allow dead survivors to join USCM

Post by Nicboone » 01 Apr 2017, 15:48

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

Allow dead survivors [especially those early game] to join under a different character for marines midgame

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

Makes the game more fun for survivors who died before getting help.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Survivors would be allowed to return to lobby to join marines- this would only apply to them the one time- after they die as a marine they get the same options as everyone else. Removes this respawn as uscm option after 45 minutes-1 hr as they should have been rescured or have comitted to the role by then. Especially in the normal gamemode [where there are survivors] this could be really beneficial to the players who feel robbed early.

The big drawback argument of this would just be to join as xeno- you arent wrong, but what happens if no xenos are available?

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

No idea, but it seems like a buttom that could be found in the ghost tab?

+1, you can always check if the survivor have entered the rasp or pod and disable their respawn if they did so while alive.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

+ 1

Hugger combat cucks even the best of survivors early on, so being able to respawn would make it not such a bad role just because literally the entire hive wants to kill you (and thats not as rare as you think).

That would essentially give survivors another life, which is not what we want. Survivor is like any other role, and you do not get to come back when you die. It would only encourage suicide tactics, and is against the spirit of the game. Denied.
