This idea was from someone on Discord who doesn't have a forum account and said they didn't care if I posted it for em.
Camouflager chromosomes are useless without a speed injector. The idea is, remove em entirely. Means you have a better chance of getting the more fun chromosomes as a non-antag, which seems fun to me.
Instead, make that part of functionality of the speed injector. Instead of a ten second delay, just never display the bluetext mutation effect message. Increase the cost of speed injector to 5, comparable to sleepypen.
Why? Well, it basically IS a sleepypen. You don't know you've been penned until the chems actually effect you. Speed injector would be same at this point. They have essentially the same limitations- you need to invest the time to make the thing you wanna put into people, and also carry a supply of the stuff you wanna use. Why not establish some parity, and smooth things out for friendly geneticists at the same time?
