<div class="IPBDescription">Like in SupComm</div>For those that don't know, in Supreme Commander you have to ability to claim corpse of dead units to save res. This is very useful after an epic battle, or when you lose a super unit.
In NS, corpses could have multiple uses, and also explain where all those dead bodies go.
For Marines, after you kill an alien, you would be able to walk onto the corpse, take out your knife, skin it, and then apply the carapace to your armor with duct tape for an extra armor boost. You would get an appropriate armor boost depending on the alien, and you could even boast a stylish Fade hat to show off to all your friends.
For Aliens, they could devour the corpse for some extra health, use it to spawn babblers, or maybe turn it into dynamic infestation. Or an even crazier idea, give gorges a discount on chambers if they build it on something dead.

ahaha this is hillarious! i want a davey crockett style hat made from a gorge, with an onos skin trenchcoat <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pudgy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::gorge::" border="0" alt="pudgy.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tiny.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::onos::" border="0" alt="tiny.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
i seriously doubt this will be implemented though...
in the old quake 2 mod gloom (what tremulous is based off, and sort of NS as well) the aliens could infest dead human bodies, creating a swarm of flies that hovered over the corpse and did some small dammage to any humans that walked close enough. it was very effective after a big battle when lots of corpses are scattered in a small area...
it would be good to see the gorge do something similar, or turn a marine's carcass into a proximity mine? gibs galore!
i also like the idea of skulks eating marine bodies when they are dead. maybe it could regen some HP, or give them a slight adren rush? or something like bloodlust from warcraft?
