[WIP] Pred-Alien Introduction (Includes test sprite!)

[KallMor]

I'm aware a few folks aren't interested in, if not completely appalled by, anything from the Alien vs Predator section of the lore but after several small discussions with other players on the server I decided to make a mock up sprite (32x32) inspired by the AVP2 model. Only part I'm happy with at the moment is the legs and head, I'm still working on the arms (and lack of tail) which I feel give it more of a ridgid feeling rather than the desired perspective of strength.





Summed up:
Spawned from baycode Predator, rarely spawned antag.
Same sized sprite as a Praetorian, but faster with less health.
Capable of impregnating hosts directly with 500 stored plasma. Can evolve to Queen (same difference as above, read: queen).

More drone-esque sprite, less Queen-crown.

i don't see the point of this suggestion...

[TopHatPenguin]

i'm gonna be against the predator as because the last time we had it was broken as fuck and marines would just drop their gun right in front of the predator so he wouldn't be able to kill them...

If that gets changed and the predator gets fixed I my change my mind but until then it's a no from me :/

"Spawned from baycode Predator"




That doesn't even exist. What is the point of this?

1 is this a suggestion?
2.the sprite is...meh....(no offence but i have seen better)
3 that impregnate feature...pretty sure you just took it from THAT ONE avp movie,wich doesnt allow any predalien caste to infect anyone,it was a queen caste i belive,as a predalien isnt a direct caste but a specific host evolution,and it could only infect pregnant humans(the power you suggested would remove any use of eggs,possibly if its backed by a hivelord and lore would be broken)

Why did you post this as a suggestion? We have already stated in the past that Predator will eventually be a thing. Just wait and give us some time.

.... You clearly don't get it.

This is a suggestion for Pred-Alien, the alien that borns from a predator, not the preadator itself.

It is a suggestion for normal Predaliens -and- queen predaliens.

No i'm pretty sure he gets it. We can't go ahead and add predaliens when there are no predators to begin with. Besides this caste being obnoxious, highly unlikely and probably unbalanced, there's the problem with predaliens existing when predators don't. It makes no sense.

I'll repeat it for him: Predators aren't added yet. We're focusing on everything else that needs to be sorted before that, and newbay, and maybe a while after ALL that is done we can start working on preds. This suggestion is too far ahead of itself. More still, it's a suggestion ... In the general thread. wtf

No, this should be in the suggestion forum if anything.

and I have WAY BETTER sprites already.
