Title: old bodysnatcher idea
Post by: JamesIIV on June 14, 2007, 01:18:46 am
yah please dont flame I just thought this out at the top of my head thought id share it anyway I was thinking of a beginner alien class worm thing that can drill into dead soldiers heads and take over there body (downside to the worm they cant attack without a host) and they cant drill into battlesuits without changing into a advanced form of the worm, this is just a simple i dea I thought it was qwite good so please fill me in on what u guys think....

!

Can the worm voluntarily disconnect from the host?

What sort of hp and ammo does the host get (When a human dies, I'd bet its ammo count gets trashed, as well as info on what weapon it was carrying)?

Does the worm live if the host is "killed" again?

i was thinking the worm gets the current weapon and ammo the host had before and when it bonds with a host it cant disconect from it

and maybe it has like 20 hp due to the rotting corpse

and the way the humans know if the infected human is infected is maybe red eyes or something

like i said top of my head

The player should not receive a weapon besides bare fists.

Or he could use the search, realize that this same idea has been brought up a dozen times and never really went anywhere, and that since he doesn't really have any new ideas and hasn't really even thought about it all that hard, perhaps it would be better to just forget about it, or take this (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4388) in mind and make a serious suggestion.

I don't think we'd yell at him if he did it this way.

Actually, one of the core ideas of the very early versions of Tremulous was that the Aliens needed to infest Human corpses.
This idea was later discarded for a multitude of reasons.

Ironically it is now the other way round. The aliens are invested by humans. Yes! You would never think that, but every alien is controlled by a human using some voodoo UDP and TCP/IP magic.  :D

this leads me to 2 conclusions:
1)aliens are somehow related to badgers
2)aliens run linux (http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml)
