Thread: Petition to have the CL of a DNA template visible during experimentation
/sign
also a ballpark figure on HAM would be nice...I made an awesome pet, but had some experimentation failures and it had like 4k health, 9k action, and 3k mind...at least what numbers to look at...actually, someone (Tal-N) can probably tell me whatI need to look at hehe...

It would definitely be a very welcome and desired addition to the system.
Instead of a DNA sample, you get a blood vile that would allow you to extract DNA samples from it. The number of samples is based on the level at which you did the original extraction from the animal.
So something like:
Novice = 2 sample blood vile
DNA I = 3 sample blood vile
DNA II = 4 sample blood vile
DNA III = 5 sample blood vile
DNA IV = 6 sample blood vile
Master = 7 sample blood vile
The basic stats will show up when you examine the vile (such as the resists and the specials), but perhaps the stats should be randomized as they are now when you take a sample as well as the quality of the dna sample. [Novice BE might get only Below Avg Samples from a vile, while a master might get VHQ samples from the same vile].
The naming of the vile should perhaps show the name of the creature like, Wasteland Cupa Blood (4). [Where (N) is the remaining samples left].
It sucks right now doing an examine on 100 different samples to figure out what creature it came from, so showing the name can prove to be a real time saver.
The number of "samples" per vile is not set in stone. Perhaps it could be a range for each, like Novice 2-4 ... Master 7 - 10 depending on the success of the extraction.
The current DNA system is clunky and tedious and definately needs an overhaul.

Ahh yes...you idea is a lil differant than the one I remember. I kinda like the idea of have it be like a factory crate with a high capacity to hold blood and you simply sample dna from it...I don't think that limiting the vile based on BE level would help all that much as far as storage goes.
Maybe we should start a new thread on this as not to high-jack this one and we can discuss this further
P.S. I wish Tal-N were here...I valued his insight on these matters

for a ball park ham fugure multiply the hardness, dex, or intelect by 17. Its usually a little more than this but its a good estimate.
gotta put my name on this... athough an a pessimistic side do you think they will even listen to this ?

tell Talthazar too. so he can put it on the top 5 issues or whatever
