First things first, FOB metarushes by xenos.
right now, there is technically no rules stopping the queen having the entire hive waiting at FOB, and screeching the Alamo the moment it lands, locking it and taking it over before any marines have a chance to even react. Although extremely unlikely, as xenos wouldn’t be inclined to do so without weeds, having to guess which LZ they land at, and good luck getting the entire hive to get ready by 00:20 and listen to your suicide orders, the fact that xenos are even allowed to have their entire assault inside FOB before marines even get a single cade down isn’t fun for anyone. This is prominent on lowpop, where marines are sent down without an XO, and are met with five T3’s in FOB at 00:25, before the Alamo has even cycled.
Coupled with the fact that xenos have extreme safeguards against survs when they’re attacked in hive, but marines don’t share these luxuries, I see no reason why we shouldn’t bring back the rules against xenos being in FOB before second cycle, and I have no idea why these rules were even removed in the first place.
Secondly, mutiny changes.
Right now, mutinies are heavily underused for the fact that they can only last around 3 minutes before everyone has to be friends again for hijack. I propose an idea, where once an admin starts a mutiny event, xenos aren’t allowed to hijack for at least ten minutes, OR when the hijack is complete.
To make this situation better for xenos, they will be allowed to freely ghost and watch the hijack take place, and be automatically placed back into their bodies once they are allowed to hijack.
This makes hijacks actually fun, allows them to actually do things without being stopped before anything happens, and allows xenos to laugh at marines killing themselves.
Would love to hear input on both of these things.
