Genetics Ideas/Discussion/Grumpin'

[Marquesas]

I think 20k is a reasonable amount to start with to get some research off the ground. Anyways, while I don't want to nuke genetics I do think that the sequence checker may recharge a bit to quickly as it is.

Yes, 20k should be the optimal starting fund for genetics as we usually ask for 40k at the start of the round which is either denied and genetics grinds to a painful halt, or granted and we don't need to ask for more credits again; 20k is entirely workable as long as you don't blindly spend it all on mutation research,.

The sequence checker's 20 seconds recharge rate is fine. I mean unless we're talking about a very, very rare power (which you're unlikely to stumble upon in any sane time, so it really doesn't matter), there will be another sample in your already scanned samples - and it's very likely to be this way since you can just store the DNA of the entire station.

Let me be clear on this, any nerf ideas focused at the research part of the new genetics is dumb. It doesn't need any fiddling with.
