planetary xeno ert,

[Siserith Vassada]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):for when the xenos occastionnaly get utterly fucked, when theres four or less xenos the queen can press a button in her tab to contact the empress for help, then somthing happens and a bunch of xenos land on the planet/xenos get some kind of buff.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):occasionally theres the round where the planets align and the marines utterly fuck the xenos this can help with that,

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):queen has button, if less than four xeno queen press button, empress send pod of xeno to plenet

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

I have a few issues with this.

1) How would the Empress send a pod? Although the Aliens are intelligent, and capable of learning, and tactics, as well as advanced tactical moves (see the "They cut the power" scene from Aliens), I don't think they could be sophisticated enough to take a pod, then load it with xenos, and send it to another hive's location.

2) I understand where you're coming from, but my next issue is, How would the Queen contact the Empress? I doubt two hives would be on the same planet, and if they were, I doubt they'd be close enough to send aid to each other, as if they were, it would cause population problems for each hive, and they might be forced to "fight" for hosts.

3) As you said, marines only sometimes utterly destroy the aliens, I haven't seen it happen often enough to warrant the xenos having the ability to call for help. Besides, if they could call for help, any time a hive was being destroyed, they could just call another hive to replace it. Like in Aliens, when Ripley was going to town, The Queen coulda just called another hive to her.

All in all, I dislike this idea, so I'm going to -1.

My thoughts on this.

1. Instead of the empress, it would most likely be a queen mother of sorts, since most hives are just an extension of a queen mothers uber hive, and they're bale to contact said hive on speed dial from pretty much anywhere.

2. Instead of a pod, I think it would make more sense for more xeno's to 'wake up' from underground, but be special tiered xeno's like a pralatine perhaps? On the LZ map, we pretty much have the lore we dug something up we shouldn't have.

3. Would the marines get any sort of warning for this, since aliens can hear the ERT arrival?

Denied.

Xenos don't have FTL travel abilities. They are only on the planet, because the predators put them there a LONG-ASS time ago.
