Artemis suit rank up. Add one species per level to the scanning tool

[Mrc_NorthEast]

Hi Fdev,

As an incentive to explorers to upgrade their Artemis suits. Please consider adding an additional species per suit level allowed to be scanned before all 3 samples taken.

G1 Artemis suit = 1 genetic sample species at a time, just like now
G2 = +1 species at the same time. So scan sample 1 from plant 1. Allow scan of sample one from plant 2, allow both to be finished in any order
G3 = +1 more species
G4 = +1 more species
G5 = +1 more species

Seconded. Would make those clusters of several species in the same spot really interesting, or more than just visually when there’s space grass strewn among the aloe vera pretenders and/or some “stratum” (what are those anyway, photosynthetic plant-like organisms on rocks or another form of germs?).

Or you find that elusive fungus patch in the mountains next to some space bushes, but you have to keep chasing the ‘fun’goids instead of profiting from the occasion.

I upgraded mine to G5 and it's become my first choice of suit for running missions. The extra jet pack boost really makes bouncing from one end of a settlement to the other quick and easy.

As for the only one plant at a time rule for the scanner, I never got that. Just an unnecessary and frustrating delay for no real reason.

Given Pioneer offering G3 suits for just credits I am not sure this is going to force/encourage/incentivise those uninterested in engineering to bother doing it, perhaps if the additions didn’t kick in until G4.

Yep. Adds absolutely nothing to the game.

Don't even justify that terrible decision by gamifying it with requests to increase it per upgrade or make it a suit modification. It just should not exist full stop.
