worried).
The corpse will act as a marker preventing the ship from despawn/desyncing from the nurse.
Give it a try if you can, as idk if it fully stops your issue.

u/Wulff_Ehrenhardt 12h ago
The Nursa also has a limited range IIRC

It's a T3 bed, same as the leak/rumor. So they will have the same range of about 1 planet.
T2 is a planet and it's moons, T1 is a solar system.

What does the Aquila give up?

u/Jace_Valarian oldman 15h ago
It gains individual crew rooms and the med bed. I’m guessing you’re going to lose the pool table area or they will push into the torpedo storage area. I hope it won’t lose cargo area too, but it’s possible.

u/opticalshadow 14h ago
Losing cargo might be a deal breaker for that. The pool table area is pointless anyway so that's fine. Individual crew rooms though .. That sounds like an entire interior redesign. Guess we'll find out. Thanks for the reply

u/ComfortableSpell6600 Citizen #28922; Original Backer 13h ago edited 13h ago
I think it's also possible to lose a Gun Turret for a senser turret if they are trying to keep the same differences the Mk IV designs maintained. On the Mk IV's the Gunship and the explorer had equal sized cargo. Difference (other than range/stock components/weapons) was primarily number of missiles and the swapped senser for gun turret. The explorer also came with a stock Ursa in addition to the snub.
I doubt the MK V explorer will lose stock missiles but may lose the reload missile racks.

u/Independent-Window-9 14h ago
It'll just loose some of the hab area and the missile racks im guessing. Theres a big empty space in the cargo bay that looks like it can open up.

u/opticalshadow 14h ago
Like we lose all missiles or just the extra stowage?

Extra stowage probably

u/Sloww-Mobius 11h ago
I'll tell you what, I am sick of doing the run around to put the nursa in my Asgard. Calling the nursa, running to the middle of my giant hangar, driving it to the side to park, calling my ship, driving back to the center, opening the ship cargo bay, going back to the nursa, and parking it. All that for one bunker run is dragging me down. I got the clipper for this reason, but now I have to do the same thing with a hover bike if I want to do hostile bunkers.
What I want is a ship that I can call and it already has what I need all set up inside. If the aquila has a medbed AND a snub when I claim it, I can just claim, and fly away to my bunker mission. Then use the snub to fly closer to the bunker, avoiding turret fire. Zero hangar chores required.
My dream would be a ship like the 400i, with a built in hover bike in the front that comes with the claim, and a medbed included. But that's just a dream.

Yes, she's fast and agile compared to her peers. But otherwise, she's only on par or worse than ships half her price.

u/Ebonson 10h ago
The problem with this is that you can't undock the snub while landed so you'll have to keep the MK5 in the air and that means it'll be chugging down all that H2 while you're in the bunker. Problem 2 is that the snub will still be shot. You will need some good flying and something blocking the turrets to get close. Problem 3 if you do die then you are all the way back to your ship that now does not have a snub and you will need to run all the way back to the bunker.
With a Nursa you can just drive up to the bunker no problem. If you do die there's no run back you are already there.
2
u/Sloww-Mobius 10h ago edited 1h ago
I didn't know you can't use the snub while parked! That sucks so much. I've found I can park close with small snubs like the fury while avoiding the turret fire. But the respawn walk is real, and is annoying, this is very true.

I wouldn't mind if I could count on doing it once and having it persist. But currently my ship will randomly despawn, or randomly explode.

u/Dozy_Lion 17h ago
It depends how expensive that medbed will be and what the ship loses otherwise in exchange. A Nursa always takes up space which can be used for other stuff, personally I would always prefer a build-in medbed over just taking a Nursa, on the other hand you get a ground vehicle with respawn point to avoid enemy AA turrets at bunkers.
6
u/ComfortableSpell6600 Citizen #28922; Original Backer 13h ago
Nursa is an excellent option for dealing with the AA turrets. It also helps you clear out the surface level of enemies. If I am in the mood for some ground action, I would gladly give up some cargo room for a Nursa. You also have plenty of storage space in the cabinets over the med bed for looting at the bunker.

