About the PR

This PR is a buff across the board to all xenos, to make them actually scarry. Doubles, sometimes triples their HP, and increases damage

Why / Balance

Xenos as they stand are nowhere near as scary as slimes despite having their own massive rare event. So now, they will be scary as hell

Technical details

Bumped HP and damage values considerably

Requirements

Breaking changes

Changelog

🆑

  • tweak: Xenos have become far hardier and scarier beasts to hunt on the station. Don't wander the maints alone

this doesnt help rp in any way, it just makes it easier for new players to get killed by the untelegraphed xeno spawn(s) that immediately attacks you. you shouldnt need to have xenos be able to instagib you to rp being afraid of them

port xeno antag instead :trollface:

Not even gonna consider making them scarier till someone ports over the stuff from RMC?

as i said more damage just hurts new players, you get absolutely no warning before a xeno/slime/spider/etc spawns ontop of you and if you dont know how to lose them while being slowed by damage, you die

Didn't actually look at the values of this PR but xenos def need to be buffed though. Right now they are way too squishy/weak.

the problem is when we have good things spawn completely randomly, it fuckign sucks to just die to rng.

Why not an announcement about xeno signatures in the ventilation system trying to escape, give it a solid 30 seconds or so for people to get ready to run/hide

If I knew how to do this I would v.v

the thing is they spawn from vents/scrubbers so its essentially make a xeno free room with a wrench and crowbar or go into a toilet or something

We definitely need to have stronger xenos! As it stands right now they're basically Vent Critters +, they need to carry more weight. If untelegraphed xeno attacks are the problem, telegraph them! Make an announcement a minute or maybe even thirty seconds before they spawn, let people prepare, et cetera.

Xenos deserve better rep! Delta V needs to be more dangerous!
