**Ship Name Suggestion:** MISC Starlancer Medivac (or Starlancer M.E.D.)

**Concept Summary:**A medical variant of the Starlancer MAX, offering a perfect mid-tier hospital platform for deep-space rescue and recovery missions. Positioned between the Cutlass Red and Endeavor Hope, the Starlancer Medivac would combine MISC's sleek design and sturdy frame with the functionality of a mobile medical hub.

**Why This Makes Sense:**

- The Starlancer MAX is already spacious, modular, and capable of handling both cargo and vehicles.
- Medivac variants are commonly derived from cargo ships (e.g., Cutlass Red from Cutlass Black).
- CIG’s future gameplay loop includes rescue, triage, recovery, and hospital care — this ship fills a current gap.

**Interior Rework Proposal (Lower Deck)**

**1. Rear Cargo Bay (Ramp Entry Area)**

- **Half A (rear, near ramp):** Fits 1 Ursa Med Rover or similar ground evac vehicle.
- **Half B (forward):** 4 Tier 2 medical beds along the walls for player respawn and treatment.
- Support features: Med storage, portable scanner or triage console.
**2. Central Cargo Elevator Bay**

- Install 1 Tier 1 medbed (same used in hospitals/Endeavor).
- Side room additions:
Surgical tools station
Compact diagnostic lab
Launch bay for future medical drones
**3. Armory Zone (current layout)**

- Convert to medical staff quarters: 2–4 bunks with lockers
- Compact hygiene unit (shower/sink)
- Secure storage for med supplies or tools

**Gameplay Role & Features:**

- Tier 1 + Tier 2 medbeds: Revive and treat serious injuries
- Ground support via rover ramp (optional swap for additional beds/cargo)
- Comfortable living space for long-haul medical teams
- Solo-capable, but optimal for 2–4 crew
- Distinct from the Apollo (compact) and Endeavor (massive)
**Design Philosophy:**

- Keep the top deck mostly unchanged (bridge, crew lounge, cockpit).
- Maintain MISC's elegant style — clean white interiors, curved walls, light panels.
- Appeal to solo players who want function **and** fashion in a medical platform.

**Lore Justification:**"With rising frontier casualties and increased piracy threats, MISC partnered with independent medical firms to deploy the Starlancer Medivac: a mid-size, deep-space rescue vessel built for rapid intervention and sustained medical operations in high-risk areas."

**Final Thoughts:**This would not only expand the Starlancer line but also give the medical profession a proper mid-tier vessel that's stylish, capable, and scalable. Let us choose between saving lives in a beat-up ambulance... or a flying MISC masterpiece.
