Facehugger "Disease"

It works way too fast with no sign of infection until you're fifteen seconds away from getting your insides turned upside down. Considering the inherently chaotic nature of alien rounds to begin with (and the fact that they can literally tie you to a bed of resin to keep you from surgically removing the parasite) I'd say we could stand to have the timer increased significantly with more warning signs. After all, you're literally incubating an alien larva.

I could get behind this. I would appreciate more physical warnings, like You feel something slipping down your throat! or Something in your stomach is shifting around...

please don't take this out of context

Apparently Nursie is all for feeling something slipping down her throat.

I do agree for more phyiscal warnings. CM has them. Why can't we. They have seizures and such when it gets to be time for you to get rekt.

I.... Missed.... An alien round? Dammit!

But yes, similar to the CM server, we should be given a few tells, and security as well.

Such as vomiting, increased hunger, stomach pains, and occasionally a message until you eventually pop if you don't get to Medbay.

As it stands I believe you get infected, and knocked out for a couple minutes, then you OOCly know what's about to happen, but there are no IC tells. So you run to Medbay and they don't see the urgency until it's too late.

This mechanic wouldn't be terrible if the popped crew member had priority to be an alien (minus the fact that SOMEONE will purposefully get infected) if they have their preferences on. So they're not necessarily taken out of the round. And the alien larvae should cause your body to become unclonable, or turn you into a permanent larvae incubator if you do get cloned.

I agree with all of this

Pls no.

I was going to say "no" as well.

Chestbursting damages a fair deal of the internal organs, rips, punches and tears through the sternum and ribcage as well as spreading enzymes throughout the body that cause cancerous cysts to pop up to ensure certain death, but it has little to do with the brain. As long as the brain is still intact, a cloning can still take place without complications given the cloning system works on time-regressive back-ups.