u/One-Procedure-3635 16h ago
since the introduction of medgel I hardly use medbays anymore.
13
u/Ben-Hero aegis 16h ago
Same here tbh, it's just one more layer of tedious friction in a game with a lot of friction already.
Friction can make certain loops more rewarding, but medgel isn't it for me anyway.
6
u/One-Procedure-3635 15h ago
I mean I understand the logic behind it to limit the on site respawns, but a) the medgel solutions is cumbersome and one regen essentially costs you the profit if you buy the gel (is it still so, that medbeds come "loaded" when the ship is reclaimed?)
Would it be so hard to give the beds loads, that can be refueled with the ships.
6
u/Creative-Improvement ARGO CARGO 15h ago
You can find free medgels in a lot lootplaces. And yes, medbeds come pre-stocked.
5
u/MaxMulletWolf 12h ago
If that's the case, wouldn't it be more economically efficient to just toss the nursa out the air lock and reclaim it?
Honest question because I haven't actually played the game in like 4 years.
I get they are trying to limit field respawns, but the whole med gel thing just seems like yet more cumbersome friction in a game already loaded with it. At least let med gel be refilled with a restock/rearm at the pads.
5
u/Creative-Improvement ARGO CARGO 11h ago
Yes, at the moment you hardly come across a limit in medgel capacity. Maybe some big orgs with large ops do find limits, but usually you just reclaim a medical ship or ursa.
But that will probably change over time. In the latest 10 questions, they seem to be hard at work to deliver insurance for anything in the ship, so it would mean you can refill at stations. Not just medgel, also suits, guns and so on, a lot of friction you mention will be gone.
Btw, if you haven’t played in 4 years, it might be fun to come back. 4.x is a lot of different from 3.x, like lightyears apart. There are a lot of fun activities, I can recommend ASD facilities as a cool story line to do.

u/Werewolf-Fresh avacado 17h ago edited 17h ago
I just had this discussion elsewhere in this sub a few days ago in regards to the Mk V and the upcoming Mk V Aquila with the medbed, and it wasn't a popular opinion but I don't care. Medbay > NURSA.
Even if you leave it in the cargo bay you're cutting your cargo capacity by a noticeable amount in the Mk V. And if you do decide to actually drive it out to a bunker or whatever then you're just asking for someone to blow it up for fun. That means no respawn obviously. Not to mention you'll have to go through the tedium of loading it into the ship again if you have to claim.
If the medbed is already part of the ship then you're not cutting down any potential cargo space (assuming the Mk V Aquila has the same capacity as the Centaurus, we don't know yet), no having to faff about with loading it again if you need to claim the ship, and passersby are much less likely to have a go at blowing up a ship like the Mk V than they are to blow up someone's ground vehicle on a whim.
Then if you really want to use a vehicle to get to the objective anyway, the medbed is still safe in the ship.
6
u/remosito VRnutter 17h ago
yeah, what pays for the medbed and individual crew quarters is the big question mark I have about the aquila.... opened up common area and beds of centaurus, removed pool table. and smaller common area and direct access crew quarters from there. plus medbed to one side of the cargo area. perfect. severe cut down on cargo area...might be a skip for me...
3
u/Werewolf-Fresh avacado 16h ago
severe cut down on cargo area...might be a skip for me...
Same here. A small difference would still be okay for me just because of the convenience of the medbed being part of the ship, but the Aquila will likely be a lot more expensive than the Centaurus and I wouldn't feel it's really worth that if there's too much of a cargo difference between them.
So far the Centaurus is a great all-rounder right now (especially with that buffed up hull that will likely get "balanced" later). Been using it exclusively for the transport and defend event tracks so far and I love it. We'll just have to see how it shakes out when the variants come. I want that medbed though.

u/hoshinoyami bmm 16h ago
It also depends what level med bed because the nursa is only a lvl 3. If the ship has a lvl 2 or lvl 1 then the ships will be better.
3
u/WaffleInsanity avacado 17h ago
Like 90% sure you're going to lose cargo space for the Aquila regardless. They're not just going to have the same amount of cargo and a scanner station and a med bed.
6
u/Werewolf-Fresh avacado 16h ago edited 16h ago
Even if that ends up being the case, I still prefer my medbeds being part of the ship itself just to avoid the pain of having to load a vehicle (though if the difference is too significant I might pass on the Aquila altogether).
At first I didn't mind it so much but these days the hangars can be a bit heavy-handed on the culling and nothing gets me boiling more than having a vehicle pop out of existence when I bring up the ship I'm trying to load it into. Used to be that I could put the vehicle inside the hangar FE to make sure it wouldn't disappear but even that's not guaranteed anymore.
And if I have to claim the ship for some reason and do it all over again, 50/50 shot I just don't bother.

u/Irontaoist Meteor | ICA | Centaurus | M80 16h ago
I agree. Once I see how the Aquila differs from the Centaurus, I will react to it accordingly.
If it's favorable, I will upgrade my Centaurus into the Aquila.3
u/ComfortableSpell6600 Citizen #28922; Original Backer 13h ago
MK IV Aquila and Andromeda had the same amount of cargo space. Sensor station involved swapping out a gun turret. Personally, I see them ditching the missile racks for reloads (and the pool table) before ditching cargo space.

