A choice that we must vote on...

Generic, on-topic discussion about Colonial Marines.

How should we handle when people don't burst because people don't have Xeno Prefs on?

I really enjoy this change. Not only are hosts not wasted, xenos need to protect the sleeping larva, which means they need to fiercely protect their nest.

SSD larva is best option. cooldown for larva possesion is ridiculous, having to wait 10 minutes to get back in the game and another 2-4 minutes on top of that is ludicrous. If you want to stop kamikaze xenos it'd be better to have a death tracker that prevents possesion if you have x (3 or more sounds reasonable) deaths in the last 15-20 minutes.

Another idea. Could you implement some simple AI which would lead SSD larva to hide after bursting?
At least, like "after bursting, toggle hiding on, choose random direction and crawl non-stop until first obstacle met"
Or (this sound like a fantasy) crawl up to closest adult xeno or Queen.

Also, aliens currently miss "A LARVA(999) IS BORN IN LIASONS' OFFICE" announce in hive chat.
