![]() Damocles is already a tough adventure, no sense adding frostbite and amputated fingers/toes to it. Really though, would you send a team into a winter environment without the proper survival kit ? |

Updating has always seemed like a tricky business - not only is there the risk of exposure, but you are giving teams equipment they haven't been trained to use, potentially in a crucial and time-sensitive environment.
I think the best option would be to leave teams alone, then give updated gear to newer teams in the area - they have their own caches, plus the updated gear to disseminate to other teams (with training!) as prudent. If you are going to give them updated gear blind, it needs to be gear they can use without training. No point giving someone frozen in the 70's a tablet computer without someone to train them on it, but you could definitely give them a plug-and-play backend to the autonav. |

Of course an alternative result maybe that teams get equipment removed from caches.
The project may decide it needs to concentrate certain key systems with other teams, or replace but not update. I mean for example how many Dragon, TOW and Stingers were even made in the 1980s? So perhaps the project takes an executive decision to create a special MARS regional armoury with a dozen of each. Which come from what the teams thought would be their equipment? |
