Last Queens order visible to new larvae

Post by Dyne » 30 Aug 2015, 09:31

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Often new larvae have not heard (or prefer not to have heard) Queens orders.
I propose the last of the orders to be shown to the larvae on spawn.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Will help to coordinate aliens, avoid deaths, inform players, and, hopefully, improve that win:win ration some people are so salty about.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Its a bit like latest Captains message, new arrivals need to know whats going on.
Same system can be introduced to marine side as well, for them it will be latest announcement, and it can be saved in newscasters.
Bay has it in code, I believe.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Show one message to larvaes on birth. By code magic.

EDIT: Add this to the thought:

EDIT: And +1 to the main suggestion as well.

+1 When I'm playing as queen is really annoying repeat the same order again and accidentally confusing the hive with that order.

+1, would like to see this as it'd be useful and won't really hurt anything at all.
Cohen 'Double-F' Blyant Confirmed Combat Stats:
Intentional marine kills: 0
Friendly-fire kills: 2
Friendly-fire injuries: 9
Total aliens killed: 10
T3s killed: 2
Queens killed: 1
Times infected: Too many to count.
Deaths: See above.
Deaths by friendly-fire: 1

In case you couldn't tell, I'm pretty bad at this.

There's no way to improve the win:win ratio it will always be 1, but jokes aside I agree with this idea maybe make the orders like the marines objectives and when the larvae are spawned or the orders are changed they get the orders in big letters.

I really like this idea. But be able to set orders for each cast as well as a main order for the entire hive over all
