The 2.0 Wild Ideas Thread

<div class="IPBDescription">NOT a balance/suggestion thread.</div> Just a thread to share your wild ideas about that would be neat to have in NS.

<b>THIS IS NOT A WISHLIST/SUGGESTION THREAD.</b> Please keep that in mind. This is just a place to say what you wanted the game to have. If you want to ask the devs to put something into the game, this is probably not the place to do it.

Mine:

Marines: Grenade Launcher upgrade: Napalm grenades
After this upgrade, structures that are hit by the nade can't be healed for a few seconds until the napalm effect is over.

Flamethrowers! With the same "napalm" effect, of course.

A structure which sole purpose would be to seal off doors and hallways, like a giant block of steel or something like that. It would be expensive, and have around 15000 life. No more need of "CC Walls".

Aliens:

6th Alien class, between the Fade and the Onos. It would cost 75 res. The class I have in mind looks a lot like the zerg lurker:

The alien would have 6 legs, stand on 4, and use the last 2 to attack. This class' melee attack would be able to hit multiple marines at once, due to its large claws.

These are mine, what are your ideas?

    I sense flood and spam.
    This is a "fan-fiction" thread more than anything else. I'm not asking to put my ideas in the game. Read. I don't know why there could be a problem with it.

    Anyways. I think that a bounty system would be great for the marine side. Thus having two different types of RFK systems on both sides. However, the bounty system would reward a certain amount of res dependant on how many kills the alien has gotten since the last time he has died.

    I don't like the bounty system because it just propgates the problem of marines not being team orientated. You're just gonna have marines all over running around hunting down prize aliens.

    How about a mission system for gaining res for the marines.
    Mission - If all 4 selected marines can reach waypoint B and remain there for 30 seconds then marine team is rewarded with 20 res per marine.
    The mission zones could be 2 or 3 select areas on the map, not just anywhere, so aliens would know to check them periodically for marines gaining res.

    There could also be a new kind of game instead of the current "Team Deathmatch". "Escape" Where the marines start with HA, HMGs, FULL ammo and welder, but no command console, (no extra health, ammo, etc) and the Marine team must escape from the spaceship before the aliens overrun them. The aliens would start with 3 hives but no res, and the hives would have 600.000 life to avoid marines rushing instead of running.

    I think all the marine models should look like Bruce Campbell.
