Medivac Magic

[screw_ball69]

Clearly the medivac was engineered by the long decedent of the medic from Team Fortress 2.

As for transporting the Thor I rather like the fact that it goes into cargo mode, actually makes sense and looks fairly reasonable when being caried.

[Visions of Khas]

Medics used a variety of tools to heal wounded, including but not limited to laser-scalpels, various chemical cocktails, and nanite-conveyed treatment. Of course none of these things could happen nearly as quickly as they do in gameplay.

My bet is that medivacs come equipped with a medical crew supplemented by advanced intensive care technology, using some of the stuff above, plus other treatments that couldn't by carried into the battlefield by medics due to power demands, supply or delicate machinery. Moreover, using a crew of several would make treatment more thorough -- one specializes in physical injuries, another biological warfare, yet another a mechanic or technician...

Because if it was, we would get crazy stuff like this.

That. Was. Hilarious.
lol kilometer tall marines xP

lol wow, I can't believe there are people who actually take in game statistics to argue and debate instead of using the books and such.

Are they idiots?

Actually they were just trying to prove that you CANNOT use only in-game statistics for canon debates, it was a loong way to prove the point but it did, and made me laugh for a while xP

No I know what the TC was trying to do lol, and indeed it was funny. I was referring to those people debating against SC and saying that gameplay was the best indication of canon status.

Curiously enough it ended with everyone arguing about if it was valid or not and giving explanations of how the kilometer tall marines were plausible, yea I know what you mean...

[Norfindel]

meh! Everyone knows that lasers in sci-fi series and movies don't make any sense. I think the best i seen is from Terminator, that is a pulsating beam of light.

I remember the old "V" series. The lasers were so slow, that you wondered why people didn't dodge them

Medivac beam is clearly an adapted moduel of a short range protoss warp in system. The medivac is packed with surplus of organs and body parts ready to be warped into a marine or w/e that is need of a replacement part

Still prefer the nanomachines explanation, but meh given how much sense all of that makes this is still possible
I'm still waiting for some kind of explanation as to why they can't heal the units they're carrying, (apart from: the magic light is outside not inside) from a lore point of view
