Higher Queen Tiers

[13gome0220]

Summary: The queen basically has two more tiers. In alien lore, there is an empress and a queen mother.

Benefits:It gives aliens more variety and makes the queens more realistic.

Details: Make the sprites so that the eggs can be more easily seen

Implementation Each hour the Queen can evolve into a higher tier and give it more abilities. For example in the second hour the Queen evolves into a Empress which gives her more plasma to lay eggs and durability but slower plasma regeneration. The Empress also gains the charge ability like the Ravager. In the third hour, Empress can evolve into a Queen Mother, giving her the ability to merge with the resin (basically turn her completely invisible) for 20 or 15 seconds (5 minute cool down). Queen Mother can also telepathically attack marines with an ability called "Nightmare", it causes the targeted marine to start hearing thing gun shots and starts to hallucinate ONLY nearby marines shooting at him (20 or 10 minute cool down). To balance the Queen Mother, she CAN'T WALK due to her MASSIVE SIZE OF HER EGG SACK (She can remotely view any alien in the hive.) and it would take her longer to regenerate plasma (longer than empress), her health is slower to regenerate than any other castes. To deal with laying eggs she would only lay eggs near her 3 or 5 tiles away.

...Let's not do that. Sorry, I'm opposed. Empress has been removed from the ALPHA.

I'm neutral but leaning towards no. Two big issues I see with this are. 1. The aliens are already plenty strong, when I play more often than not aliens win. 2. If the queen becomes immobile then aliens cannot attack Sulaco at all. This leads to a potential stalemate/long dragged out round/etc.

..your serious? I like your spunk but.. No.. I'm not sure this spells out any good.

If you were to do this you would have to add the egg sac to try to at least balance it out a bit, so no but this isn't really needed.

Denied.

Maybe for events, but generally NOPE.
