What do you mean *they* cut the power!?

[DeadLantern]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Xenomorphs can cut wires that are not under floor tiles or girilles.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Immersion, lore, and it will be much easier to turn off the power by cutting some wires in the power station, forcing marines to get out of their little FOB that they are camping in and fix the power, lest they want to fight in the dark.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
The xenos can click wires that they can see and they'll come off. They can not do this under floor tiles or grilles, even with alt clicking. (They'd get the message "You can't do that, the Girille is in the way!")
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Use the wire cutter code and put it on the Xenos so when they touch the wire, the bolt cutter's execution activates.


Also they can not slash apcs

+1 if they take damage when cutting live wires.
-1 if they don't take damage.

I mean they slash APCs anyway. And taking out a APC MORE OR LESS is more effective than just cutting a wire.

[Snypehunter007]

-1, Xenos already effectively cut off power if they slash an APC.

Imagine having to rewire an entire cord of wiring if the xenos had enough time to cut it all.

For some reason I did not include this



X E N O S C A N N O T S L A S H APCS NOW

For some reason I did not include this



X E N O S C A N N O T S L A S H APCS NOW

Yeah, still a -1 from me.

If your a queen, you can just force your xenos to do a suicide rush with runners and a spitter or two and have them acid down important equipment / slash an APC.

Plus, electric grilles shock and do a lot of damage to xenos, but cutting a live wire wouldn't?

And removing xenos ability to slash APCs is pretty bad to be honest, its one of their main methods of screwing off marines.

-1.
HARD -1.
I can make the Sully's electrical system unfixable barring admin involvement easily with this. Or planetside. Not gonna say how.

[MrJJJ]

-1
Sorry, but NO, this will be sooooooo ridiclously easy to just destroy power, especially if you get on Sulaco, you won't even have to fight

[Eenkogneeto]

Powernets get fucked if you cut them so hard -1

[Snypehunter007]

Denied.

This would cause some major problems with rewiring to fix this, there is a reason that very little wiring is exposed and the xenos can slash APCs.
