Vgstation13: Snekpeople

[Midaychi]

Description of suggestion

Sneks!
More seriously though, a suggestion for a new playable species:

1. Breathes oxygen
2. Consists of 1 mob, with two trailing non-dense "tail" entities following behind mimicing their last two tile movements. Ie: Move north and then west, trailers would move north twice and be at a right angle.
3. Other mobs can buckle themselves to the tail to 'grab on', and you can shake them by resisting. Greytide into battle with up to two other jerks welding weapons riding behind you.
4. Damaging the tail damages the "legs" of the mob, but shooting at the tail directly only has a 25% chance of hitting whereas shooting at the mob directly is normal. Melee is unchanged
5. Doors tend to close on the tail mobs causing damage
6. Coil verb/hud button, that causes the two trailers to converge, so you can take 1 chair instead of 3 at the bar
7. Slightly faster grab upgrading when coiled.
8. Remove 'legs' in surgery to remove the tail, replace with robot legs to make them simply just another reptilian scum.

Sneks or snek people? Very important.

[Midaychi]

Why not both? They need a "monkey form", after all.

Dangerously furry

[Ephx1]

jesus christ no
this is almost skeleton tier

[Aurantiaco]

have you been watching monster musume
fuck you furry

[Konater]

Miia is the best girl

[kol1th]

@Konater Time to code sneks.

[SkowronX]

no

[Orangerush]

Don't listen to these queers +1

[9600bauds]

that's it I'm making a new tag

[ComicIronic]

WYCI

RIP all issues.

[kol1th]

@ComicIronic wonder if we'll get below 1000 issues if WYCI issues are tagged/removed

[Exxion]

On the one hand, interesting mechanic ideas
On the other, good fucking luck getting someone to code all that
Bonus third hand: Oh god imagine all the shitposting

[PJB3005]

Okay @9600bauds fuck off.

You're literally making meme tags for the sake of meme tags now, it doesn't add any comical value. [Honk] and [100% Tested] are fine because they have a specific function in meme-ing, [WYCI] serves all the purposes of [Feature Request].

[Orangerush]

Why not make sneks random replacement for xenos? I mean the first two forms are already sneks just evolve into bigger sneks

@PJB3005 THIS family computer

[9600bauds]

I am at fault for not elaborating, but I tagged WYCI as "content requests" that would require significant effort and expand on something that isn't already in the game. Whereas a feature request could be "make this menu less shit" or "please change this balance thing".
I didn't make a new tag for memes and haha lols, I do think the Feature Request tag was getting terribly bloated and needed to have the more far-fetched ideas separated.

[PJB3005]

In that case don't fucking replace feature request, use both.

[9600bauds]

Why? That's a bit bloatey
If you want to search for both feature requests and killette's brilliant ideas, you can click on both tags

[NigglyWiggly]

God no

[icantthinkofanameritenow]

Go back to XCOM general.

[Blithering]

Only if the snake's tail grows longer every time it eats, and any snake instagibs the moment it touches it's own or any other tail.
