Add clues IG as to the origin of the infestation

[UnKuT]

I guess bump for importance?

I would love it if each of the three survivors spawn with a clue as to what is going on, something they can pass onto the marines when they are found. Perhaps have those clues lead to some of the more important lore locations around the map that might be missed otherwise.

+1 from me.

In all probability, Weyland-Yutani probably had this colony made here because they heard that strange creatures had been spotted once upon a time on it, and they were hoping they could lure them out with a colony of fresh hosts, which then succeeded.

It'd be fun to write something up though. Lore is honestly my favorite thing for Alien related things, and the lack of lore on the wiki makes Xander sad

One clue is facehuggers in the science dome, might add more research papers.

We are working on some lore.

Is this still being worked on? as I love as a SL or soldier.... looking around for clues as to what the hell happaned here... checking bookcases, notes, bodies... it adds to atmosphere and RP.

There are some clues already IG. Well the only place i've found some clues at least is on this http://i.imgur.com/d9icYYW.png notice board. It has a few developments about the colony.

So there are some IG clues but those ones have been in for quite abit of time, now.

It doesn't really helps us. If you just give to Commander. They'll just make a big deal out of it and arrest the CL. Also, there is another clue. On the planet, you have access to Security and Medical records. You can pin it on whoever is behind this. But, it is highly not a good idea. It is still unknown to me that either is it a bug nor a bug. I'm not filing a report because I cannot tell a difference between a bug and intentional nowadays.
I'd just ignore them. It'll just create more trouble than it already has to be on Sulaco.

These clues made my life quite difficult as a CL once. I was forced to burn all of them as a cover up. Still it would be nice to see more.

More clues would mean that there have to be rules on what survivors know. Right now you can sometimes get the whole story through radio before leaving briefing at which point it's just "alright, let's kill them aliens" because a survivor knows everything about how the infection started, spread, etc. More clues would be kinda useless in that case since as soon as you discover xenomorphs and huggers you basically know the survivors were right.

Actually, we've got a "Lore team", I'll propose this to them when they finish their current project.

I still have a problem with this whole in-game lore thing. I feel that adding it will take away the freedom that the survivors have to create their own ideas as to what happened to the colony. I know this has already been accepted but still, will the freedom of the survivors being able to generate a backstory be retained?
