As stated on the 3rd of October, I wanted to start a process of creating a series of polls and discussions regarding individual systems in this faction.
This is the first thread for this process. The topic for this thread is: The Escape System
willard.network
The Freed Vortigaunt Process is a ancient series of compromises that was created to appease both Combine Factions and the Vortigaunt Factions and to close loopholes that either faction could abuse. Its complexity has increased over time and also decreased (large chunks of the document was removed) but generally I have never done anything that resembles a full rework to how Vortigaunt Escapes work.
Since the current version is about as complex as it can possibly get there will be no poll answer to make escapes harder as they are already rather hard. Instead I shall present you with the status quo and three alternative options:
1. Status Quo
2. Status Quo but OOCly restrict the response force to only one wave
3. Status Quo but enforce the Removal of OTA (Which are currently the weakened Grunts) from escapes.
4. No Escape System (the collar is not attached to dispatch and can be removed if a couple of Freed Vortigaunts zap it or someone with high enough technical skill and good rp if approved by application of course).
The results of this poll will not be implemented immediately (or perhaps ever) and will have to go through discussion with the Faction Leads of other factions or the Community Managers. Additionally, non-vortigaunts are free to answer the poll above but your vote will be publicly visible.
Feel free to discuss this.
