Add another alien rule stating to not dismember/behead dead marine bodies

Post by HalfdeadKiller » 27 Nov 2015, 03:48

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Add or Add on to the alien eating bodies rule to prevent cloning. Basically state that aliens decapitating/dismembering dead bodies isn't allowed, as I see it happen a lot, and its not so much the dismembering that bothers me, so much as it is the random decapitation of the dead.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Well, if a marine is able to retrieve your body, he won't have to search around for the head either. This'll also help cloning as you don't have to put the head back on to clone them. I also don't see much of an IC alien reason to randomly cut the limbs and heads off of dead marines.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Pretty much the Summary

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

Xenos enjoy dismantling marine bodies, and as long as they aren't devouring or running off with the heads I don't see the problem.

Most xenos aim for the head anyway when they intend to kill, and the difference between killing and decapitating is only a few clicks.

Toroic,he means POST death,most of the time xenos would likely ignore dead bodies,combat decaps are pretty much legit,but decapitating after dying seems...random,a queen gut or such would probably be fine,but most of the times that i also see xenos decap,they melt the heads..

+0 for now.

I don't care if they decapitate a living body, its when they specifically go to dead ones, and slash the heads off. It makes retrieving the body for cloning so much more difficult. And the dismembering I don't really care much about, but I figured that I'd throw it in there because it lacks an IC reason in my opinion. Usually if a living marine is decapitated, their head and body is near other marines, and is hopefully easier to retrieve.

I don't feel like beheading is a problem. If anything, that can make it easier as you just need the head and a suitable replacement body (there should be dead people in the morgue you can use)

Already a thing, codewise.
