Guaranteed Gib for Xenos When Killed by Fire

Post by completelynewguy » 15 Jan 2017, 02:53

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Per the title.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Now the server's a little bit closer to the actual lore.
Other theories include the possibility of the blood being a fluorocarbon or chlorofluorocarbon compound; this would serve to explain why Xenomorphs that have been set alight will sometimes explode violently, as fluorocarbons are incredibly reactive with fire.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
  • Possibly encourage usage of actual weapons than flamers.
    Possibly encourage restraint when using an incendiary grenade.
    Xeno gibs.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
  1. 1. Drag out xeno
    2. Set it on fire
    3. Have blast shields set up for personnel
    4. ?????
    5a. Profit?
    5b. Researcher throws a fit of rage?[

Not like the researcher is that important anyway.

In the lore, only runners have a super high chance of exploding to fire. Other xenos will be much less prone to that effect since their chitin remains a very strong organic exoskeleton with some carbon stuff in it if I recall.

All in all, if you increase the chance for runners only, sure. Otherwise, this suggestion gets my -1 in its current form. I know where it's coming from, but not interested.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

You can already make them explode if you set their corpse on fire for long enough.

-1

I really want a research overhaul and I feel like a change like this would directly conflict with that.
