Xeno Queen Evolution Manager(tm)

Post by GoliathTheDespoiler » 11 Jun 2017, 00:20

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Gives the Queen the ability to guide the hive's evolution by approving individual 'evolution requests'.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Allows queens to have a more forceful control over their hive's composition, and prevents baldie aliens from going rav and killing infected or soon-to-be-infected. This will indeed put some strain on queen players, but it will fill in the long 30 minute periods of just sitting in a dark, wet room and laying eggs.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Essentially, the queen will have a new verb, called something like "Enable/Disable evolve requests" that, when enabled, stops alien players from evolving. Instead, messages will appear in the queen's textbox saying something along the lines of:
Young Sentinel (423) is trying to evolve into a Spitter. Approve/Disapprove
This will mean that queens can choose between letting their babies evolve as they please, or instead having a more strict control of what the composition of the hive is. While I understand some people will see this as unnecessary, but I do know that some queens will greatly appreciate something like this and at the VERY least, makes queens actually have a physical effect on the choices that xenos make (I get that by RP they need to listen to the queen, but they usually don't. E.G. the 4 runners that go to Nexus and die. Every. Single. Round.)

+1 Only for T3 though, because people evolve to T2 all the time and it will just FLOOD the shit out of your screen.
Quick Edit: Maybe you can select what type of evolutions you want to manage, like if you wanna manage T2 or T3 or all at the same time.

Oh Jesus Christ, please, do this. Silent T3 evolutions can fuck up xenos hard. (1 Rav, 1 Hivelord, 2 Boilers and 2 Praes. Half of them silently evolved. Nice, who will destroy FOB defences now?)

Hivelord be t2 my man. But I see your point.

Queens don't really have any way to use their power on other aliens. They only got ahelp and the rule that says 'follow queen's orders'.

Denied. We aren't going to keep people from evolving due to the potential for abuse.
