[QUOTE="Locutus Zero, post: 5600981, member: 100080"] Sure, ideally the CB would let you say "I want the 2nd revision of this power, not the 3rd.", but the scope of that feature is just too great for the dev team to handle. As a developer, I can imagine how many fundamental changes to the system would have to be made to allow multiple version of each power. The behind-the-scenes database side would be a challenge, but not terrible. The real problem would be in the UI. Almost every panel of the CB would need to be redone, not just adding a checkbox or something, but probably a whole new pane. I think the best solution would be to allow one to create one's own powers. The UI to create this would be very complicated, but at least it wouldn't interact with the rest of the UI. There would also be a lot of bugs at first (or a limited set of what you could do with your homebrew powers). But once you made a power, it would be a fairly simple matter for the devs, I think, to allow it to be usable. Homebrew would just be its own source. [/QUOTE]
