When are bombs OK?

[Nnystyxx]

hey guys, you ever wonder if research is ever gonna get some new research to research, rather than bombs, which seem to be kind of a perfected craft at this point

Yeah i was just thinking about that, we should add a way to use dwaine to research technology and build new things, like the research system on tg but not as shit, gonna write up a mini-design document for this and put it on the forum once i have the time.

As in every place where this is even vaguely mentioned, I continue to maintain that Toxins should be converted into an R&D area with doofy science gizmos and particle beams and such, a place for the crew to build neat technological things for ease-of-life (or just, I dunno, making a turbocharged segway).

Toxins itself could be moved to the research station, approximately the only place in the fucking world you should ever be actually detonating a canbomb if you're not a traitor (because every other circumstance is fairly extenuating). Put a teleporter to the research station or something if you want, or just a camera feed, so you can tell if some nerd is making bombs in secret.

I just hate the fact that Toxins is the biggest wing of Research when it's almost worthless without very explicit permission to use it or if you're a Badguy. Nine out of ten times I go in there it's completely empty. So much floor space, so much room to work, and a field that is 50% secrets and 50% griff. You're not even allowed to tell people the good canbomb mixes. There's no real 'standard' there, unlike chemistry goofiness or artifact research or configuring the teleporter. It just seems like no fun unless you're causing untold havoc, meaning the biggest part of Research is useless garbage.

I think about this a lot.

EDIT: Heck, Toxins is even the biggest Science department (by sheer floorspace) in the Destiny too, despite being even more inapplicable due to its small size.
EDIT2: And Clarion too! Admittedly, because the whole thing involves dragging canisters around, but holy shit!
