Changelings are cool, I want more changelings and less Nightmares or Provocateur's
That's all.
That's all.

Armhulen had a pretty good idea about this where a late-join changeling would like... "crash" onto the station in a meteor made out of flesh and it would have to slink amongst the crew after that... Sounded cool, not sure how you can balance that out.
Mid-round changeling "feels" ridiculous in that I don't really see people going for something more clever than "YOU SUDDENLY REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NOT YOUR OWN BODY, AND INSTEAD THAT YOU ARE A SLUG CONTROLLING THIS BODY INSTEAD". Would like to be proven wrong.

Possibly something like fugitives but with meteors? Maybe it can be a possibility to happen during meteor waves so it’s not easy to just assume “OMG LING METEOR”. If we are going to make it one meteor, maybe add a new random event called solo meteor where just one or two random meteor(s) gets sent and destroys stuff to throw the crew off?
I like the idea within changelings starting from fresh, sounds like a neat gimmick.

This event was already added recently actually, so no problem there.Epicgamer545 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 6:19 pm If we are going to make it one meteor, maybe add a new random event called solo meteor where just one or two random meteor(s) gets sent and destroys stuff to throw the crew off?

It could work exactly like mid-round blob host. One moment you're Joe Johnson walking about doing his job the next moment you've been body snatched by a parasite wearing Joe's skin.san7890 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 12:02 am Armhulen had a pretty good idea about this where a late-join changeling would like...

just add latejoin shuttle and maybe the meteor one making people suddenly turn ling midround is stupid

Maybe just enable latejoin shuttle. The other ideas are quite cool but will probably take quite a while to be coded, if they ever are, so it seems like a sensible solution in the meantime.
