I believe that ground should take the game to the next level by making the characters have certain ability’s. Max would be the bronze of the group, He would deal more damage and have a better stamina regeneration, but he would gain less raw science when researching undiscovered items. Pete being the nerd he is would be the brain, Gaining more raw science when researching and being a little faster than the other characters but he would do less damage. I guess you get the idea. I think it would bring more variety of play styles to the game.
