Re: Raise the amount of heretics on MRP from 1 to 2 (or more)
The issue with increasing the amount of heretics onboard the station is that you'll end up with situations where every single corner and square inch if the station will be covered in rifts that remove people's limbs and make them want to kill themselves. Science never does anything about them eithe...

That's only sorta true. A combat mech without any arm equipment can't do much of anything.
