Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):A quick pop up to allow aliens to name themselves for more uniqueness and to be more easily identified.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):Allows aliens to be more identified instead of the queen saying 'runner' and half the aliens responding.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):A pop up after each evolution for you to name yourself.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):Rip off the wizard game mode code and re-work it a bit.

Re: Alien Names
Pre-assigned names (like how space ninjas get them) wouldn't be bad in my opinion. But I think I prefer numbers.

Re: Alien Names
Numbers are good but they kinda break Rp.... so names would be nice.

Re: Alien Names
It seems a tad trivial but I suggest that queen can name certain aliens that they feel excel in talent. Perhaps this could give the queen some go-to names for their best and operate similarly to the medal system for marines.

Re: Alien Names
Giving xenos names would break the "you arent an individual,just a mindless being serving the hivemind with other mindless beings"
In the end,xenos arent individuals,they are simply tools that the queens use to spread the infestation and survive

Re: Alien Names
AND ITS EXTRA HERETICAL! I have to disagree with the name deal. Like said they are servants not individuals with personalities they are Xenomorphs 'Serpents' not humans, Humans have unique personalities however. Giving a Xeno a name is like making it a pet. It does not work.coroneljones wrote:Giving xenos names would break the "you arent an individual,just a mindless being serving the hivemind with other mindless beings"
