Quote:Regular doses of Stabiline may replace Cardimine intake, resulting in an addict who is no longer dependant on an illegal substance, although the pharmaceutical does not reduce the pre-existing chemical dependency,nor does it reverse previous DNA alteration. Side-effects are the same as from Cardimine, although use of Stabiline does not involve a biochemical dependency unless the user is already addicted to Cardimine.
I'm amused you don't know it as someone in Cryer player group.

It is still untested afaik from what I remember from chat about the mod some time ago, just saying. Unless there's official Dev note, I will not recognize Stabiline as fully side-effect-free medicine, which actually is a legal drug being the main profit of Cryer. Let's not forget the fact that Cryer was built onto cash from Synthetic Marijuana.

Also you're wrong. But I think we've gotten used to that being the case, so I don't even have to prove it.

ooh this still going. hmm
ok my 5
treatment dumb
no, but totally unsuccessful
the rp that is/has happened
yes
curing addiction, considering its genetic implications is unlikely in the extreme.
a blocking agent ie immunisational treatment is tenuously possible given extremely lengthy research (and the rp to back it).
so in general terms i agree with the proposition.

Its called science fiction.
RE: Cardamine treatment roleplay is dumb - Findarato Veneanar - 02-16-2016
And player driven lore.
RE: Cardamine treatment roleplay is dumb - Skorak - 02-16-2016
Sadly Freelancer has more fiction than science. I found that trying to explain it too much ruins it.
RE: Cardamine treatment roleplay is dumb - Durandal - 02-16-2016
Roleplaying attempted treatment is fine, actually coming up with a solution however would neuter the Outcasts entirely, as well as butcher what is arguably the most interesting lore aspect of Freelancer.
You can more or less take this as an official statement from the story team that there won't ever be a magical cure for Cardamine dependence, and Stabaline will very much remain difficult to obtain and come with a whole slew of problems.
RE: Cardamine treatment roleplay is dumb - Skorak - 02-16-2016
When we get official story statements now. Can you kinda tell us if the infocard is correct? Does Stabiline have the same side effects of cardamine?
Then I would kinda not see the disadvantage of using it. All rich people and important soldiers would probably take it. Enhanced reflexes, brain activity paired with slower aging sound great.
