Xenomorphs should not be allowed to turn the escape shuttle into a hive

It's stupidly powerful. One hunter and a queen can capture the escape shuttle, and from then you have a hive that's unable to be bombed (you need it), where everyone needs to go to, with bottleneck access and with good cover (mostly).

And for the lore shitposters, "Xenomorphs would not want to get on a shuttle because they would be leaving their hive behind."

If the xenos capture the escape shuttle in the three minutes it spends on station and you dont have the forces/numbers/weapons to charge and overwhelm them to take it back, then you're probbably completely screwed anyway and should be welding yourself into an escape pod.

What dorsi said. Xenos are not designed or intended to be something that can be defeated by one powergamer with a c*kehat.

Do you really have time to organize though? Much of the crew is just ambushed because hunter spam is broken, and the rest? You have 2 minutes left, go get armed and have a battle. Those captured are permastunned on shuttle. It doesn't even help the xeno's to capture shuttle, as it arrives before the first chest will burst.

Or buy the raven battlecruiser and watch the xenos try to break through lasers and shields.

This is dumb because:
1) Limiting antags sucks
2) You’d need weird, convoluted flavortext to even try and get it to stop
3) One could argue there is the IC a motivation of xenos getting more life forms on shuttle=bigger hive

Most of the Alien movies feature a scene where the Alien stows away aboard a shuttle to further spread the infestation. You of all people should know this!
