Red Runners

Post by Artyom » 02 Aug 2015, 15:11

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Change Runner colour to black.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Make it so there's not a red alien caste in the hive for no reason.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It's pretty lore breaking, there's no point for the runner to be red.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Change the sprite colour of the runner to black.

Red Runners has been with us for awhile... I don't want runners to be changing... Hell, their color is actually red/brownish.

I wouldn't mind having this stay the same.
Marines are quick to analyze and call out the "Red Dog" that just ran by and attacked them.
I mean, it wouldn't be hard to describe what it was if it was black but it's become a common thing now.
However, having it changed to black wouldn't bother me either.
I think I'll be neutral as well.

Why wouldn't you want them to change?

it will stop runners being bullied for their race

they're kind of like eminem, surrounded by blacks in their profession.

Also, pointing out, the runners in everything that they appear in, are the dull red from the film, since that was the first appearance of them. Perhaps make them darker, but they should be red, really.

They should be red. Make them a darker red with black being the secondary color or even purple?

Runners have always been brown. Dark brown in fact.

Which is down to the lighting they used in the film, and the type of camera's - same as the Pulse Rifle is actually Thompson brown, but the the lighting-camera combo turned it green. But, in normal lighting, it looks like this: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/sca ... alien3.jpg

That's not even NEAR the red that they are in the game.

Which is why I suggested darkening them, not making them black.

I think it'd look more realistic and authentic if they were brown over bright red.

Heh... Lol What?
True, color doesn't really make a difference. Even if you made it black or brownish. It's still a runner regardless.

I can sometimes see green. But other than that completely. Lets see how you feel after 23 concusions and demntia. Seriously my brain is like a damn watermelon at this point.

Red aliens actually exist in lore but they're considered rebels.
