Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
Read the title. I get if it is a combat zone and it is a threat, but a lone runner/drone is not a threat, just drag it and blast it back into crit if it gets back up.

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
Not stealing it, just restating. And it depends on how much health they have left(based on my experience).

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
It's crit as well.
By resting, you might be thinking about when they tackle/slash you when they're resting, which I think was removed.

Oh. I think that researchers should be able to make cages and stuff you capture xenos in the field and other stuff like that. And thanks for informing me.TheDonkified wrote: ↑21 May 2018, 13:39It's crit as well.

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
We should change that then. If a Xeno is in crit and a marine is nearby without Xenos nearby, then that xeno is almost a certainly dead. If marines could drag that Xeno off there could be some neat RP with researchers, and the CL, and more of the ship side roles. The Xeno could also break out, or become corrupted or just die from something the researchers did. Not only is there some more RP you also keep that Xeno player in the round, instead of him having to ghost.

Marines could easily use it in combat and quickly grab a crit xeno before a runner can save it.

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
Exactly. Researcher needs some things to do gameplay wise, instead of gathering dead xenos and occasionally getting some eggs.Sulaboy wrote: ↑21 May 2018, 13:44We should change that then.

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
At this point we can have it so that xenos cannot bleed or whatever in the cage, maybe even having fake weeds so they can heal, or just acting like a statis bag.Butlerblock wrote: ↑21 May 2018, 13:46Marines could easily use it in combat and quickly grab a crit xeno before a runner can save it.

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
But if they do get up, then they will probably get rekt from the hurricane of pulse rifle ammo, or just escape. It would just be easier to kill it if you want to win. attempting to capture would just take a lot of manpower to guard and it is risky to have it escape before it is in containment.

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
As a marine, I could easily shoot that Xeno if I could grab it, and if that was such a problem the runner could still grab the Xeno out of a marine's hands. If the guy is one space away from the Xeno that's usually certain death for a Xeno. Dragging that Xeno away would end up giving it a chance at life in a research pen. I also don't see how this could easily be used in combat.Butlerblock wrote: ↑21 May 2018, 13:46Marines could easily use it in combat and quickly grab a crit xeno before a runner can save it.

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
You are an unga fighting weird ass alien lizards on a foreign world. By the time you have one in crit you could drag they have already killed and dragged many of your comrades to a screaming death.
So you give it one more buckshot spray to make sure its dead.
Capturing should be a job for briefed and prepared WY teams especially deathsquad since PMC's are just dudes hired for a job if I understand correctly.
It would be cool if the CL could once in a while complain over fax that ungas are killing the precious beno butterflies requesting WY people to get some alive. They could also have some sort of stun spec for this.

Re: Why do marines never capture crit xenos?
I am talking about cages and/or traps, and if the zone is hot and other xenos are around I don´t expect any mercy to be given. But if a drone or whatever is snooping around and you blap them with some shells, they have to be critted before they can be killed, so why shot them instead of dropping a cage on them? It saves ammo and adds to muh RP.Fcanau wrote: ↑21 May 2018, 14:07You are an unga fighting weird ass alien lizards on a foreign world.
