Queen Jelly (Research Item)

[Rocco Ward]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): When a queen corpse is taken to R&D and is sliced to shreds, it provides new material called "Queen Jelly". This should be a one-use item that gives the user the ability to be IMMUNE from face huggers. Considering how rare queen's corpses are, this shouldn't be too OP.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Gives a serious reward for marines when they take down the queen.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Use the same code as marines who have larva inside them. I'm sure it's just one boolean variable that needs to be toggled on. (facehugger_immunity = true)

I really like the idea, but I can already see the fights.

This, pretty much.

Not only that but the current design is to stop hugger combat, making this a lot less useful overall and more specific to what I assume will be rooms full of eggs popping out huggers at you.

-1, I don't think this is a good idea because it just leads to powergaming and such, and I really don't think you should ever be immune to facehuggers.

With 4 slashs the ayys can pretty much decap you. If this Is actually implemented, the rewards from obtaining a queen's corpse should be only used with the commanding roles, like CO or XO. It should only stay with the command staff, far from the ramborines and from those who would or could be injured/killed quickly.

Meh, you can already become immune by getting infected. Not to mention a queen's corpse is such a rare event, it should be worth a rare reward.

A reward that is exclusive to someone and would be lost soon...-1

Wait, is there a way to edit transparency of a mob, but only so that it effects a certain type of other mob?

Maybe instead of hugger immunity, royal jelly makes it difficult for xenos to see you. I'm not sure how that could be done. Maybe pull in some code from how drones see regular mobs? (though I'm not sure if that's just a tg thing).

Would probably be more of a combat drug than anything else; grind it into a beaker then make it into drugs.

I did look a bit more into this and it technically would work better as a combat drug considering the effects it gives.
Would work well to suggest.

+1 because I was told not to support it and fuck the system.

[Rocco Ward]

Eh, you could say that about any reward from R&D. Marines will fight over everything.

[Edgelord]

Hugger combat isn't in CM's endgame, I imagine one day it'll be removed.

No way, only because that would give you immunity to facehuggers, and that's pretty lore breaking. Denied.
