What happened to all the goated researchers who did cool stuff?

@JuliusAugustus

I dislike making stims, its too much of a hassle to get everything going in a good timeframe

i agree with ya on that, altho i have never tried to make greenos, i mainly make nerve gases to use againts xenos or i make OT’s day and give a dirt cheap mega bomb, which actually this reminds me of a suggestion i was gonna make about the hole OT thing, why not consume OT into research and rebrand it to RnD

I love how this turned into a CIC hate thread

As any thread should

@JuliusAugustus

I think every single plasma from high-ranking xenos that isnt acid has addicting properties

Only royal plasma has addictive prop iirc

@JuliusAugustus

Either way, greenos SHOULD be made more dependent on research. Give researchers a way to make 5k biomass into a monkey cube

Greenos already cap researchers and get ~2 free hosts when they betray, one cube per 30 minutes won’t ensure their loyalty

I agree that stims are cancer and we need to get as far away from them as possible. Force research to make something useful for once, instead of “We’ve struggled for 2 hours, here’s Bicardine+”

We should make both stims and grenos impossible to get, I think, so that researchers could remember their obscure ability to print armor plates, splints and etc

ah yes i remember when i first saw that i was like holly shit we can fuckin gear up marines just for anoth research to look me dead in the eyes and say we dont think about the marines first

@JuliusAugustus

Personally as someone who dumped 60 hours in research(still noob) - I dislike making stims, its too much of a hassle to get everything going in a good timeframe, and then have to pray marines are actually not braindead and use them properly, scoring 20+ killstreaks of lessers while fortnite dancing on the queen after every screech.
Greenos however are way easier to make if you have the basic stuff, genuinely dont need much input to get growing, you just need to make sure the Queen is on the same page. Worst case scenario you have to pledge your life and allegiance to the hive, but eh why not?

Lol most research mains despise making stims. Strength/weaknesses aside, greenos is the superior option because it’s actually fun.

@JuliusAugustus

Either way, greenos SHOULD be made more dependent on research. Give researchers a way to make 5k biomass into a monkey cube or something, if we are cutting points from the machine in the planned update.

I don’t think research getting more monkey cubes thanks to biomass would make greenos more dependant on research, but it’s a good idea nonetheless to make them a bit more viable for highpop (since anything related to biomass scales nicely with pop numbers thanks to more players dying). I suppose it could give you an additional tool to RP with to convince the hive to play nice with you.

Greenos unlike stims can’t be made every round, they don’t step on the toes of plates and nano splints unlike stims.

@BasilHerb

If researchers stopped with their insane obsession for perfect godstims, marines would win every round because they’d get decent stims in an actually useful timeframe

THIS…as a 100+ lab lad(dear lord i am on my way to plating please help i fear for my brain) this is so true. But part of the issue is that much like OT’ing you try to not step on any of your coworkers toes. this is partly why i only really play researcher on low pop, or if there is no researchers awake round start.

I WANT to make non-godstims but i know better than to use up our points, the reason you get point hoarding is that the lab is kind of run by committee. if do do make a non-optimal stim that costs a considerable but moderate amount of points your fellows are not going to be happy.

I meant is as a way to ACTUALLY convince greenos to stay loyal. after you give them the first 9 monkeys - greenos have nothing to lose but their lives by betraying. This would ensure that greenos can stay loyal happily and no rogue xenos can convince the queen to betray cuz “Hive must grow”.
