Admiral Hivemind.

Post by Whistle » 17 Jul 2016, 15:38

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Like the suggested Admiral to oversee the marines team requiring whitelisting, give xeno an AI like entity to do the same
They will be able to observe the game through other xeno eyes allowing a hive mind coordination.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Allows for easier policing, mentoring and coordination of xeno players.

Allows a more commanding view of the situation to advise the queen much akin to the bridge crew informing the CO. As the queen is supposedly able to see through the eyes of her children, it would be able to bridge the gap.
Allows for xeno to know more about what befell their sisters, if one dies to a mine the hivemind can warn the others, if they see a fuel tank used as a bomb, they can warn them in future events.
Xeno do learn, xeno are a hivemind, currently they are players just having at, with little coordination, the queen can only do soo much.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
As stated above.

Optional: can see infected hosts as if they were blind, essentially only that mob and the tile they are on.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
New job slot that can view what xeno see, communicate via hivemind and directly to the observed xeno.

I kind of like the idea but I'm just not sure of it right now so Neutral

Neutral for now, having xeno cams would pribably cause lag and even young runners have time in crit to say they tripped a mine.

Part of the xeno balance is a hivemind and the ability to easily communicate. If xenos are not using that to their advantage then they deserve to suffer for it.

No support and invalid suggestion due to the dissolution of the Admiral position idea.
