Allow xenos to place human bodies under the shuttle

[mullvad]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Unwritten rules are the worst thing ever, now that cloning has been removed there is no real need for dead bodies to be preserved, i propose we allow xeno players to put people on the landing pads once they see a medic use a defib to revive someone.

If this is still unwanted, i propose we seek a solution to prevent this, as these kinds of unwritten rules are not 'noob' friendly

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Less unwritten rules

You know theres probably a code reason/lag reason for that so thats probably why YOU SHOULDNT PUT THEM THERE.

[Karmac]

How is this logical at all in the mind of a xenomorph? And if you're in a situation to be able to drag marine corpses under the shuttle, that means they've probably lost the place near said shuttle, meaning the bodies won't be defibbed anyway. Thus ruining the purpose behind gibbing them with the shuttle.

They basically gib on impact, with the recent changes to how deletion works this should not be an issue.

No. There's no practical reason (read: IC) to gib the marines corpses and there's situations were allowing this to happen could get a fuckton of bodies ripe for some defib action just destroyed. For example: marines losing LZ1 and getting the xeno dong, while two or three minutes later the Rasp lands with reinforcements and some medics, crushing dozen marines bodies because lol we're xenos we can be randumb.

If you want to be a meta cuck, just nag the queen to gib the bodies. But having an easy way of gibbing 20+ marines at once is a big no-no and what the fuck are you thinking.

Absolutely not. Xeno wouldn't and DO NOT need to crush bodies under the drop ships and they wouldn't need to do it for any reason besides being dicks. You know what this would cause? Survivors' bodies being disposed of for no reason other than to have prevent them from being cloned. Marines being unable to recover their SLs bodies when there's an assault going on and even more xenos dying as a result of the dropship falling on them.

That's like letting Marines shoot the Cargo staff for not giving them an attachment, something that will lead more griefing because of the fact it's okay in one department for one small reason, so it might just be okay in other departments. Like flooding the ship with phoron as an MT or killing MPs for arresting your friend. The latter can be easily fabricated and cause even more havoc for Marines.

Just. Just NO! -1

Cloning is no longer in the game.

This, and the fact that unwritten rules are the worst, i don't see why this would be a bad thing

Xenos have no reason to destroy bodies like that.

[apophis775]

What? Fucking no. That's incredibly stupid. And what do you mean unwritten rules? Destruction of the bodies falls under Powergaming.

Wait, aren't you applying for dev or staff? I swear i saw your name pop up somewhere...

I fully agree that this suggestion might have been a stupid move on my side, and i fully regret it, but i still fail to see as to why this would be a powergaming thing, during the round xenos would observe humans use the defib to bring dead bodies back to life, so it would obviously be better for them to destroy and/or hide any dead bodies to ensure they stay dead no?

Also to answer you question on the Development side of things, yes i applied as a Developer a while ago and I'm waiting on a reply from /N i would love to contribute towards CM with my knowledge of DM and other programming languages.
