Remove the xeno AI

[Mark9013100]

It really has no purpose other than getting the aliens detected five minutes into the round. IMO It'd be better just to scrap it and make it another larva.

I can't agree more with this.

And the borg too. I have no idea why the xenos need an AI/borg.

I don't have a trouble with the technology as such. Anything, technologically wise, that is added for balancing/practicality will be naturally attributed to the Mala'kak ("Space Jockeys") race, including a robotic infiltration unit capable of communicating with the Xenos.

 

If there are practical issues, such as the AI immediately discovering the Xeno presence, then that is another issue.

Well, the borg just isn't fun to fight against and the AI/borg give the xenos faaar too much scouting power. Xenos are already crazily mobile, they shouldn't also have complete knowledge of any defenses.

 

Quite a few times the xeno AI has simply resorted to screaming rude things over the radio/spamming the voice commands.

 

Having the borg/AI complicates xeno further, a game mode that already has major balance issues.

The borg at least is useful, doing things like shutting off the engine and messing with airlocks, but the xeno AI just doesn't... do anything.

I imagine there are probably plans to expand its role but until it actually has one probably best to just scrap it.
