Idea for mutations and stability

[Frank_Stein]

I was thinking, there might be a better way to handle mutations and how stability is measured

1. Mutations are now held in specially designated mutation slots.
   
2. Slots spaces are limited. Each mutation occupies slot spaces. Based how powerful a mutation is, it can occupy 1, 2, or 3 spaces
   
3. Chromosome enhancements are slotted with mutations, making them take up 1 additional slot. This also allows multiple chromosomes to be attached to the same mutation
   
4. Stability is now related to slot spaces. Additional slot spaces can be added at the cost of stability
   
5. For each slot spaced gained by lowering stability, a randomized disability is attached to that muation slot
   
6. Heal disabilities by removing extra mutation slots
   
7. Mutadone reduces mutation slots down to 0 while in the system. However, once gone the mutation slots return to their default amount.
   
8. Any mutations that were on cleared slots are lost, unless they had a chromosome protecting them
   
9. Radiation fills your mutation slots with random mutations, though they will only choose disabilities after the default muation slots are filled
   

Additionally, an optional system on how genetic research could work

1. Research machines now beam directed radiation at the subject
   
2. Subject gradually gains mutations
   
3. Machine learns each mutation it discovers and memorizes it.
   
4. Machine then prioritizes searching for unknown mutations when found
   
5. Once muations are discovered and memorized, machine can reproduce them as injectors
   

A few random related ideas that could fit in there but aren't necessary:

1. Blood type being related to how muations are carried and injectors made. Injectors could require being tied to only work on a certain blootype
   
2. Cloning being related to genetic research. Having your DNA sequence be completed by genetics to find muation information also saves your record in a databank. You can be cloned repeatedly from this file.
   
3. Files could be saved to disk. Create a physical disk backup of yourself to give to someone trusted. Load from a disk to edit a file. Add muations and disabilities. Swap and rename a file. Crew might try to bring back the Captain and clone your soul into a lookalike Doppelganger
