Xenomorph and Yautja revisions

[Colonel_Krukov]

I think that the xenomorphs and Predators should be upgraded and here's why:

• A fight between a xenomorph and a young blood Yautja clearly shows that they fight against each other. The Xenomorph tanked several blows and was able to penetrate its helmet with its inner jaw, piercing its skull. I'm not sure if a speed upgrade is warranted for being able to keep up in combat. Also shown is a Xenomorph detecting an invisible Predator.
• Maybe a case of aim dodging, but a smarter nethead dodges the blasters of the Predator
• Predators have a special Acid that's stronger than the Xenomorphs that is used to hide the traces of Xenomorph influence. (Blue liquid) http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Dissolving_Liquid
• Xenomorphs have a resistance to their own Acid, on the outer layer of skin
• Apparently the more elite Predators have a special armour that's resistant to Xenomorph blood, although it doesn't cover the whole body. http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Armor_(Predator)
• Predators live up to 1000 years (Longevity)
• Predator ship capable of penetrating thick ice. http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Mother_Ship
• Xenomorph dodges plasma rounds (Alien Resurrection) https://youtu.be/14Mf_nTyWBc
• https://youtu.be/DZFydcYiOtQ Resistant to molten lead
• http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Bio-Mask Can mimic voices, Thermal vision, EM vision, invisible targets, analyzation of health and armor weaknesses, ultraviolet, vision which shows electrical currents and a neural vision which shows the mood of the Predator's prey, pheromone vision, and a sound based vision that can be used to detect heartbeats.
• https://youtu.be/ohGIbZZD8Pg Predators have some form of shields
• Weapons include:http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Netgu, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Combistick, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Wristblades, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Plasmacaster, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Energy_Flechette, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Sat-Com, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Medicomp, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Plasma_Pistol, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Glaive, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Maul, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Smart_Disc, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Shurike, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Whip, http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Predator_Mines

My track record with revisions is poor, and I am not returning either, so...

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

I think that this seems reasonable.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Same here. I agree with Matt and therefore CK

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

The blaster thing isn't aim dodging, since the Xenamorph moves after it was fired. Seems like a solid reaction feat.

The rest also seem reasonable.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

While this is still active, I'd like to point out that Pred's durability needs to be bumped up to at least Building level, since lightning strikes (which we have on-record as being a thing that Preds can tank without being fazed) are low-end Building level, not Small Building level.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

I think that the suggested upgrades need to be applied, but I don't know the verse very well and am unsure which pages need edits.

 

[Antvasima]

I also think that this seems fine.

Btw: Hi Krukov. Nice to see you back here.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Bumping this.

Which profiles need to be edited? Only the Xenomorph and Predator profiles?

 

[Colonel_Krukov]

Some other variants of the Xenomorph (Queen, warrior etc) should obviously scale. Possibly Ripley 8 too?

 

[TISSG7Redgrave]

Seems to be reasonable though idk much i feel its legit

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

I added the resistances to Xenomorph and the Weaponry to Predator.

But will all Xenomorphs be 9-A now scaling from a Predator?

 

[Colonel_Krukov]

Well, these Predators were only young bloods, but a predator is still a predator. To my knowledge I can't think of anything that contradicts this.

I'm not sure if a calc can be done on the energy required to bust through a hard hat and skull. (This is done by the Predalien in AVP 2 in the power plant). We also see a nethead drone penetrate through a young blood's mask and skull. (The helmet is a lot weaker to higher ranked Predator, but it's still impressive).

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Perhaps Young Predators are Room level, and not Small Building level+ ?

 

[Colonel_Krukov]

I think Prom should look into this. I trust her with having enough knowledge and I know she get get this done properly.

What's the word on the calcs?

 

[Antvasima]

You can ask Promestein to respond here if you wish.

 

[Follow_Doctor_Freeman]

Bump, I guess. This looks good from my knowledge of the verse, so I'm on board with this.

Also, hi, dude!
