Xenomorph Hunter Movement Speed

[Hathkar]

I'll keep it short: Xenomorph hunters run way too fast. It's basically impossible to control where you're moving around with any precision at all if you're not moving one step at a time. This is even worse if you're in space, since you WILL fling yourself off into space with just one mistep. Even aboard the station, you move blindingly fast, and it's near impossible to both get close enough to someone to hit them, but still move around enough to dodge attacks.

(Also other really fast forms of travel like VTEC, mining wings, and flightsuits are always way too damn fast.)

[Cobby]

the fact you wrote this from a stance of buffing the hunter by lowering his speed instead of nerfing the hunter because it's too fast has made me ill.

good day!

We should make everyone hunter speed again

We should remove xenomorphs

xenos are so iconic (despite being shamelessly stolen) I would be genuinely unhappy to see them get removed outright

We have xenos still?

Show me an antag that doesn't rely on stuns, huge DPS, or some weird anomaly like blob

I was about to say we're not gonna bother balancing an admin event but then I remembered fuck heads had rammed them into the game

spiders

Spiders are a huge anomaly. They're useless in a fight, but they expand exponentially and can swarm even deathsquads.

>useless
one bite from a purple can do a shitload of tox damage if you don't run to medbay immediately. A bite from a green can incapacitate you if left untreated. Reds are just really, really robust.

I say we remove xenos so if someone makes a movie they won't be sued for copy infringement

[Anonmare]

I remember morphine spiders.

this, they're iconic because they're from like 5 movies (WE DIDN'T MAKE THEM MOVIES!)

What is the point of writing "show me something that doesnt use stuns that isnt an anomaly" but qualifying it with "unless it uses stuns its an anomaly:

We should remove xenomorphs

[Armhulen]

I've been saying it since i got in office, i've been coding a replacement since i got in github, and you darn well know i'm gonna do it once we get in the second wave of variants.

[Armhulen]

also soon: spiderhud for all your eight legged needs

i meant they feel iconic to ss13 but i mean yeah

mechanically, sure, they're shit

would still be really sad to see them be removed, i don't care if you fuck with how they play though

[Not-Dorsidarf]

I dont like spiders because they're always a binary toggle

"Did you annihilate them instantly yes/no"
if the answer is no, everyone dies from billions of spiders no matter what

that's xenomorphs, but instead of there being a lot of them there's just one guy at full speed that stuns you and then uses his knockout item then brings you to the brig hive for conversion (you don't get to play though lol)

[Armhulen]

spiders are also easily beatable by using your environment.
SPIDERS CANNOT SURVIVE:
Plasma (I think)
Burning plasma
Space
Freon
Anything cold, actually
XENOS CANNOT SURVIVE:
Burning plasma, normal plasma actually buffs them

Do hunters not have a run/walk toggle?

They do not.
