Blob-like global queen-vision

Post by Sarah_U. » 10 Jan 2017, 16:10

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Allow the queen to have a blob-like vision of her minions.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Would allow the queen to strategize and see more.
Would be pretty neat in general.
That would make scouts and such much more viable and useful.
Good queens could shine in strategic making and scold those acting stupidly at times.
QoL improvement.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Like the blob on SS13, allow the queen to jump her sight to minions so that she can track and follow them around.
The ability could work like camera view, but it's up to developpers how this should work.
Staying in that stance strains the supply of plasma of the queen and reduce it by her first age's regen (Thus forcing her to be on weeds when she's not elite+ yet)

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A]
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

i think this would be a great idea, especially when my xeno's don't know how to navigate on the new map

I actually thought about it before, and i agree with you completely. I also made a suggestion to give queen long range sight for easier management of xenos and easier control over battle field.
Queen stats since registration date.
Queen rounds played: 5. Queen rounds won: 5. Died but ended with xeno major victory: 0 Upgraded to ancient queen: 1

+1, has in-lore and in-game sense. Also prevents Ayy's from being dumb or disobeying as often.

I Am thinking now about every single Xeno being Capable of doing That,not only the Queen.Why?Because of The Hivemind.If xenos could see the Visions of other Xenos,that would be Extremely neat,and,maybe,Even increase Xeno RP[That almost don't exist].Still,That could be a Bit...OP.

Only as OP as a hive that actually communicates is OP

I limited it to the queen to limit the ability. If it was every xenos it'd be OP, especially since most of them work by screech and mental directives. (The queen tells them information, but as seen in AvP 2010 they don't know what's happening around them, outside of what they're informed).

This would make Communication Easier,meaning that Xenos wouldn't need to put Much effort In communicating.Also,every hive communicates,Unless every single Xeno Is a baldie.

Just to remember,COMMUNICATING IS,what makes marines fuck Up and Losse the game.Xenos know what Is happening and who or what Is located,Diferent from marines, that,sometimes,don't even Know where they Comrades are even located.

I've seen this suggestion before. Duplicate.
