Salvagers are the brains of the expedition team and focus primarily on keeping the team alive and providing technical support. Unlike the prospectors who specialize in combat the salvager specializes in construction, medical skills, and looting. While still capable of combat a salvagers primary focus should always be on support rather than direct confrontation.
Setup
Unlike other members of the expedition team your kit will differ vastly. A salvager fulfills the position of both engineer and medic and should have a keen understanding of both to some degree.
A salvager is expected to know and perform the following:
- How to construct and deconstruct walls, tables, lockers, crates, and airlocks.
- How to hack airlocks with and without power.
- How to diagnose and treat common injuries such as bullet wounds, burns, and toxin damage. This includes knowing the best preventive measures.
- How to perform field surgery to remove shrapnel, mend damaged organs, and fix broken bones.
- How to make use of the minimum amount of supplies for the maximum amount of benefit.
Your Equipment
A salvager should carry a fully equipped tool belt, preferably with augmented tools for speed and precision, a medical belt loaded with their preferred chemicals. In addition to their basic belts they should also carry whatever medkits they believe they'll need and additional pills. A salvager should prioritize his medical and engineering equipment over ammo and weapons, leave the violence for the foreman and his prospectors. Your load out should focus on support, not direct combat.
Weaponry and You
Unlike the rest of the crew, who are not permitted to have rifles/experimental weapons, you are permitted to carry weapons to further your job as necessary, this include legal carry for long arms not a grenade launcher. In general however, you should only carry a weapon if you plan to use it, there is no reason to have a slung shotgun while sitting at the bar or being off duty. Note that this only applies if you're on active duty in the prospector department, being off duty or another secondary job is not a valid reason to carry a rifle.
