Ability to play as the animals (Jones, Ian, maybe the monkies or mice)

[UnknownMurder]

I have a suggestion... If you want players to play as animals.

Whitelist the animals so the animals does not interfere with gameplay in any way.

I'd actually be very pleased with this.

I can see it now, players creating a deep, dramatic backstory more complicated than some of the real dossiers we have.

History: Cupcakes was born on an outpost long ago. After being picked up by the Colonial Marines on their patrol, he was eventually brought into the squads for certain missions that required him. He almost died his first few goes but was taught the ways of being a combat K-9. Cupcakes rescued a fellow dog on one patrol, and average pooch deemed as Muffins. He showed the runt how to be a fine working comrade and together they fought crime and the forces of evil. On one employment, the enemy was hailing gunfire at the marines. The two dogs took action by sneaking around and ganged the shooters. But alas, one the combatants shot Muffins in the heart and like died man. He also shot Cupcakes but he survived somehow. After that happened he was all like "Man I don't wanna do this anymore" and retired. The End~

Likes: Sweet foods. Old boots.
Dislikes: Loud noise. Flames.

I definitely agree with having a special animal role that around 5 or so people can opt into play, just like the xeno's or survivor.

I wouldn't mind this, but I'd only appreciate seeing them on the Sulaco

Having trooper pets is a definite no for me.
Having "stay-at-home" pets would be pretty cool I suppose

cool that was my idea of it anyway
