Medical Bays

Medical bays are pretty important modules as they function as a mobile spawn point and provide fast, on-demand healing that outpaces the regeneration rate of even the most advanced EVA and armoured suits.

They are for the vast majority of cases only of benefit to the player as AI crew members are totally unaware of the existence of Medical bays though AI crew behaviour is likely to change as development continues. A player or crew character has to be standing inside the Medbay room to receive healing.

If at least one is installed on your ship, and providing that there is at least one crewmember remaining on your ship, you can choose to repsawn at the medbay when you die.