u/itsRobbie_ 8h ago
The mk5 has massive rooms for no reason. The whole bottom half of the ship is bomb racks and it has 2 engineering rooms. Like why? If they keep these unneeded massive rooms while nerfing the cargo space just to fit in a med bed, that will be so lame. There’s no reason to mess with that when you have so much fluff on the ship already that could be trimmed instead

u/queetz rsi 17h ago
I have a Tac and I like it. I CCUed my Max for the Mk5. I had AI assistance but this is how I see it.
If the rumoured Mk5 Aquila is like the Mk4 Aquila wherein you give up firepower for the med bed and pay $125 to CCU a Centaurus for it, it may not be worth it.
I could still use the Tac for the ground ops where the medbay is useful but the Centaurus for space combat operations.
Plus there is still that option of putting a Nursa if the Centaurus is not running cargo.
And if you are in space combat, it won't matter if your ship has a medbed or Nursa. If you get defeated in space, that's it.
Medbed or Nursa on a ship is only useful for ground ops, or maybe if someone is flying your snubs.

u/Intelligent_Will_567 16h ago
Tbh you only need one either the TAC or mkv. Both are great for their specific roles. However, if Aquila mkv proves to be a competitor to the TAC then you will you know what do. Right now, I don’t see why you have both ships, nursa can be easily loaded on the mkv with 144scu capacity remaining.

u/queetz rsi 16h ago
I love the AC130ness of the Tac, and love that scene from Transformers. Plus having two snubs in the bay and the minigun near the drop seats...I ain't letting it go.
I love the Max too, but admittedly, loading the side bays with 32 SCU boxes is a pain. Plus I have a RAFT and Hull B, the Max was very redundant.
But the Mk5 is awesome as a gunship, quite pretty and carries MOAR cargo. But I will use it more as a space gunship, especially with friends or AI blades (if that ever comes).
A Mk5 Aquila is hard to justify for exploration since I already have a Carrack and Odyssey. But if it ain't too gimpy and expensive, we'll see.
1
u/Irontaoist Meteor | ICA | Centaurus | M80 16h ago
Nah, way I see it is I use the TAC and a nova for ground ops / bunker runs, and the Centaurus solely for space combat as it is right now.
If the Aquila doesn't give up too much, and has a med bed, I'd upgrade the Centaurus to it and the TAC would become a CCU token for a future ship.1
u/3point1_ 16h ago
I'm with you on that. I have the MAX and the TAC. I don't want to CCU the MAX, then have both the TAC and mk5. Obviously we can't CCU the TAC to the Mk5 because of the price, but I wouldn't want to lose the medbeds anyway. If a variant of the Mk5 with medbeds gets released and it's more expensive than the TAC, then I'd do that.
I have the hull B, so I don't want to keep the MAX. I'm hoping they do release the BLD variant eventually, then I'll CCU the MAX into the BLD.

u/Midreal32 11m ago
I agree… I’ll throw in a Nursa when I’m in the mood to take my Centaurus to do bunkers and if I decide to go haul I’ll push it out or not load it. Too many times I’ve been in space combat to only get blown up and respawn in Nursa spinning out in open space lol. Fun for the first few times then gets a little old unless you have friends to come pick you up 😆 Still nice to have a med bed but Nursa is fine also.
4
u/Intelligent_Will_567 16h ago
Nah same just a little convenience when doing ground missions. If you are doing space combat, and for some reason you get destroyed then it won’t matter if you have a nursa or medbed onboard you respawn at your home location directly.
People inflate the sense of absolutely needing a medbed when you actually don’t except for specific situitation where even a nurse is enough.

u/3point1_ 16h ago
I have a the TAC which has the medbed and also fits a Nursa, but if they bring out a Mk5 variant with a medbed that is over $375, I'm 100% going to CCU.

I agree on doors. One thing I didn’t realize is you can use the engineering terminal to lock them open .. just did this in the mk5 last night.. I opened and locked like 5 doors and kept say the cockpit door and maybe hab doors functional. And it even kept them that way when I logged out and back in the bed the next day. So much better as I can run straight from front to back so much faster. So it takes a little time but worth it to open and lock doors using engineering terminals . 👍

u/Torpedobear_over9000 15h ago
Ship integrated Medbed has some advantages:
You don't have to load the Ursa.
You don't have to reload the Ursa when a Bug, Hangar or Elevator makes your loaded ship go boom.
You can use your full cargo grid and/or don't block internal components.
You can still bring an Ursa when you need more beds.
You can bring a TONK instead.
Depending on the details I'm - just Opinion - almost set for Aquila.
Respawn is mainly important for Fleet Operations (Explode in a Fighter - grab another or climb in a Capitals Turret) or Ground combat (where Lag/Hit registration/respawn might fk u dry).

u/The_Kaizz I Fly Everything But Drake 13h ago
There's pros and cons, naturally. I prefer a medbay over having a nursa in every situation where I don't have to land at a distance to get somewhere, like a bunker with hostile turrets. However, the ships I use can take out said turrets, and land safely, so it's not a big deal. I prefer using the space I'd use for an nursa for other things, like the MTC.

