Egg Manipulation

[Sarah_U.]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Allow for the eggs to be moved around.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
-> Extremely lore friendly, potentially move it up to a non-hugger system where eggs are the way xenos work rather than using huggers.
-> Allows for traps, more strategy and tactics, as well as give non-hunting castes some work.
-> Potentially allows for marines to have synths and infected bring eggs for research!
-> Could open the path to an eggsack system where the queen can grow eggs and the xenos attend to move them around, etc etc.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
A queen lays eggs, someone comes close, if he/she/it doesn't trigger the hugger he/she/it may pull the egg around.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A]

+1 it'd be a great way for moving the 500 unused eggs in the nest to the front. Also, if you remove castes except carriers carrying hugs in the future imagine all the runners toting eggs all over the map

For the marine thing maybe make a 'secure egg' mechanic for drone/hivelord/carrier/Queen that's relatively quick so marines have to do some time consuming bs to steal mah eggs

[Sarah_U.]

There's a mission within Alien VS Predator: Extinction where marines use synthetics with egg encapsulation devices to emprison some eggs for study. There, they use the devices to trap them inside and allows for Wayland to have free specimens.

Some of the idea comes from this. The game doesn't impede on your movement yet allows for quite a bunch of mechanics like drones having spit that creates better xenos, etc.

+1. It's well explained, and my god it sounds fun.
