Allow the Predators to skin captured prey

[UnKuT]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Allow a mechanism that makes the Predator able to skin its human prey and hang it from heights

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): This is one of the most famous traits of the Yautja, entirely canon as seen from the films. It would also serve as a good intimidation tactic for other prey, both RPly and literally.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): The Predator could do this to human prey still alive or dead, however the human prey must have been seen as honorable hunt by the Yautja's honor code. The Predator player could then do this anywhere as long as it had its victim subjugated, and was either a) Next to a tree, as in this case the victim would hang directly from said tree, b) Another similarly built and tall structure where the prey could also hang upside down from, or c) Inside a building or cave, as the skinned victim would hang from the ceiling, though I don't know if this last one would be possible to be made due to ingame limitations. In both cases the process would take quite a lot of time, I would suggest twenty seconds at least, as to force the Predator to be in a safe area first before starting to do this.

I don't think having a rope should be a concern for the player and that IG it would just assume that the Yautja in question had the rope with him at all times, rather than forcing the player to actually find a cable coil or something as this would prove quite bothersome and lower the player's wish to do this.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Combined with what I stated above, three sprites would need to be made: one for the fully skinned human, for after the process is done; the same fully skinned sprite, though hanging upside down from the tree or ceiling, and a "half-skinned" sprite of sorts for when the Predator player is interrupted during this process. The latter half-skinned player, if he was still alive when the process started, could even still be alive, though in a critical state of health and urgently needing medical attention.

I'd like to see this, actually. However it may be easier to hang the body from a wall rather than a tree or a height, due to in-game limitations. +1

[UnKuT]

Yes, that would be fine too.

[Steelpoint]

I think lore wise Predators skinned prey that were not worthy enough to take a trophy from, whereas those that were honorable or good prey usually had their skull kept.

[UnKuT]

Well according to the wiki it's the other way around, plus in the first movie armed soldiers that were considered quite capable were also skinned by the Predator; it is safe to assume they were considered good hunt by him.

Would be creepy as fuck to walk into an area and see a bunch of dead people hanging off the ceiling

Although skinning is done to prey seen as LESS honorable. They decap their best kills.

We can butcher marine's right now and it give's us "Human Skin" but it's pointless.

I never butcher any marine's simply because I like to give them a chance to get cloned.

A marine would rarely be seen as honorable, since it fights with guns and more than likely in a squad.

According to which wiki?

Well i found this http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Flaying_(skinning) and i quote from it "Skinned victims are usually those who were considered easy prey by a Predator."

FEAR TACTICS!

[TopHatPenguin]

+1 we need more horror aspects in-game and this could solve that.

[UnknownMurder]

...Hanged prisoners on the wall...
Torturing and skinning one by one...
I can imagine this.

Weeelll my bad then, I should've read it better x)

Though now I'll be guessing some players will get salty at how the Predator just basically called them noobs in the most gory way possible.

[YummyToast]

I was actually considering suggesting this for awhile but was too lazy. I highly approve of this. Maybe make it where skinned can't be cloned? That way you arent rehunting kills.

[Dyne]

Cant they do it now? Or is it only meat butchered currently? I'm pretty sure I saw human skins by pred made.

+1. A actual reason to skin the dis-honorable scumbag humans other than 'lel u no can clone now' would be interestig to see as a marine and to RP a reaction too.
