Something I just thought of which might be worth ranting about.
People say Geneticists shouldn't have effective super powers, hulk for instance is now pretty god damn awful. A power that dates right back to the first Genetics code on any station. A power that "in real life" (The movies and comic books) You can kick butt in.
If someone makes themselves hulk to then go traitor hunt that should be considered powergamey and stupid and possibly against the rules. Depending on how you look at it.
But stopping people who happen to be traitors from giving themselves fun, interesting and powerful powers?
No that's stupid, Genetics is all about experimenting and seeing what works with what.
If your worried about Chemists making stuff to mess with your round, you blow up chemistry.
If your worried about Security being effective and messing with your round, you blow up Security.
If your worried about QM bringing in crates and crates full of weaponry, you blow up QM.
If your worried about Geneticists walking around minding their own business as (an effective - Old style) Hulk who is also impervious to heat. YOU BLOW UP GENETICS!
You don't nerf the living poop out of a jobs fun and content until there's no possible way for that job to be a threat ever again.
