Chuck virology.
tenure is a really shitty reason to keep a feature and hasn't stopped people from removing them in the past(see: cloning).
make viruses that are also affected by genetics so we can make uroborosAnnihilite111 wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 9:26 am Virology just needs to be less isolated IMO. Make it a more integrated part of medical to enable more interaction with the rest of the department, even if that would be kind of stupid realistically. It would also be really cool if we could make viruses that mutated humans and gave them random physical alterations with various boons and drawbacks. I'm thinking stuff like the xenobio armgun and armblade, but with a ton of RNG to prevent le epic speedrun any% for the strongest shit imaginable. Imagine getting a liver that processes toxins into ling haste, but also takes high tox damage while doing so and makes you allergic to some medicines. You could have tons of fun just mutating your own organs and having the deadly ones operated out by doctors, and end up becoming an inhuman abomination with completely unique rules for what harms you and what you're good at. I want more strong, cool shit locked behind RNG, damnit.

let viro mains unleash their inner wesker
You got it the wrong way around king, genetics should be achievable through scanning the different cytology mobs.Annihilite111 wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 1:08 pmCytology should have been achievable with genetics
That's actually cool as hell. Would be much more fun and we could rebuild the genetics labs into dedicated cyto labs. It makes perfect sense too, getting your superpowers from mutant beasts instead of them being dormant in people. Since cytology is so damn time consuming and logistics heavy we could have much stronger genetic powers locked behind really hard to make creatures too. Imagine cooperating with botany, chemistry and the bartender along with several other scientists to grow a chimeric pseudo-xenomorph as big as a queen but way more deadly. Basically megafauna lite whose genome could be analysed and converted into a mutation that lets you run like you're on meth permanently and gives you natural stealth and armor. For extra FUN the creature could be required to be sentient too, becoming an antag and having to be contained for x amount of time while its genome is being extracted. I imagine something like the dominus rex for jurassic world. A superpredator that outspeeds humans and has chameleon stealth for utterly horrifying ambushes.Jackraxxus wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 3:37 pmYou got it the wrong way around king, genetics should be achievable through scanning the different cytology mobs.Annihilite111 wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 1:08 pmCytology should have been achievable with genetics
Like you get mutations through the critters.
