Add honors to Xenos

Post by Tristan63 » 17 Oct 2016, 12:12

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): The queen can give honors to her children for doing good deeds. Honors would be small cosmetic items or name adjustments that would make the xeno stand out, or possibly be a senior caste member. The honors could be for instance a name change for doing well in combat, she could change Mature Runner (351) to Zealous Runner (351). Or if a Praetorian took a sniper bullet for the queen the queen could give Young Praetorian (1337) a honor of Favored Praetorian (1337). This would make doing good things worthwhile and satisfactory for xenos, so long as the Queen is willing to give any out. I also know making it cosmetic would be difficult. Note these are cosmetically and wont have an actual effect on gameplay.

A list of possible honors that can be given and their meanings.
Favored: The queen favors this xeno for their good deeds
Zealous: They are adept and well in combat
Headstrong: They are willed to serve no one but themselves
Iron will: They saw their kin die, and refused to give up
Thick skinned: They can get hit with anything and wont die
Honorable: They show honor to their kin and enemies
Kind: They couldn't hurt a fly..or can they?
Fast: Damn this is every runner out there
Sly: They are good at stealthing
MVX: Most valuable xeno
Blooded: They know combat, and are good at it
Stubborn: They wont give ground under any circumstances




Benefits: Gives some satisfaction to xenos who do good deeds, like marine medals and promotions.

Details: The queen would go up next to a xeno and could use an verb "Honor" and they will have a list of honors to give said xeno, which cannot be taken once given. They also do not stack so you cant have Blooded Stubborn MVX Sly Hunter (666).

Zealous and blooded are about the same

This seems incredibly unfriendly to lore and immersion.

Not much support for this, and I don't think it will coincide with what we're doing. Denied.
