Aliens can't strip victims anymore, massive step backwards

[Oldman Robustin]

Who's bright idea was this?

Don't even think about playing the fucking realism card in a game with aliens and spessmen.

Right now ANYONE with a face-hugger immune mask/helmet is forced to be murdered by aliens since they no longer have the "dexterity" to remove helmets.

This is a clear lose/lose for both sides. The dead humans will now stay dead 5ever instead of coming back as aliens, and aliens continue their long journey from "Terror of the Station" to "Hilariously inept".

Aliens have to be able to grow their numbers through facehuggings and it has a secondary benefit of bringing the dead back into the game. This should be common sense.

Was this intentional?

If so it is one of the most stupid and utterly moronic decisions I've seen personally. Speaking from experience (Alien Queen represent!) Aliens NEED to be able to remove head items that 65% of the crew are wearing.

it's likely a mistake, nobody is retarded enough to actually make a change like this.

I take full responsibility for this oversight. It was an unforeseen consequence of an related change.

This is a bug, and the fix for it is in:

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Ikarrus began fixing it after someone made an issue for it, so please use the issue tracker next time.
