Queens Dropship Access [Removal/Amend]

Post by solidfury7 » 17 May 2017, 16:15

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Remove Queens access to the dropship feature or amend it with a 5 second delay (similar to building) so Aliens don't follow the simple pattern of rushing the dropships cockpit and locking it.

There are a few different ways this could be fixed

- Any marine can undo the Queens lock (This can be explained as the alien queen excreeting goo on the console which prevents its access to marines, this goo has to be removed, this could have a delay also)

- Cockpit is reinforced heavily and/or turrets are reintroduced

- Additional access to send the ship up (and remove the lock) from an alternative location, if someone with access to it does so. (Keep it close to LZ1 dropship for balance reasons)

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
The implemenation of the Queen lock was designed to stop Command Staff from calling it up early and memeing the aliens with UGLs and preset defences, now instead, Aliens rush the cockpit and can single handedly meme the whole marine force on the ground, simply because by this time, the majority of the people with access to the consoles are either KIA or quickly cut down by the aliens focusing the access holders or guarding the cockpit

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
More mechanical balance, less abuseable tactics.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

I +1 the any marine can undo it idea. Doesn't mean they will, but at least the option is there.

Yeah, this abuse is really getting to marine players' nerves. Needs to be dealt with. Either make cockpit impenetratable from outside, reintroduce sentries, all making all marines able to remove lock. I'd say, that's kinda of priority, especcially for Lazarus.
