I figure here we can start getting organized for a medical division for TEST. T.S.A.R. (Test Search and rescue) has been set long ago and it fits so we roll with it. I have a Carrack that can be used and within a few weeks i will have a C8x and Cutlass red.

Right now some theory crafting.
1 - I think we should train in 2 to 3 man teams
2 - if more than one team responds to a call, then one team is medical and any or all other teams deploy for support to keep the medical team and patient safe.
3 - communication and training is key to successfully pull this off and learn to coordinate in a timely professional (drunken test) manor.
We will need a roster of people interested in training and operating as T.S.A.R.

How do we pronounce T.S.A.R, is it "t'sar" as you'd say it written, "zarr" like the word for a Russian emporor, is it unpronounceable or is it a mysterious mystery...?
I just have to say this. Vodka can clean wounds and sedate patients in a pinch - as well as being uh, entertaining.
I have a Carrack and C8R as well. What I lack is a lot of time.
i am working on a system where teams can be created quickly for a timely response without affecting an individuals quest / exploration time. this will take a bit of time to fine toon and tweak out though. think of it like a volunteer fire dept.
Hmmm, I can imagine the the Switchboard now...
"Hello, you're through to the TEST department of TEST, not to be confused with the TEST department which is an entirely different department in TEST. If you are a member of TEST and would like TEST assistance please press one. If you are not a member of TEST and want TEST to come to your assistance please press two. If you don't want TEST assistance, whether you are or are not a member of TEST, why are you calling us?"
Hah! Gotta love it!!
I'm somehow really glad we don't have a Test Test Information Test in Test Squadron for Test use only .
Also "Test. 1,2,3 Test" Often heard in Discord where the only correct answer is something along the line of "What? Can you talk louder, I can't hear you."
Anyone interested in T.S.A.R. send me a message in discord. I am working on a roster and going to set training soon.

I'll hop in on this, will DM you in Discord shortly, but for now something to share in this thread: I've been playing a good bit on the 3.18 PTU recently, and some of the changes this patch have a pretty significant influence on rescues. Currently, both incapacitations AND soft ship deaths are frequent, and full explosion/death less frequent. This translates to more players putting up either a medical beacon OR transport beacon; it's easy to survive a soft ship death but then you're stranded. All this to say, it's nice to also have some storage in order to help retrieve a downed pilots belongings as well as just the player when responding to a rescue; bring those tractor beams as well as medical guns!
That's really good advice @Dirtbag_Leader. Those things come in handy in more than one situation too, and the usefulness is becoming more and more prevalent.
