not to be that guy but bacta tanks should absolutely be shaped like the pods in the matrix not state fair dunk tanks
it’s much easier to get a person inside—it would be the same as putting them on a bed
you don’t want to just drop them in they’re seriously injured
there’s faster access in case of emergencies bc you can just open the lid; otherwise you have to gear up and jump in or pull them out before you can help
a horizontal pod would use less bacta which is a limited resource
you can push the lid off yourself instead of needing help to leave your fish tank for people (useful if you wake up and freak out)
am i the only one concerned by the inefficiency of this vital medical technology
