AIM-224 'Widowmaker' targeting the other Dropship

[Ranged66]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): It's an air-to-air missile that currenly doesn't do much other than function as a very slow aiming slightly bigger inaccurate SADAR. As the name suggests it should be able to be fired at the other dropship! As it stands a dropship full of aliens coming up ends in a total alien victory 9/10 times. This could even the odds a bit. It shouldn't outright destroy the incoming dropship, but the explosion should cover about a quarter of the dropship, and be deadly enough to kill T1s and crit T2s (of course this can always be changed).

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
A bit higher marine victory rate maybe, some more functional use for the AIM, the reality of actually being able to shoot down the incoming dropship of death.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Described in summary

[MidgetSpinner]

Marines lose because marines are stupid.

Eh, while it's a reasonable thing, think this would be more than a little unfair to xenos.

-1.

[misto]

its completely sensible, but also a complete drag to be packed into the ds only to be victimized en route with no way to counter

maybe it could be used to buy time? like, put only one aboard, and using it makes the stolen ds crash back onto the planet, xenos still alive, making them have to steal the other ds to finally get up

or the widowmaker hit just slows the incoming ds and makes it take a few minutes longer to hit the almayer

I'd support the widowmaker slowing the aliens trip by damaging the engines.

[Sad_Corn]

Just delaying the engines is a good idea, giving more time to prepare. Killing T1's would be very lame and unfair, and critting everyone is kinda useless since they'll heal instantly. Neutral for now

[Boltersam]

I'd support the widowmaker slowing the aliens trip by damaging the engines.

This.

Nobody should ever be subject to a random instakill that isn't warned nor caused by their actions. I'm in favour of it slowing the dropship and giving the Marines more time to prepare.

[Fritigern]

+1 for damaging the engine and buying more time for the marines.

But I also want a small explosion inside the shuttle, too. Not to kill xenos, but maybe to kill any infested marines that may be on board and in crit. It'd be fun to have happen.

[Steelpoint]

Slowing down the other Dropship seems like a good idea.

Killing off the entire Alien team at once because they have no choice but to attack does not seem fair.

[ZDashe]

+1 to slowing down the other dropship. Gives an incentive for the PO to serve a final meaningful purpose at lategame.

[WinterClould]

+1 To slowing the DS for reasons people have said.
