    Something Something Queen has Psychic powers or whatever.

    Real talk, it's a thing where gameplay goes before lore or whatever. Not that anyone would cry if we removed hijack, I don't think.

    remember

    - ravs capping is lrp

    - xenos speaking is lrp

    - hijack is lrp

    marines are guilty of lrp but so are xenos

    the shotgun double chunging will continue until the xeno rp improves

    Please move this post to Acid Goop before lore-masters swarm this place and start a chain-reaction of infinite posts about why "CM isn't MRP".

    Psychic powers does not tamper with the ID scanning capabilities of consoles.

    There could be multiple ways to explain why and how without going for the stupid "psychic powers". But that requires two braincells rubbing together, so it immediately disqualifies a benomain.

    For example WY(or any other bigger organisation) hacking dropship to go down and then up, while Queen touching dropship console and then cockpit console is just a gameplay "trigger" for that event.
    Queen Mother really shouldn't get some fucking god powers. At best "sensing" life forms across the space and sending some messages, not retarded thousands light-years matter manipulation.

    That's sort of how Queen Mother(s) are described in actual lore from what I remember. I don't really bother with "Xeno lore" atm mind you, but last I checked QM was literally able to mindbreak populations across the stars using psychic powers.

    So it equals to "sensing life forms" and "sending messagess" across the space, mainly the latter. Just checking Xenopedia (maybe not the most reliable source, but still) it says: "Queen Mothers are physically and even telepathically capable... they can also penetrate the minds of humans, using emotional attatchments and promises of love and affection to lure them to their dooms. Queen Mothers can even enter dreams, where they attempt to use their telepathy to influence behavior or otherwise communicate information, wants, and desires."

    Thats a OK, nothing too shitty, cool and fairly subtle influence. Belivelable, not too silly, or "magic". Queen Mother hacking machines across the galaxies is silly.
    If you really want that, atleast do it by proxy. Like Queen Mother subtly manipulating CEO of WY, thus entire company is leaning more and more into the shitty side of partially helping benos, but human greed actually fighting Queen's influence and thus explaining WY behaving the way it does.
    Thats interesting, a dynamic of human nature vs psychic influence across the stars. That would make a good story in alien universe, shit I would read/watch/play.

    Or be CM benomain and explain everything with pseudo-science magic psychic bullshit.

    I can't believe I am hearing this nonsense, a bug with intelligence? have you met one?
    Frankly I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive.
