Crusher Stomp

[Biolock]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
So recently I've been playing with crushers a lot more, and I realized something that started to bother me a little bit. The crusher's stomp doesn't do any damage to someone trapped underneath them, and I find that to be a total misnomer. I suggest that the crusher stomp deliver significant damage to someone who's unfortunate enough to be trapped under the crusher's feet.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It would further promote the massive power that the crusher should have, it's stomp crushing those below it. It is a freight train, it damages people it runs over, it should critically wound those it rears its front legs over and plows down on.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
I think that the crusher stomp should give anywhere from 25-100 damage to anyone it is used on top of to a random part of the body. I personally think it should be on the higher end, since the crusher stomp would seldom be used on top of a marine, and it makes sense for it to be bone shattering. I think, obviously, the stomp's damage should scale with the age of the crusher.

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

+1 if you add a cake recipe in instead of coding for implentation

-1 at least until frag grenade or any SADAR rocket which was thrown/fired at the same tile as xeno's actual location will instagib some or all t1 and t2 aluems.

That's a strange criteria. What makes that the tipping point for you? It's not overly beneficial to the xenos, or the crusher in this case, just a little niche.

Absolutely not, aluems already strong enough and if you want to add some kind of aaayyyys buff, be kind to bring equal debuff or buff(s) to marines. Whole point already being stated by YungCuz, theres just to many ways to abuse this option, especially vs small squad w\o AP bullets, fire slugs or spec's weapons.

One crusher already can move in and out of room full of both marines and sentries unharmed or at least not very harmed, and with more dangerous stomp, supported by few fast or ranged xenos he'll be able to rush into room and put in crit any hugged or stunned marine while killing any critted one with a huge chance. Nothing will prevent crusher(s) to abuse this feature by picking marines one by one, crippling\killing one each time and than return to safe spot for an ability recharge.

I can approve this idea only if crushers will receive some debuff as well, for example temp stun or heavy speed debuff after using ability or a 25\50% damage increase for all marines for a few seconds (pretending hes undefended body parts such as belly will be wide open for attacks).

In order for a crusher to be on TOP of a marine, wouldn't he have to be stunned somehow already?
