Membranes

[Whistle]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Alter membranes to allow access to Xeno only, doors that do not open or close, that xeno merely steps in and through.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Membranes being used.
Less doors limiting movement in the hive.
New hive structures.
Doors will remain in use for the transportation/confinement of hosts.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It blocks passage for anything not xeno. Health and Transparency remains the same, unless you want a coming out of the wall effect in which case change to a resin wall similiar sprite.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Unsure how coding would work.

THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THE WINDOWS

[Sarah_U.]

I actually use membrane. Great way to show nests and jelly room. I avoid using them in the forward areas because... Doors & Membrane on the front aren't a thing. They're an hindrance.

IT'S INSIDE THE WINDOW.
IT'S INSIDE THE WALL.
IT'S INSIDE MY STOMACH!... Really I need to stop eating xenoburgers.

[Wickedtemp]

I mean, we need to do SOMETHING with membranes so they have a better use than "Tou can see through it."

[TeDGamer]

If you can use membranes what's the point of doors? Can't you just devour the human and then bring them in that way?

Don't they have like the same amount of health?

[SnipeDragon]

If something like this were to be implemented, I think that membranes should have a movement penalty when moving through them. It should slow you down by a few seconds longer than a normal door.

Then what's the point of fucking membranes, then? Doors will be faster, and will take more hits. Membranes die in only a few. That would be even more fecking useless than they are now, Snipe.

+1, because jaysus, let's have a reason to use these damn things.

because then what's the point of fucking doors? as said above, you'll just devour a guy and rush through the membranes, and if the marines attack they'll just shoot the same membranes avoiding the doors.

neutral, leaning toward -1 but mostly neutral because literally nobody uses membranes for obvious reasons. unless you're sarah :^)

Someone made a post about allowing the alien spit passing through resin

[Surrealistik]

Membranes badly need a purpose. Alien spit, but not Boiler ass blasts passing through them might be an idea. Alternately they could be simply made as tough as resin walls. Resin walls would still have a purpose because LoS blocking actually favours aliens more than marines as the former can see the latter through the walls.

Membranes are much weaker than doors, so they'll still be used for nests, and since devouring is pretty dangerous if the marine wakes up, doors will still remain a viable option. But membranes need a use. Otherwise, they may as well be deleted. Nobody uses them.

[TeDGamer]

Membranes don't need a purpose. They're there for the RP of building a hive where you can look at your nests. I don't see the need for this because there are other options for a reason.

[Snypehunter007]

Anyone still want this?

[Derpislav]

No. God no, please no. Not since spitters have gotten stronger. No.

[MrJJJ]

This seemed like a decent idea, now? eh...nah...-1, Praetorians and Spitters, along with boilers would fuck over so many people with this, it would not even be funny.

[Snypehunter007]

Old, lack of continued interest.

Locking.
