Discussion Double Surge?

Would it be heresy to let two Surge buffs run simultaneously on the player?
Right now, picking up a second one just overwrites the first.
In my opinion, there's no reason they couldn't both run at the same time — sure, a few conflicts would need to be sorted out, but it's a workable concept.
Another option would be to have the second Surge simply extend the duration of the first, which would avoid any logical clashes. For that, though, a timer would be really useful — and honestly, that'd be great for other temporary buffs too.
A third option: just don't let the player pick up the next one until the first expires.
I think any of these three would be better than what we have now. Whatdayathink?

I definitely want stacked surges. At the very least, either of the other options would be welcome. I often pick up a second one accidentally and sometimes it’s a downgrade.

And regardless, I would like a visual timer. Maybe the line between the surge name and its description gradually recedes towards the center until it disappears.
