Does the engi medibot dispersal heal your boarders when they are off ship?

[The Coal Man]

The description just says it heals the crew outside of med-bay, so I was wondering. Also does boosting the medbay heal rate boost the outside of medbay heal rate?

[Dormammu]

I don't think it does.

[Parrondo42]

Nope I'm afraid not

[The Coal Man]

Does boosting the medbay heal rate also boost the ship heal rate?

Probably.

well both of these questions being no really drops down the usefulness.

No, it's still pretty useful. If you have borders, it's pretty useful.

i generally get the tp heal and strong doors for that anyway. Just tp my mantis back for easy xp.

No, No, and No. I'd love it if it did... It was a decent augment pre-AE, but has lost a lot of luster since...

What it's good for:

Boarders: An Engi or Zoltan with medbots healing him/her will be fighting on even ground against a Human or Slug who would normally beat them easily. Human crew will hold their own against Mantis boarders. Rocks are practically invulnerable and Mantis are semi-tanky as well as being the ultimate killing machines. This only works on your ship, but as a counter to enemy boarding tactics, it's a very powerful tool to have.

Breaches: No more "need the O2 upgrades" - chuck anyone but that Mantis or maybe a Zoltan (haven't tested with a Zoltan yet) in the breached room and their health won't deplete fast enough to kill them before the repairs are done. And you only need to move to the next room, no matter how far the medbay is, to start healing again.

Fire: Need to abandon that corner of the ship to put the fires out? Not any more. It barely hurts your crew while they're being healed by the medbots.

Sure, it doesn't make you stronger against boarders, and it's a fixed bonus with the medbay powered, not one which scales to your medbay level. But it's already extremely powerful without those advantages.

[The Coal Man]

Im not calling it bad im just saying it not scaling/working for your boarders is a pretty big chunck off how good i thought it was.

It's not worth going to the Engi Homeworlds just for this augment, unless you were going there otherwise or the alternative is a really crappy sector like an Abandoned Sector. Having Engi crew still makes it worthwhile to go through one of these sectors for this in combination with other blue events, though.

It's a reasonably decent buff if you have weak crew.

That said, if I don't have weak crew, and I generally eventually have tough crew, I sell it for scrap. I also wouldn't buy it if they sold it in shops.

[Ray Robertson]

If Engi medi-bot did heal off-ship crew then everybody with a teleporter(e: or planning on getting one) would probably be actively seeking out their homeworlds.

its not working on your boarding crew, tryed this a while ago
seen from a logic perspectiv:
the med bots need to get to the other ship, to heal, and thats not a feature of the augmentation
