Survivor Stuff

[killinkyle]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Give Survivors more spawn locations, more locations to get supplies and loot.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Runners don't instant rush towards the three survivor spawns and tackle+swallow you before you can even move out of your spawn, and survivors don't rush for security

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Add more locations to spawn as survivor, preferably more favorable ones. Spawn us on top of a locker to hide in, or in some nestled area with some gear. If we're robust survivors, then clearly we should have been able to make some form of a hold out, right? Perhaps random buildings with basic, crappy fortifactions, with some homemade weapons or some simple guns.

For added benefit, you could make the survivor start more injured, so while turtling is something they can do, they might not survive until the marines make it back. This means they have to go out to the medidome or other areas where medical supplies are dropped to gather resources to survive- Which would obviously be danger points. Perhaps make survivors horribly hungry, so they have to go scavenge food? The ideas are endless. In the end, what this means is there's less rushing on both sides for the supply ship, the science/stooge dome/engineering/security, and more varied play.



Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Mapping efforts and what not.

Also, survivor goals would be nice. Mementos or something they need to gather from around the planet. Optional, but just some flavor fun.

Jokes aside about you being salty a young runner captured two survivors before they got weapons because they didnt think to crowbar their way out
+1
Also +1 for some fluffy goals for them. Something to give them something to work into their story would be neat too, Like being one of the people WY trusted with the truth about the operation

not relevant, but cant crowbar out, Runner has to knock you over once with the crowbar in hand, then swallow you. You can't use the flashlight to escape.

m8, keep crowbar in your pocket specifically to burst out, Dont try to crowbar a runner who only has to click you once to death

Even with or without crowbar, you generally get nested before you wake up.
I've been survivor-rushed by runners a lot in the last months and it lowered my initiative to become survivor by a LOT.

The salt that spawned this thread was specifically about being devoured by runners /before/ huggers even spawned, they had to try and punch their way out and were obviously unable to.

That said, your reasons are the reasons i turned survivor off, its just delayed ayy half the time and extended boredom the other half.

There's not even a reason for the xenos to go after the survivors, since they are only 3 and there is more than 10+ monkeys in the map, runners that meta-rush are VERY annoying, but most of the time they don't bring any huggers with them, so if you are robust, just kill that asshole right away +1

IC theres not much reason, But OOC you really need to if you dont want marines to instantly learn about huggers and shit
God help you if the survivors grab a station bounced radio or headset

Old, lack of continued interest.
