So, this is something that had me thinking a while back, and something made me remember about this. Research knowingly and freely making corrupted abominations. Is it considered metagaming, or is it a gray zone all together? Is it allowed?
The USCM (Including their research department) barely knows of the existence of the Yautja race outside of bare-boned rumors iirc, let alone their biology to be able to engineer and utilize abominations. Sure, they are a flex like “Hey, I’m able to make corrupted abominations!” But if you’re in the middle of a pred round, you’re esentially dooming yourself and possibly shipside crew and the research department to be eradicated by the hunters.
Of course, they ARE rare, but there are individuals who are capable of doing this with in game mechanics, as I had a pred round where they exterminated about 1-3 of them from shipside research.
So, it’s metagaming. We’ve had researchers in the past drop everything they’re doing to create an abomination, all with full knowledge of what Thwei does. It’s a hundred percent full stop metagaming. We kinda forgive it because it’s cool.
hey! it was VERY annoying being a ghost and watching researchers fumble abom like… FOUR DIFFERENT times, it was frankly absurd, I could not handle watching a researcher try and inject a monkey with cross ciphering and hoping that it’d work one more time.
all of what research does is metagaming
You tell me how they are able to plant eggs without any fear of getting hugged in the containments
also its hard to see predalien corrupted or predalien at all.
