Infestation healing bulbs

aNytiMe

In order to make dynamic infestation more of an advantage to the alien team, aliens should be able to have some advantages while on it. I propose a system where small bulbs procedurally appear on "random" points on the infestation. Attacking such a bulb with a primary should heal the alien for some amount of health. To make it more pimp, using one such bulb destroys some infestation around it. This will add an interesting gameplay dynamic because the front lines will quickly become depleted and in a head to head confrontation, aliens will constantly be losing ground. This will add the necessity of either regrouping and overwhelming the marine team, or pressuring from other directions.

I like it. More interesting than having innate regen. I don't know if it needs the DI death, but it would have to be "non-bite-able" when the user is a full health.

^ Yes, to prevent that Marine Spy on the alien team deom just killing all the DI.

fun idea. Sounds good to me.

This is a good idea aslong as the healing bulbs do more than the normal regen, and less than the Defense chamber regen.

alot less, just enough for a quick heal
