Make genetic instability scale according to the mutations

[BaneOfGiygas]

I don't get why people hate genetics. Some Geneticists do their jobs.

In short, because when Geneticists don't do their jobs, it's really frustrating and is typically for no good reason.

A Geneticist that works very hard should be hard to kill, its just like a chemist that works hard and knows how too make secret chems. Make certain genes hard to learn.

The problem that a lot of people have is that the Geneticist's acquisition of those superpowers is, nine times out of ten, at the expense of Mt. Corpse just outside their office. Superpowers create a power trip in a lot of people and is much more simplistic when compared to stuff like research. Therefore, the genetic instability function forces geneticists to realize that there is more to life than become lasershooting, telekinetic Hulks.

right now the easy way to distribute powers is expensive, the hard and cheap way requires getting people to trust you not to kill them. consider this is SS13 think about how often the hard and cheap way is used.

This is an incredibly good point, and the latter option has its lack of viability further compounded by the ubiquitous sense of looming danger that seems to emenate from any non-Geneticists in genetics lab, to say nothing of the people who won't stop pestering the geneticists until they're aforementioned lasershooting telekinetic Hulks. Usually, geneticists are far more content to scramble more monkey genes to try and get more mutations.

Also, curiously enough, I've found that no one even asks genetics for superpowers anymore, and the number of people that play geneticist seems to have sharply declined, so that muddles the issue even further.