Aside from servers glitching, it's like a 15 minute timer or something crazy long to respawn. With the exception of the timed wave missions, bunkers don't take more than a few minutes to clear.

u/Good_Amphibian_1318 7h ago
Yes yes. That's supposed to be how it should work. My theory is that missions are stacking, so while I'm working mine someone else pulls a mission out of the great bit hat and respawn hell happens. More enemies and more turrets "teleport" in before I can complete the current mission.

u/Midreal32 24m ago
I totally get what you are saying and agree in concept but I tell ya the main reason I load in a Nursa for the respawn is due to server glitches and game killing bugs. Just the other day I took a pulse into a bunker, dismounted and promptly fell through the planet.. backspaced and I was back in the Nursa and was able to continue the mission… same night I was doing a haul and got in to my ATLS and it killed me… yep spawned in Nursa and got to continue… next night I was hauling again and decided to jump down onto the top of my cargo boxes and went right through inside one of them and finally had to backspace after trying for 10 min to get out… the list goes on and on. So I bet I have spawned in Nursa about 70% of the time due to the game eating me than NPCs getting the drop on me! And I’m not joking lol.

Depends, so far I haven’t found many instances where I need both a medbay/nursa and cargo space; so nursa has been fine for me. But it’s definitely something to bear in mind.

I use it with my Connie mkV with a pulse bike and my atlas akuma mech and a 2scu crate if I die I just go back to my ship only take the ursa if you need a shield when traveling on ground if not I just take the Pulse.

My nursa keeps falling through the hangar door on my MkV. I've had to park it until I get some fixes on it. Myself and vehicles fall through elevators, snub keeps exploding randomly. Last thing was I was parked about to turn in a hauling contract and I fell through the elevator, then my ship flipped upside down.

The T3 bed in the Aquila is the same as what is in the Nursa, but… you end up with more free space in the Aquila for cargo.

What I do is I keep my Nursa parked on the sides of my persistent hangar at all times same for my ATLS’s and hover bikes …So in the event I want to bring one of those small vehicles along, they’re already ready, saving me a little time since I don’t have to call them up….when the mission is over, and I return to my persistent hangar, the small vehicle I brought along serves as my shuttle from the ship to the ASOP terminal to put away the ship, And I then park the small vehicle on the side again for next time….not that this method is significantly more convenient than just calling up up nursa/small vehicle every time, but it’s a little better as I only have to call up the main ship… and the small vehicles are like decor in my persistent hangar when not in use…..*disclaimer my persistent hangar is a XL one so YMMV for the other size hangars

A dedicated med bay will always have advantages over a vehicle. Be it medgel capacity, range, and amount of beds. All of which will be more relevant as the game progresses. Also having a dedicated medbay allows you to keep vehicle and cargo space open for other needs.

I dont know why it doesnt just let us grab a vehicle on the UI from the side of a view of our ship (of course these would be flagged for certain ships for fitting) and you just drag it into the ship you are using and it spawn with it on the grid. This entire loading and unloading in the start is such a time waste and only fun the first few times you do it.

Yeah a built in med bed is generally better than taking up cargo space or your vehicle bay with an Ursa. A primary feature is almost always superior to a workaround.

You can move the Ursa with the Maxlift tractor beam. Its bigger than the multitool one. With holding r you can rotate something while tractoring.
You can buy it at orbit station cargo decks.

Tractor beam - Best method to maximize SCU space (Or carry 2 Nursas)
Sure it may add having to get out and tractor beam place the ship on the lift, but it does open up other possibilities for transportation of cargo or other vehicles.

Remember when medical game play was going to be its own deep rich profession?
That’s when they were selling a $1,000 hospital ship.
They will, at some point, nerf the NURSA temporarily - not because that’s what they promised - because it will sell some ships with bigger beds.
But they want the game to be accessible, so they’ll un nerf it.
So: NURSA is fine for now, and when it stops being fine don’t panic. Just take a break for a while until it’s fine again.

After you've manually parked that Nursa to your ship 1000 times... yes, it's pretty much worth it.
