Hello!
Welcome to the PvE space for CM-SS13! These servers (we have three!) are dedicated to the playing and development of a Player versus Environment CMSS13.
PvE-CM is very different from the CM experience you’re used to. If you come play with us expect an entirely different game with an entirely different set of rules. CM-PvE is a substantially more relaxed community of people who just want to do some fun Aliens RP and survive some wild combat encounters.
The overall design of the experience is intended to have a game master create scenarios for players to then overcome and engage with. Game Masters will be free to make specifications for their intended experience generally leaning towards RP-focus.
The structure of a round will have 11 players (2 squads of four, 1 PltSgt, 1 corpsman, 1 PltCo) and a Game Master. Similar to regular CMSS13 you will have to customize your gear, form a plan based on the requirements set by the game master, and then deploy and execute your plan while completing objectives. Succeeding will generally not be clearing an entire colony or hive but instead tertiary objectives like setting up relays, saving colonists, securing gear, and others. Sometimes there might even be special non-USCM rounds…
Death will be violent and permanent. Engaging against xenomorphs is intended to be a tense experience and game masters will be free to change difficulties or pre-state intended skills levels for a round. Communication and coordination will be paramount to success.
If the above sounds exciting to you and you want to come hang out with the chill peeps, check out the documentation below, links to join are found within.
