Description of the incident: It was a Trijent round. Xenos have a really hard time defending especially if it's the default north labs location. The Queen choose that. I went drone and built most of the defenses, we also had another hivelord. The queen deovied when marines hit the pod locks. After marines breached in past pod locks, queen abandoned the hive, while the position was still manageable. There was no escape tunnel since burrower went AWOL, xenos had a hard time escaping south because they had to fight through marines, then go into the still boiling water. I've managed to break through and live a little bit longer, still to die a little bit later. And it was a quick marine major.
This is also not the first time Queens do it, maybe even this very same queen and it never works, because most xenos die while trying to escape such a situation.
I understand that people usually don't get punished for making a wrong tactical move, but in this very particular situation the negligence is blatant. She could have prepared and communicated the escape plan beforehand, maybe ensured that there is an escape tunnel and it would have been fine. She could have ordered everyone to rally on her and covered the retreat.
So the main issue is whether the Queen players can abandon their hives to fend for themselves without doing some bare minimum to ensure that their children survive.
I do not really expect this report to be resolved positively, due to understandable reluctance to hand hold Queens on the staff side, but I still thought that nothing bad would happen if I report this.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): No special evidence.
How you would punish the accused: Warned to not do this again.
