Allow larvae that have been ghosted out of to be taken over.

Post by block1 » 02 Aug 2015, 22:01

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Allow ghosts to take over larvae that have been ghosted out of.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): So aliens didn't infect someone for no reason and to allow players to get back into the game.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Same way as someone is randomly selected to spawn as a larvae.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

I usually ahelp asking if I can get put into an SSD alien body. Good admins understand that sometimes people burst as a larvae, then just ghost or leave. More peeps able to play the better!

We understand this, However most of us do not have the permissions needed to switch the c-keys

I honestly can see no reason not to implement this. As long as it is ghosted and disconnected.

I'd like to see it implemented mainly due to how a lot of people get chosen to be a larva, instantly ghost out and now we have a few sleeping larva for an eternity which could've been active players helping out the war effort. It takes awhile to find a human/monkey, infect it, nest it and let it hatch and it's a real disappointment that not only its a wasted effort but the admins don't seem to punish that either.

It's mainly survivors or marines who are fed up of aliens.

EDIT: i can understand survivors doing it as it's coming from their character and well most of the time aliens have around 5-6 unhatched monkeys when a survivor pops so it most make such a big impact.On another survivors normally get rushed anyway so.. yeah.. there is that..

You can admin help to request to a staff to have an admin put you in your larva body. They'll be more than happy to do that. It's not admin abusing or anything illegal. We have the powers to do this now. But, this wouldn't hurt to add.
