Stomach acid

[Simo94]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
remove stomach acid for the Runner

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
prevents the death of many furry hosts at round start and makes gathering them much easier

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Dragging a furry host from the south west of the map to north east caves can take years, devouring is much much faster, and since runner does most of that and they don't really focus on acid just their physical power it makes sense to remove the host killing stomach acid, also stomach acid is what they use to pain crit survivors at round start when Queen is disabling slashing of hosts

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

-1, This has the capacity to be abused. Imagine Hunters, Crushers, and Ravagers devouring a fuckton of marines. In my opinion this would essentially make Xenos makeshift jails.

-1 just a blatant unnecessary buff, aliens have always done well enough with gathering monkeys when they actually focus on it and don't all just focus entirely on the survivors.

you realise you cant devour alive marines for more than 10sec becuz they will literally chest burst out from inside? and they cant devour dead ones too

[Casany]

Change it to only runners, since they will be doing the early game carrying of monkeys

[Toroic]

It's not just stomach acid, they also suffocate which would still kill the monkeys.

[Butterrobber202]

JUST the runner,s and young ones at that. So its all good

[Simo94]

It's not just stomach acid, they also suffocate which would still kill the monkeys.

that can be reset by re-devouring, acid damage lasts a while


edit: changed to runner

+1 but you need to be able to toggle it. logically, they would starve without any way to digest meat, so it would make more sense if it's some natural ability made to capture monkeys and other animals.

[RoswellRay]

I don't understand this thread at all. The monkeys are something for the xenos to do for the first half hour and is already easier to accomplish than marine prep. It doesn't need to be instant. I mean they could probably just change the map to spawn all monkeys in the hive if everyone is that lazy.

[Simo94]

its not laziness, its baldness that costs the hive precious larvas, anyway just lock this thread meh rly

[Polkjm]

Every day, a runner suffers from chronic baldness. Help stop the balding of our children: donate today.

And yes it's mostly about laziness, and a little bit about badness.. But honestly you're right, it's really not that big of a problem and I'll come back on my word and say it's not a necessary change. Bad players will get good eventually.

*CoughcoughReverseChestburstingcoughCough*

The bigger problem with this is a Xeno could completely forget that they have a Marine devoured and be gibbed, really.

[Stingray]

-1, if you're in a situation where you need to devour a host rather than drag them, it SHOULD come with a risk factor of losing them entirely.

Old, lack of continued interest.

Locking.
