I suggest the Lesser Drones wither and die outside weeds at the same rate the facehugger does.
That way it can curb a bit of the suicidal behavior lessers tend to do to have trying to have a bigger impact on the round, while at the same time still beign able to expand, weed and build thus helping the hive.
I find it bizarre that some lessers go around the whole map/tunnel to just acid and slash-suicide themselves on cades.
They do it because their respawn cooldown is insanely short, like 10 seconds or something, so there’s no downside. And yet facehugger cooldown is like 5 minutes. I don’t understand why personally.
Lesser drone is just drone with lower stats full abilities and can respawn faster. Maybe actually make it a support by removing tail stab and acid(melt cades, slash cades, respawn and repeat) ability to body block
Or just scrap them and throw them away, under the same reason as “xeno ability to pat flames away” got added (annoying)
yup, same with lesser drones, while being much beefier than huggers - I’m fine with ghosts having something to do, but it might make more sense for the cooldown on hugger to be lower, and drone to be higher to stop this weird meta lesser suicide-charge thing
