[Meta Rushing] Radio Interference Until 'x' Amount of Time

Post by Mitii » 06 Nov 2016, 13:07

This suggestion was created after reading TheSpoonyCroy's suggestion here: http://colonial-marines.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=9708

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Electromagnetic disturbance across the river on the colony that prevents any kind of radio usage until a set time period.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Meta-rushing will be stopped, if not, at least more controlled.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): If a marine chooses to cross the river way too early (meta-rushing) in the round to kill some Xenos, and gets captured, they will not be able to radio back their position to other players. Thus, preventing any sort of "rescue operation" and any further probing across the river until a certain time limit has been reached, where it will then be acceptable to cross the river.

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

+1 Yes, the meta-gaming has increased lately and it is horrible for both the xenos and the admins

How does this prevent xeno metarushes? I'd like something takes count for both sides of the dime.

No need to implement something new for the xenos since they already have a great tool to prevent meta rushing; the Queen. Not following the Queen's orders is already punishable which should in itself be a meta-rushing stopper.

However if the suggestion I'm putting on the table were to happen, then what's there to say that it can't be used for the xenos as well? Make it so that if xenos travel south of the river they experience hivemind interference.
