Stats

[ZERO]

Oh actually I like what your suggesting and that does account for playtime. If we had triggers like:

ZERO <ibis> triggered Death_Onos

Then I lose 75 points

However:

ZERO <ibis> triggered Killed_Onos

I gain 75 points


Then the stats are directly reflective of the res exchange value for what is going on.

Yeah that's pretty much what I had in mind, numbers of course vary depending on life form. Is there a way to track the res exchange for marines though? Like dying as a marine with a jetpack and a shotgun would cost me 30 points? Jetpack (10) + shotgun (20)

what about things like welders/clots and the like?

Shotguns will only be 10res b/c that is what they are actually worth. In some cases the amounts may very based on my discression of what the real balance should be. I do not want to create a situation where players do not want to tech up but instead are encuraged to play the game in the way that it is intended.

For example points for power nodes will very depending on what was in the room.

I don't play as marine often lol. Yes though, the actual values would need to be heavily scrutinized to not only prevent people from not etching but also new ways of rank manipulation.

it seems the balance between aliens and marines would be quite difficult.
