Marines get Working Joes, Xenos get Lesser Drones, survs should get doggies!

Suggestion: Add colony pets to the map as a lesser surv role. Dogs would obviously be the most useful, but there could be other pets as well!

Utility:

  1. Night vision/keen hearing. The dog could see/smell xenos in the dark and alert the humans by facing in the appropriate direction and growling. Can also detect stealthed lurkers by smell. This could work like a motion detector

  2. Can lead medics to wounded or dying humans, lassie style!

  3. Can be loaded with packs like corrupted xenos and bring supplies to the frontline.

  4. Can tear resin nodes apart maybe I guess? I dunno. I just think dogs would be cool. Period.

Obviously they’d be incredibly easy to kill but very fast, maybe a tad bit slower than a runner. Also they wouldn’t be able to commit suicide, therefor they’d be easier for the xenos to cap. I know how much xenos hate it when survivors suicide after a long fought siege, so maybe the chance of an extra cap could give xenos a little more incentive to tackle survivors.

I will never understand why ss13 players want to play as animals so badly.

Dogs are not furries. In fact they would likely attack a furry on sight due to the dog’s innate ability to detect pure evil.

Apparently, green lizards on LV-624 were not enough for us. Funny idea though

I do however think this is a somewhat interesting idea, but it kind of just takes away a survivor slot, since a Dog really wouldn’t be much help to the survivors at all.

Give them double vision distance and the ability to sense xenos the way xenos sense humans through walls.

I just wanted this added so I can read the absolute shitshow of player reports it will cause.

I know you imagine its going to be you leading the way to survivor bodies and being praised as a good dog…

In actuality… xenos will slash you… and the marines are going to shoot you. Probably with a flamer while making jokes about “asian cooking” or some shit; but entirely out of spite

Marines are the true animals.

I’m ready to read the marine appealing his perma ban on trying to make stir fry with the dog.

It would be LRP not to shoot a dog as a marine, why would you be noted for it? Soldiers don’t go “ahhhhhh doggoooo ahhhh dogie dogie dogie :heart_eyes:” when a dog barks at them in a combat zone

As I surv I already gotta deal with the useless bastard that the CL surv is, so if I can get a surv that is useless like the CL but unlike the CL it will not yap nonstop I’d call that a great QoL addition for survs.

I would go with the HRP ATF route during any doggo encounters.
