This is why evil corporations and shadow governments have switched from supersoldiers to powered armor. The supersoldiers don't give you enough bang for your buck and they're likely to go rogue, unlike powered armor. Okay, sometimes the cooling systems fail and the soldiers inside die in the heat, but that only happens 34% of the time.

Just jumping in here to look and I think I found a new Sig

[Fniff]

Awesome, thanks!

[Fniff]

I cannae math.

If you're going for one third of people, the figure should be 33% *snort*

33 + 33 + 33 = 99

There's got to be a 34 in there somewhere!
...
(don't you dare bring up the 1/3 fraction)

33.3333333333...%, actually The threes just keep on coming. 33% is a third of a percent less than a third, haha!

I cannae math.

No, no, this is what you do Fniff! The correct answer is, "I wasn't going for a third ".

Hey, the frostbitten shins debacle was shaken out during prototyping. It's a total non-issue now.

Every time I hear about genetically modifying creatures to add extra limbs and the like, a little voice in the back of my head goes 'GENETICS DON'T WORK LIKE THAT! GRARARGH!'

It does if you fuck with it enough.

Thing is, when you go on about it like this, you're oftentimes treating genes like you can insert a gene somewhere and suddenly a tentacle grows out of your belly. Really, you'd need to be BORN with the DNA for it (or have some sort of therapy that somehow makes it grow).

Hence fucking with it.

33 + 33 + 33 = 99

Alternatively, 100 = 99.

[Sergius]

You can make three times 33% add to 100% if you remodulate the frequencies.

I am sure that these "mutations" are more like Pokémon or Boarderlands 2... and Less like real live mutations and evolution.

Just think about it, some teenager has their back hurting when they grow too fast, or their chest.. now think how it would hurt as your nervous system is ripped apart and reconstructed into your mutated limb and so on... i think even shouting in tears would not help and you might even fall uncounscious due to pain. Thats the nervous system, your muscle, sinew and everything else would hurt soo much... it would take years to grow something with bareable pain, having it *pop* out would almost outright kill you at worst.

Thats what i think without any medical knowledge with nothing more than my common sense and knowledge.

It is usually the legs. I am 6 foot 4 and the growing pains when I was a kid were pretty bad.

Damnit, I was hoping to field and army of stillborn deformities

Clearly the solution, therefore, is to genetically engineer out the feeling of pain, before you go about changing limbs and whatnot. Clearly.

Or at least train them to not process that sensory information as pain.

Clearly.
