Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Ever wonder how the Predators manage to kidnap so many people for Hunter games? Well, this is how.
http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Netgun
It's a small pistol-like gun that launches a net to restrain prey, humans and xenomorphs alike.
Alongside the netgun, the Predator ship could be revamped to include a thunderdome-like arena of sorts, where prey could be sent by using the beacon on prey trapped within a net.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Enhance Predator roleplay, as they now have a non-lethal solution to capture prey and prepare them for honor duels, controlled hunting, or whatever they figure out.
Of course, Xenos and Marines would be able to resist out of the nets if they're left alone for long enough.
The Predator ship would see far more use with the Arena, though there would need to be some way to escape.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): See above.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): If I knew how to implement it I'd be coding it by now.

Re: Predator Netgun + Arena
Making a predator ship that captives get transported to prevents marines from dying, which means less ghosts for xenos.

In all seriousness, I like the idea, sure do it!

Re: Predator Netgun + Arena
What happens if a human wins onboard the ship? It just killed the one taking it captive, and there might not be other preds.

Then they can escape and teleport onto the ground somewhere

Re: Predator Netgun + Arena
I really like this idea. Predators should have a capture tool, and a netgun would be a great way to do so. However, I do have a few points to make in order to have it be viable and fair-ish.
1. No pullspeed reduction on netted targets.
2. (This is just a suggestion) you can switch modes on the netgun from "Detain" to "Constrict" and it fires a net that does continual brute damage until broken out of.
3. The net's teleporter should require a few seconds to activate, AND as a feature I'd find particularly fun, potentially be able to send the victims to different locked rooms beside the arena, so you could possibly have Xenos fight humans without shredding them in the same room.
3b. Have several locked rooms with weapons in or outside them beside the arena.

If we did this, it would be its own gamemode.
Denied for now.
