When Carriers die the hungers come out.

Post by DeadLantern » 23 Jul 2016, 13:48

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): If a carrier dies, all of their faechuggers come scurrying out, either becoming NPCs and going for the nearest host, or them being launched a couple of tiles away.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Makes Carriers way more great at offense and making them a bit more realistic.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): ( I don't really know what this means so um... )

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): The mess of coding that is dream seeker. (Trust me, I know, it's trash.)

Suicide mechanics aren't great, and I don't believe carriers need a buff.

If they are shot enough to die the huggers inside are probably shredded.

I don't see a problem. The game we ported carriers from had this as a possible upgrade mechanic, so maybe only for higher ranked carriers?

This sounds pretty good. Maybe not all huggers should survive, but at least like 50-25% should be alive and dangerous. It won't encourage suicide tactics at all, more of a surprise for the marines that kill them.

Carrier hugger throwing isn't salty for you?

Let's crack up that saltiness with 6 huggers jumping at the faces of ANY who opposes to kill a Carrier!

Carriers are hard to balance around. I'm going to deny this until we either revamp hugger mechanics or carriers.
