Some small suggested changes in xeno-containment

[Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws]

Summary:Reduce the total amount of prods from 5 to 3 as well as making them harder to access, and add in a couple of monkey cube boxes

Benefits: Would discourage marines from breaking into containment for those sweet, sweet, OP prods as well as lowering the numbers of them, as well as giving live specimens for researchers to test out their grenades/other creations.

Details: Simply lower the amount of prods from the needlessly excessive amount of 5 to 3, maybe even 2. There's no real need for there to be so many when capturing a live xeno to begin with is uncommon. Also, their location needs to be moved, whether they're in their own subroom, behind reinforced walls and an ID restricted door, or in a lock box of some kind. The only thing stopping a Rambo marine from obtaining them is a window. Having them behind more restricted access would better imply that the regular marines are not to be grabbing them like free candy. As far as the monkey cubes go, I've often found myself wanting to test out just how effective my grenades would be against an actual target, but I've got nothing to go on besides my own faith, as well as past experiences.

Implementation: Prods: Reduce their number, put them in research-access restricted lockboxes or behind its own subroom, complete with reinforced walls and a researcher-restricted door. Monkey cubes: Place a couple monkey cube boxes on the containment table for testing purposes.

+1 this so hard, does not even need explanation

[crazyh206]

Um so much bold and underlining and would be good for monkey cubes

[Felkvir]

I was about to make a suggestion for the prods aswell ...


You may have heard of the 'prodknight' ... AKA marine idol of robusting shortcuts. It's painful to watch and can switch xenos chances if any marine can get their hands on them .. I'd say if possible make the prods only work effectively on larvas and basic castes ... Or might aswell remove them if we can't make them work in a better way yet.

I wonder who that robust and good looking Prodknight is

No one at anytime mentioned the words 'good lookin' so you batshit crazy boy

[coroneljones]

...This is as obvious as the identity of Batman

Apophis?

If Apophis agrees, I made a pull to nerf the prodders:
Tier 0 aliens (larvas) stun length will be even higher
Tier I aliens stun length will stay as it is
Tier II aliens stun will be lowered with 30% resistance chance
Tier III aliens stun will be lowered even more with 80% resistance chance.

Thoughts?

Good .. Maybe make tier 2 aliens a bit more resistant than that

[coroneljones]

What about tier 4 AKA the Queen?

[Infernus]

It's under Tier III for now

[apophis775]

Maybe, I'll make a research gear dispenser, so that only the researchers can get hte containment gear...

[El Yahpo]

I like monkeys on the sulaco, I like that very much.

[speedybst]

+1 from me, agree with everything here

[Fickmacher]

+1 Here. Monkies would add some flavor, only issue being that they can be infected. Other than that, though, I'm still saying yes. Three pens, three prods. Makes sense.

Reseach is getting removed, so this is locked as Out of Date
