New Sprite for Empresses.

Post by Mister Jeether » 26 Feb 2017, 20:53

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):well,a new sprite would allow to noticeably distinguish Queens from Empresses,In Fact,Empresses have around twice the size of a queen and have a different skin color then normal queens have.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):It would be something innovative and new to the server,As well help to identify queens from empresses,since their differences are quite big.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):I already mentioned the benefits that could have in the last sentences, It would be something new to the server, since the empresses are actually a type of '' evolution '' or the phase of the life of a queen.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):Sprites couldn't be hard at all to implement, they are sprites.

Does sound cool but it's not really necessary maybe if someone finds enough time for it I'm neutral on it for now

Eh, to me it sounds like if you're gonna sprite a whole new evolution to the queen you might as well go all the way and give her more abilities too or a more drastic tangible change in strength instead of the usual. In order to warrent such a major visual change, maybe make screech radius larger?
Or decrease default screech radius so queen is less of a frontline combatant and more eggin deep in her hole. That is, until Empress gets old screech radius and the beast emerges!

That went a bit off topic... eh fuck it, why not? It's only new content and prettier visuals. +1

I'm a sucker for some sexy new sprites, I'd also fully support minor sprite changes when aliens go from Young -> Mature -> ETC because it would not only make them seem more badass but also help marines discern more dangerous xenos faster.

It would be neat if the Queen looks somewhat badass but still weak.

But when she hits Empress she turns total badass.

Not sure how that would look, though I +1 any changes the spriters do (Gorgol) since they've done a good job so far.

Lorewise, the empress should definitely look different to a generic queen.
