An "Instaburst" option for nested, infected marines
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): A new command usable by nested, infected humans. Using it would instantly mature and burst the larva growing inside you.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Could be used by humans not wanting/expecting a rescue. This would save time for both humans(waiting for the larva to burst) and aliens(watching over the waiting humans).
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Click the button and boom, new larva's born.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): ...

One on hand, OMFG YES NO MORE WAITING 10000000000000 BILLION CENTRUIES
On the other, this does kind of allow the aliens to get REALLY big reinforcements easily...

Moses could lead the Jews to the promised land faster than it currently takes for someone to burst from a facehugger.

You have a Ghost verb. It does the same thing without the insta burst part.

If you ghost while alive you can't re-enter corpse on the off chance you get cloned though. So. +1

No. It will encourage marines, who want to be alien, wander off straight to hive to become alien as sson as possible. Aliens will have big numbers more quickly, than in current rounds, it will change balance greatly.

Re: An "Instaburst" option for nested, infected marines
I don't think this is a good idea - other players who died have been waiting for a Xeno to control for a while, I don't think it's fair for infected marines to jump the queue.
Not only this, but it very quickly changes the player's agency - one second you're fighting for one side, only for this to be switched a frame later.

I could see griefers and players just wishing to play xeno abusing this really hard.

Yeah, this is completely unnecessary when ghost already exists.

Please don't post unless you have very relevant information that would warrant the lock not being applied.Snypehunter007 wrote:

Ghost does the same thing. Not sure if it's really important to have another verb. Denied.
