With the coastal missions patients that are not treated and transported by coastal helicopter will be taken by a boat back to their dock / rescue station at this time you get a follow up mission (patient transport) you send ambulances to that mission and they treat and then you transport to hospital

Alternatively if the mission has 5 patients and only requires 1 coastal helicopter you could send 5 directly to the mission to treat and transport the patients

Prisoners will always be brought back on a boat to their dock / rescue station they then are dealt with in a transfer mission by sending police cars that can transport prisoners to a cell

As far as transporting patients, it seems to depend on the mission. Had one where they went to the base for further transport, and another that went directly to the hospital.

I did bring this up with the devs and they have advised that they are reviewing the specialisation costs. They have not provided any further as of yet.

Thanks for the reply

Have the devs shared any thoughts yet about the specialization costs?

I ran into this problem trying to move aircrew. It's a known issue but I think it's low on the priority to change it.

Could you please provide me with a screenshot, so I can forward it to the devs?
Also, if you could provide me your MCID, so they can look into it as well.

Don't know what a MCID is. As far as a screen shot, I will the next time I have a coast guard helo carry a patient. Looking at the transaction screen I can't tell which is which,

Just had another mission with the helo transporting, when you look at transactions it is just calling it treat and transport, not showing (helo). That implies it is treating this as an ambo ride and not a helo transport.

Helo payout for an event is about 1700

Just had a mission where the Helo transported a patient and the payout was 575 instead of the higher payout for helo transport (862). Is this as intended?

On US only 30 beds max, UK is only game with 40

I guess the Devs don't know about the hospital complex known as Baptist Medical here in Jacksonville Fl.

I think the potential for casualties should be added to roof fires. This would represent potential firefighters getting hurt, or civilians in the structure.

No worries, appreciate you handling it.

Specialised stations are not a new "type" of station in the way you're thinking. They're building off of the expansions we already have.

To add a forestry station when there is already a forestry expansion for fire stations makes absolutely no sense, for both game mechanics, back end, and for users.

When you activate the forestry specialization, it changes what calls the station generates, that is the biggest reason.

If you have enough engines to cover the water requirement, then sending the foam tender will help cover the tanker requirement. To me, it can be a win if you don't have enough tankers close by

I like the idea.

I don't mind the specialization as long as the exponential price increase can be stopped. If they had to be stand-alone stations I would have to move my existing ones.

Thanks EMS-Chief

They have already been built, just adding the specialization.

EMS-Chief The stations have all been built, and they all had the forest extension done. This add-on is supposed to put the specialization on which I assume was going to be treated like an extension. That is what generated the question, why does the cost go up versus treating it like an extension and the price is constant? I previously built 17 forestry stations and I wanted to specialize them just for wildfires. If this is working as designed, the price is extremely prohibitive.

Now that I have started specializing the forestry stations, why would the price go up by station? On my 5th one and it is over 200k to specialize it.
