Replace large pod with multiple small drop pods

[Siserith Vassada]

CM Version (alpha or Regular):alpha

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):i think the single large pod should be replaced with at least single person drop pods that drop the marines scattered across the map

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): new insertion method

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): multiple pods would be placed in two long hallways. they are launched from the bridge of the sulaco. but cannot be redocked from the ground

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

In theory, interesting
In practice, this is going to get marines picked off
In single combat aliens are way better.

Then may I suggest the pods be designed to hold 2 or 3 marines? A pointman, a rifleman, and a specialist/medic/engineer/SL/support?

Would promote ramboing too much.

Good in theory But The amount of Rambo's is already too high

[Lostmixup]

Instead of the larger pods being replaced how about putting smaller one way pods on the sulaco along with the larger ones. This way marines won't be complaining nearly as much about one marine calling back the whole shuttle just to cart himself down because he just spawned a few minutes late.

[Tetsip]

Marines cannot interact with the shuttle anyways. Gotta be a officer last I checked.

Regardless, after further consideration this WOULD promote small-squad rambos. Shifting to -1

No, this would encourage ramboing. in reality, the drop-pod will eventualyl be one-way.

the plan would be, to drop reinforcements if the shuttle is compromised, not as another way for marines to drop.

[UnknownMurder]

Sounds like a drop pod from Planetside 2 where players eventually start being a lone wolf. Hell, I like being a lone wolf... But, I want to keep the squad and team together.

Denied.

but we are looking at a solution of sorts.
