Predalien can make face.

[Dirty Old Harry]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make the Predalien able to implant Embryo's as seen in the film Aliens: Requiem.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Gives the server another reason to fear The Beast.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): As seen in the film, the predalien was able to force embryo's down a woman's throat so that she could become impregnated, have a similar feature here like how a changeling would absorb someone, have a suitable host in a strong grab by the neck and activate it as an ability, the victim takes some heavy brute damage to the head and is knocked out from the shock of it happening (And obviously impregnate them). Also have the ability only usable once every ten or fifteen minutes maybe to cut back on it being spammed and meaning it'll likely need to look for a host and stalk it's prey much like a Yaujta would stalk their prey.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Little bit of elbow grease and coding and it'll be right as rain.

Oh my.

The predalien, even after the first nerfs, can still decimate *entire squads* with as little (maybe even less) as a pheromone drone to back it up. I'm speaking from experience, and the squad in question was composed of regulars or fairly competent marines as well as a SADAR spec.
Not really sure it needs a buff, but I'm going to sit at neutral.

Can see where you're coming from but from the way i see it, everything should be as they are in the lore, aliens should be pretty powerful and humans should clearly be at a disadvantage, it's for a good cause. It's for mah immershunz.

>i understand your point that predaliens literally walk over everything with almost no effort but i think they should be stronger

[coroneljones]

Well
Two things
First, the predalien in that movie was a queen.
Second, they did it to PREGNANT women.

Pregnant women eh? You do know of the things that go on in the back of squad preps with the marines, right?

But seriously, why specifically only pregnant women? Does the larva only feed of unborn fetus or something?

It's just like i said it and just like Apop himself said, the marines are intended to be at a disadvantage and when do you ever see a Predalien anyways? Also i'd like to point out the fact that some things that are here have been bended a bit and changed around compared to how they'd be in the aliens universe, like how the queen can plant eggs without a giant eggsac and that Praes grow up in the hive along with their sisters rather than survive in isolation. Making the predalien able to impregnate people doesn't sound like too much of a stretch if you ask me.

[Obscurify]

No.

I know this thread is literally just a joke but why not?

everything should be as they are in the lore

Helmets don't block face huggers.
Chestbusters take hours to pop
Smartgun has autoaim.
Half the guns don't exist because they were in use after 2170s (like smartgun or the 88 Mod 4 pistol the CL gets for example)
Xenomorphs get raped by our explosive tipped bullets.
Et cetera

Let's do this shit. Lore accurate CM server named "Hell"

It's better not to think about it.

However, in the film's official commentary, it is mentioned as a male. Its reproduction method is described as a "side effect" of the potent Predator DNA, which gives them more to work with. It could also explain why it limits its host to females, pregnant or not.

Later, though, the Predalien was offically confirmed as a female, and the reason it could infect women with Xenomorph embryos without the aid of a facehugger, is so she could quickly grow her hive before she developed the eggsack and became immobile.

Basically, don't think about it too hard, because the creators didn't

That, and it's not a regular part of gameplay at the moment. Don't make suggestions as I will autodeny them. When it is implemented as a regular part of gameplay, we can see about changing things.
