Genetics: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[TheOnlyRyan]

I wasn't around for the days of OLD old genetics, so I can't speak to that or how it was in the slightest.

Do you mean OLD old genetics? It was literally RNG. You had to get numbers to a certain range to activate a power, which was always random, by giving them radiation that caused damage. The number you got from each rad dose was also random. By god it was horrible and took forever.

The new system is much much better in every single way and you'd realize this if you played with old genetics.

The old old system which is still used on the majority of other stations was difficult for a reaosn, it meant you had to actually learn the job.. You have to learn Robotics, especially with the new research, you definitely have to learn Chemistry, plus the secrets, Science, more learning, getting better.

I don't like the fact almost everything the current Genetics is, is luck based (Finding decent abilities)
Time waiting for research (False difficulty)
and a simple code breaking minigame, GC here... TA here... AT here.

There's absolutely no learning curve in my opinion, just frustration and waiting.

The Old old Genetics praised you for learning how the job worked by making it easier for you to get the abillites, yes maybe on a station like Goonstation this would be OP as hulk every round, but that doesn't mean we can't change how difficult it is to get hulk with the old Genetics.
