Stop aliens dragging corpses or heads

Post by Xenomorph Dominatrix » 16 Apr 2016, 04:07

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Stop aliens being able to pull or grab corpses or heads

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
As everyone knows, I like to play alien too, this is definitely not an attack on aliens. This would stop the metagaming dicks who, when one of the few staff that isn't always playing a marine (gentlefood/grypho/matchafrappe) isn't observing, drag corpses away from the front-lines so hide them so marines can't get past them to their bodies for cloning.

(Would also stop the "I didn't know it was a corpse" thing of devouring corpses as well)

So, stop dragging EXACTLY already dead marines, right? If yes, then I'm totally +1. There is no interest for aliens in dead bodies at all.

+1. Aliens shouldn't be touching dead bodies or heads at all, period. For no reason at all.

Dude this is important for round start. Do you know those nests with colonies in them. We need the pull option so we can take those shits off and replace them with monkeys. -1

There are few things as salt inducing as dying just outside the FoB then having your body dragged off for reasons unknown to even the alien.

+1.The only argument I've heard against this is that they are "removing light sources" which we all know is wrong. This would stop xenos from killing marines as if they can't move them they won't want to "create light sources" as dead bodies do.

Except we actually are removing light sources. It'd be cool if the flashlight would just die if you died, but.

We both know the main reasons they're moved are for cloning. And last I checked heads don't have lights.

If this is implemented, make it so that lights flicker off some time after death (someone else's suggestion but I can't remember who atm).

Neutral.

From my personal expierence, if you eat someone who's just using a flashlight, and spit them out, they have to re-engage teh flashlight for it to work. So if they don't have their torso one on, that's a potential way to remove light sources I suppose.

+1. The only thing xenos should be able to do with corpses is unbuckle them so the next chucklefuck can get strapped to a bed and die painfully.

Though it does make hive cleanup a pain. Maybe make it so that only drones and queens can drag dead bodies, and slap a ban on them if they do it outside the hive.

If your suggestion gets through, all xenos will be banned and it will only be 40+ marines vs at the most, 2 xenos. This may be hyperbole, but I don't care.

They should be able to drag the bodies outside of the hive or put them in a pile, but shouldn't be able to hide them.

I'll admit. I have dragged dead bodies away from where I'm assulting at. But usually just a bit off screen. They are usually still locate blessed when I'm done.

Dragging bodies are okay within reason.

Dragging and rules on dragging have been reworked. I believe this is resolved.
