Hmmm...you do realize that once a person is fully grown, you would have to
change every single DNA strand somehow, in order to alter their DNA? This is
pretty unfeasible....especially given the number of cells in a fully grown
human. Also, there's the problem of a cancer developing from cells
inaccurately reprogrammed...
But anywayz. I always thought that you should be able to purchase cybernetic
enhancements for your soldiers, ala Syndicate. This would make for some
really interesting differences in the abilities of soldiers, especially if
there was no clear-cut progression in the order of parts purchase.
By this I mean the tendency of computer games to just have a weak-gun, good
gun, better-gun, best-gun progression. It would be far more fun to mix and
match parts with different vulnerabilities and strengths and powers than to
just research the next upgrade, buy it for all your guys, enjoy how they are
more powerful, then research the next upgrade.
