Improving the Xenomorph Ruin.

[Shadowflame909]

So headmins and maintainers think the ruin suck.

Yet there is also a stronger feeling of "this ruin sucks but if you remove the eggs and replace it with something. it'll be better"

So, here's my idea:

1. remove the eggs.

2. double the health of all the Mobs.

3. In the middle of the ruin, add a skeleton, A Robotic Xeno-Suit, And a note that says "Boy..do I love xenomorphs. ~ Curator.

The Xeno-Suit would essentially be a hard suit that connects to your nerves While wearing it. You get the effect of having all the xeno-organs inside of you (Except for the egg sac) and slightly boosted speed. But in exchange for that, since the suit connects to your nerves. You take double damage.

What do you guys think, is this a decent enough replacement for the eggs?

1. Yes.

2. Wut. Is it just not difficult with a PKA?

3. Ehhhh. The suit seems like a really shitty loot item for braving lots of deadly enemies, which was my complaint with the xeno ruin as it exists now; lots of risk for not lots of reward. Maybe if it was spaceworthy, let you move at normal speed, and didn't make you take double damage- which isn't super pushed because you can already get a hardsuit from the mining vending machines; this is basically a slightly improved version of that hardsuit.

Idea #4 for me: decrease the size, holy shit. When the xeno ruin spawns, it makes it so that most of the spawners can't appear, taking up a majority of the map. This one of my biggest complaints about xeno ruin: it pushes out interesting ruins with one that can only be used to grief the station with xenos.

Personally I'd like for more ruins to be as interesting as, say, the Pride ruin, but that's a discussion for another thread.

Let people have their xenos for antagging or taking over lavaland. They rarely make it to the station anyhow

[FloranOtten]

I don't get why people keep focusing on a nonexistent problem. It's exceptionally rare to see a lavaland xeno brought stationside.

I say make it a lot smaller. At present the only 'loot' is xeno organs. Nice, but not enough to justify displacing actually interesting stuff.

You can't get Xeno Organs from NPC Xenos though.


You just get the facehuggers
