GENETICS

[Vitatroll]

Waaahhhh I don't get cloned and/or can't be assed to use one of the million easy ways to get rid of a body.

Very productive opinion you have there.

Anyways. Even though I DNR all the time, my opinion on completely removing cloning is similar to Houka's. I used to be firmly in the camp of removing it completely, but the more I thought about it the more it felt weird. Before anything else changes I'd like to see how the single, nearly public cloner does for a while longer. It gets blown up often, and mechanics (myself included) don't always scan it. Hell, maybe just make it unscannable to boot.

While I don't support removing cloning completely (yet, at least), your other ideas are interesting. While neat, I don't think making the main way to revive people (if cloning got taking out) connected to engineering is a good idea. That puts undue pressure on Engineers to do the same boring engine day in and day out. Now that hellburning has a use it will be done more often. I like this. Though I do wish the station had more heat shielding, but I digress. If it was made to where a hellburn was required to revive, then new or experimenting engineers will be the ones to get drowned in salt. That's not to say I dislike the idea. In style, I love it. We just have to take reactions from all sides in account.

Now. On moving genetics to research? All day long, I say. Especially since the only cloner we have is already out of genetics.
