Balancing shade cloak

elodea

Hi guys, so after some ponderous thinking about how to balance shade cloak i would like to make the following suggestion

As it happens, aliens find anchovies irresistibly delicious and give off pheromones so that other aliens know there is anchovies around. The pheromones react with the nanites in powered rooms so that marines can faintly tell where cloaked aliens are. Marine has to buy anchovies from armoury.

Because it would still be hard to see cloaked marines with anchovies, marines can also buy pineapples (for more res) which makes the aliens repulse in disgust and give off alot of bright yellow pheromones that warn other aliens not to go near.

great idea, as long as the aliens can easily see wich marine is holding what. So the model needs to be adjusted to a marine with a gun in his right hand, and his left hand raised above his head, holding to pineapple for everyone to see.

Would be cooler to give them ( The Marines ) Infrared Vision that you can buy from armory for 5-10.

Visually I'd prefer to buy a bunch of sausages from the armory and hang them off my belt or around my neck. Anchovie Sausages maybe ?

Harimau

I think that would be insensitive, as the sausages could be mistaken for dynamite-like explosives.

ask yuuki to build a mod for it so we can test it out
