why is this a thing
XvX can be really cool and this just shoots it dead
yes i love fighting to protect eggs as surv and then have it immediately ruined because they melted it after we all died

roleplay-wise, why would you want to preserve eggs as a survivor when the very xenos that hatched from it killed your coworkers and friends in the colony?

Perhaps you shouldn’t die then they can’t melt the eggs

why they melt eggs instead of moving them? Is it established that hive knows marines can make green hive? Both marines and xenos metagame it so they get/not get greenos

This is probably just an oversight honestly, i doubt being able to melt them is intended

I just want to make some omelette after they rescue me, duh? Do you not get hungry surviving so long on that planet?
having near to no way to recover from the loss of someone completely outside of the hives control shouldnt punish the entire hive, just shoot them before they melt the eggs or bring tactical syringes to get egg plasma before its melted

how would a xeno even know that Rsr could make greens in the first place.
They technicly don’t. But they also don’t know IOs purpose is to get intel to get more rienforcements/equipment/nuke, yet we have the backlines and its castes essentially made to kill them before it happens. Melting eggs is also a counterplay to slow down stim production (yet another thing xenoes don’t technicly know about, but play around every match), and intel (xenoes aboard the alamyer in containment gives intel points).
sell it and get rich? backliners do not kill IO to stop reinforcments IC wise unless they just… ignore RP, they kill them cuz tehy are humans and they kill those. but with eggs there is no reason to melt them, they want the stupid humans to take the eggs and spread them around

No i just saying like if we wanted to remove egg melting and i do, it’s easy enough to justafy the xenos knowing greenos exist.
Honestly greenos are so hard to make let us have the eggs. After the rework greens are almost impossible to make most rounds even if you got egg plasma. Greenos are objectivly worse then stims anyway so let us have our fun.
Thats highly contensious. If you get one of those prime queens, then you got something thats 100% better than stims every time.
Just having that one drone go around making clusters groundside does way more than most mediocre stims.
Also:
Let me have fun by not engaging with XvX. I am here for my own fun as well you know.

I guess my question too is how does a rifleman or IO know that researcher can do it without being explicitly told, you know? If IO rushes alpha egg on CC…? Or marines pick up carrier eggs
Not that im avidly against the suggestion, I just think it would require some server moderation weigh in about what is/isnt metagaming

..what??
Technically speaking they dont.

They dont, and neither do survs.
Frankly you can call it metagame by either side.
Why would survs save an egg instead of breaking it? why would xenos melt an egg instead of bringing it back?

To be fair on the ALPHA egg. Xenoes tend to be HIGHLY aggressive and destructive against rival hives. Even more so than regular humans (they even tend to ignore humans sometimes to focus on the rival hive).

Very few xenos have the ability to move eggs. Only drone castes, and I’m not even sure if burrowers can.
I’d only be in favor of making eggs unmeltable if more castes were able to handle them.
e:somebody on discord suggested most being able to move but only drone castes being able to plant, and I think that would be a fine compromise.
