Thread: Give us our second step experimentation back
Ok I'm not master , yet! so this may self correct when i finally get there (3/2/4/2) .
My issue is that setting aside the confusion of trying to combine dna, with any hope of getting desired results, I find it extremly frustrating to attempt to make some decent NON-CH pets and end up with a nice DifLvl -11 pet. What happens to this decent little critter, NOTHING it get recycled hoping to lower the next round to at least 9 or 10. BUT as a result i end up with a DifLvl of 7 or even 5.
CH's are not our only clients, me being master CH and a bioEng, i have a large group that want "something different" from the run of the mill wild ch pets. Another frustrating result is no matter HOW you balance the health/action/mind when experimenting onthe template. You quite often get a pet with a HAM of 4000/200/400 or some odd mixture like that.
I propose to the devs, to go ahead keep the generic dna template as is, its fine, and hey, i have a blast with some of these suprises. BUT give us the following experimentation :
HAM Balancing: experimentation in this will lower the highest stat by 10% and apply those pts to the lower stats. Taking yer 4000/300/500 critter and ending up with something like a 1600/1600/1600 I'd be MUCH happier with this than the prior one.
RAISE STATS: Only allow a max of 10% or 25% increase. Tie it back into the quality of the meat and veggies. Raisong this though will in turn raise the Dif Lvl of the pet.
Lower DifLvl: Yeah Bio Engineers should be able to produce more bang for the buck. medics can lower the skill needed to use meds, why cant we lower the skill neded to use pets. Cap it at like a 5 pt max. This will make some of those DifLvl 12 pets us NON_master BE's end up with a viable selling item, by being able to experiment a DL-12 down toa DL-10 .
I don't think these suggestionswould unbalance the game in anyway, they would simply allow us BE's to do a a little cleaning around the edges afyter attempting to figure outwhat goes where with out 5 dna samples.
OH and one final thing..make ALL DifLvl-10 and below pets usable by NON-CH's many players have asked for the likes of Kusack or Hurtoons, BUT even if i use durni dna and get it to CL-5 its stull unusable by them.
