Scared ICly, not OOCly. This is a roleplaying game.

So xenos not being able to reliably solo cap somehow prevents somebody to be ICly scared of scary xenos, but also not scared, because “scary” means “dangerous”?
You can be ICly scared of your shadow, or a spiderling on the floor.

Ok so imagine you’re a marine and you’re all like 
and then you go and think yeah im gonna have fun (). You go to hydro road. You are clicked one time 
and then your Round Is Over. There is no way out of it, even if the xeno cannot reliably move you from where they caught you to the hive, they can TACKLE spam () and drag you forever.
Capping is fixed if you make it so that tackles stop being guaranteed after a couple of tackles, so xenos can’t pull you across the entire map with no escape. Only tweak that’s needed is that.
TLDR, turn it from to 
by simply adding a tackle cap, to capping.

alternatively, just have aliens be able to grab you by the throat and drag you if they tackle you down, remove devouring. Tells marines which xeno to target, more soulful to see your chance at survival go down as you scream, give a low low chance to resist out with a knife similar to bursting out of them as you cut at the hands while you flail
hear me out, being vored? boring, fetish bait.
being dragged by my collar like i’m a naughty kid in school? soulful as fuck
edit: give it a channel like devour to get the grip to drag

“Unfair” and “solocapping” is kinda mutually exclusive? If you ended up being alone who is to blame? Plus in most cases (aside from warrior lunge and queen neuro/soloscreech) you can resist solocapping. Just shoot the runner/drone, preferably with shotgun, but m41a can also be enough to scare them off, as long as you have some range (and dodged runner pounce). It’s not like you have no chances at all. Capping a lone person with shotgun is actually a lot riskier for the runner than for the person. Runner needs to tackle them at least twice after pounce, but runner is dead in one click.

I prefer getting vored, reverse bursting is really fucking funny when it actually works

THE VORE HAS TO STAY. IT IS A E-ROLEPLAY SERVER! Not everyone can no life cm-ss13 and become desensitized to the point it becomes pure TDM with no ERP or immersion

Long ago in a distant land, I, Elder Warrior JRP, the shape-shifting Master of Capping, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish Marine warrior wielding a magic undroppable shotgun stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final pb was struck, I tore open an hole in resin doors and flung him into the hive, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the frontline, and undo the future that is larva infection!

Listen bro, all I know is that when I rarely decide to play xeno, I can solocap easy because all I had to do was bing a few hotkeys and I was golden as a Lurker cap machine every time because the odds are stacked greatly in my favour.
Please teach me your ways of lurker solocapping after CS got nerfed. I don’t know how to guarantee solocap as a lurker (unless you count capping with sentient facehugger as solocapping).
Pov either you’re a lone marine, a marine who’s outside a safe place and is unrobust, or your friends suck.
Skill issue.

The bugs aren’t scary when a runner quite litterally dies to 1 PB and a warrior who’s taller than you is sent to the ground by 1 slug and gets up in nano one second.

Give marines a debuff to tackles if they are alone
It is enough to make a debuff if you are seriously injured or hungry
