so in the roleplay chat channel on the discord a lot of people were discussing SR, which happens from time to time. some regulars were dissatisfied with how often SR sees use on the RP servers specifically to revive puritans, to the point it's considered a staple of medbay by some. this is due to it being both very powerful mechanically and also really easy to produce. at a point a dev came in and agreed that, with the frequency of this phenomenon, it probably means SR needs a nerf
the dev's proposed nerf was just to make it not work with puritans (and maybe to shake up the production ratio a little) and, while I personally think this serves as a fine way to dissuade people from making sr to bypass the main downside of the puritan trait, I do think it removes some niche scenarios where it could be used dramatically. personally, if its production was nerfed, rather than its effects - if it had a very arduous or convoluted way of making it, for example, or there was some way to keep you from having much of it on-hand at any given time
what do you guys think? what sort of changes to SR would you like to see, and what sort of consequences do you think they'd have?
