Suggestion for aliens

[Triel Wolfblood]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Aliens getting disabled and for a while when tackling people who are allready down.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):Would make game more challenging but also more fun

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): When aliens get some marine tackled they keep spamming it when they are down. This could stun them for a while when they tackle a downed marine (they would trip mayby?) It would make aliens time their tackles instead of spamming like they are right now

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

[MrGabol100]

It'd actually make sense, you are trying to -Tackle- someone that's on the floor, that stands for jumping prone onto him.

Maybe a chance for a 3 second stun for aliens if they tackle people in downed status?

Like 25% Chance.

[Triel Wolfblood]

seems legit

[apophis775]

No. Tackling someone on the ground, is called "Grappling"...

[Triel Wolfblood]

what?

[Butterrobber202]

Bitch they have heavy ass tail just put that on the Marines back TA-DA

[MrGabol100]

Well, then if you "Grapple" someone, you are on the ground too! So this makes sense.

And Butterrobber, why are you supporting the tackle exploit for tackling someone on the getting up period? It's really not fair and we all know so, it's not even intended.

[Adjective]

There is no not fair about it. Tackles do not stack. An alien who is tackling a marine that is already down is doing little more than waste their own time and mouse.

>in the middle of a fight
>X TACKLES Y
>X gets stunned because of BYOND LAG/having to spamclick because most xeno tackles are shit

-1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 i'm a marine player and fuck this sound

[apophis775]

Xenos, can't retackle, if your not able to stand up.

And I've already adjusted the tackling.

[MrJJJ]

When you get tackled, there is a extra second before you get up, but it fucking allows you to still get tackled since this extra second is "getting up"

[UnknownMurder]

Apparently, JJJ is right.. You still can be tackled while on ground.

[MrGabol100]

The suggestion here is meant to put aliens down if they tackle someone on their extra second, that's a damned exploit, annoying AF and not intended in any way.

[Evilkyle24]

No. Just NO. Aliens cannot... NO!!! FUCK THIS SUGGESTION! ALL THE -1!

Do you EVEN REALIZE WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING!? Your character is standing back up after he gets tackled, it makes no sense for the alien flopping on top of you to not slow you down at all. Then we end up with a drone trying to get someone back into a nest because the hunters are out getting hosts, and he tackles the guy and immediately falls on his ass and the guy gets back up!

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

This is fucking stupid. If you're going to do this, at least give the aliens the option to PIN someone so they can't get up while the alien is on top of them. That would actually be useful. This is just stupid. It makes no sense, aliens are agile as shit and strong enough to dent steel plates with their HANDS, they shouldn't be immobilized when trying to tackle someone who can somehow get up in a literal second after being shoved on the ground by a giant alien.

[TopHatPenguin]

Fairly sure if you upgrade your grab to aggressive while carrying a human they can't move...

[Butterrobber202]

still -1

[apophis775]

No.

A compromise, is that I'll look into seeing about giving aliens a speed penalty when dragging, but in the movies, they grabbed them people really fast.
