Facehugger Fixes

[Juninho77]

Just changing the Text isnt going to help :3 Add a longer time, and some frickin brute damage. Because AGAIN I will stress this. I hate seeing marines being hugged dragged off by a Marine, that removes the facehugger, then the 1st marines jumps up from the Ground and charges in, repeat

Perhaps try pulling the facehugged marine into your nest? That would solve your problem.

Actually, one of the discussions we've had, is that possibly, the surgery/removal will have a chance to kill, as well as do damage to the player, relative to the stage:

Stage 1 removal: 0% chance to kill player, 25 brute damage to chest
stage 2 removal: 25% chance to kill player, 50 brute damage to chest otherwise
stage 3 removal: 50% chance to kill player, 50 Brute, 50 Toxin damage otherwise
stage 4 removal: 75% chance to kill player, 50 brute, 50 toxin, 50 oxy damage otherwise.
Stage 5: Burst...

That's...a bad idea apop
Commonly when the marines are being surgeryed upon, its on stage 3-4 and if you lucky, 2, heck they sometimes are already close to stage 5...

ALL THE PLUS +1s! Finally the aliens get a buff and marines get a nerf

The Hugger time is already fairly long i know it was shortened but even so as the hugger knockout was shortened the infection was sped up.. so.. i don't really see a need for this anymore.. i mean yes i agree with you on the fact we need maybe toxins damage or brute to happen when you are hugged, not too much mind you, just enough to make people think twice about running in.

@ Wooks, welp I kinda want Brute damage because Toxin is a little OP because (I think) toxin damange slowly inceases over time if not treated

Brute or burn damage would work... burn damage would work because you could say.... when you rip off the hugger a bit of the acid ( or whatever it is) drops onto and around the face area.. ?

You were suggesting 75% chance of instadeath and you say toxin damage is OP? Give me the damage, that I can deal with. Death is a little more complicated.

Like I suggested earlier, the hugger should be unremoveable until it says it goes limp after violating their face, at which point it should fall off, just like they do in the movies.

Again, I posted what our "eventual" plan is. That's the only thing we'll do. We don't want to make facehuggers so much of a disability, that it removes people for long times if they are just hit with a hugger randomly, in a group.

We have to balance for fun.
