Remove marines ability to pull T3 Xenos & Queen

[VenomBH]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Remove the ability for humans to pull T3 xenos and the Queen/Empress. I don't see how the marines can pull something that's 20ft tall.



Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Stops Marines somehow dragging the massive mass of alien away, such as at ladders or just anywhere in general. I don't see how it's possible.


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

Just add a flavour text, when marines try to pull the xeno with something along the lines of "You're unable to pull such a large creature" or something like that.


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

Code it in the same way as xenos being unable to pull objects etc.

I remember posting something similar to this a while back and basically it can't be done as it would require the xenos to be anchored and the only time a xeno would be able to be anchored is when they are dead so unless the dev team have found a way to make this happen within in the last year I don't think it's possible :/. See more info about that here

If this is possible then +1 (If only alien T3's can't be pulled when they are alive, i.e with a player in the aliens ckey slot.)

-1.This will fuck up the new research update(where T3s and the queen give the most amount of shit needed for the acid and past etc.) I don't see why this is a big deal as the only time they would pull ANY xeno is if the xeno is dead or SSD

[Shyguychizzy]

-1 Well xenos should play a tad more strategic there is no other way to say it, also only way a marine can capture a xeno is if they are down. Fair game, for the marine pulled the xeno away because it was more tactical to put it near marines, the xenos should of full on charged. I agree with the post above, it would fuck up with the new research update.

-1 If you're in crit in melee range of a marine you're already dead.

[Casany]

I don't think he means when it is in crit. i've seen it happen where a marine will drag a MOVING queen who is trying to get down the ladders so that she can't escape. Same with a marine dragging a crusher from safety while meleeing it. I don't see how that's fair OR possible. But that's just my imput. Neutral

[Dankus_Mucstankus]

Yea, I saw you raging about that, and calling it 'powergaming' in Looc after you died. It happens so rarely, that there isn't any point in removing it. And when a xeno is stunned infront of a bunch of marines, then its pretty much already too late.

+1 cuss muh imursioens

It's just so bad it's good.

[Toroic]

I have yet to have this be an issue. If you don't have enough time to climb down the ladder you fucked up.

+1, once when I was a queen I had like 3 other aliens pushing behind me with harm intent and a marine threw a grenade. I was stuck and couldn't do anything. The grenade blew I was stunned but behind a wall, safe from shooting and the marine ran in pulled me out into the open and like 10 marines opened fire. RIP. But for this RD movement of higher castes Maybe RD could outfit the ripely with some stuff or just give the ripely the ability to pull a captured queen/heavier aliens? it would give some more purpose to the ripely

[TopHatPenguin]

This could probably be locked and moved as it's in now.

[Surrealistik]

It's total bullshit that marines can shape high grade steel into girder reinforced walls with their bare-hands but can't pull T3s.

[SUPERMAN112]

I just wanna do my civic duty and say "bump" since Im pretty sure this is implemented now, and you get a swipe for trying... sooo... BUMMMP! yay one of like 1,000 down
