[Balance Talk] Fixing Airlock, if possible

Aw… Lesser challenge…

Queen’s Passive disables anothet Parasite to spawn, so if you force an Ambassador to appear every time you have a Queen, then you will also have to force a Predator to appear.

Yeah, basically what I said about Warp Phase 2 conversion would help.
In case the crewmen decided to airlock someone both at Day 1 and Day 2, that is.

should probably change it so that warriors are guaranteed to have predator

So what if Predator doesn’t kill?

No
Ambassador does not force both main factions to appear
It just makes that a possibility.

then they’re fucked because they lose on secret destination

The problem with the greenchecks is that the converts are quite likely to fail or just be rubbish mechanically (who would ever want a security over a biologist)
So giving Queen the ability to convert more puts less mech favor in greenchecked people

Hm… Yeah, this is fine.

informant is the only warrior that has the secret destination wincon and it’s not guaranteed to spawn

Also
If we don’t cap Biologists’ cure, it’s basically a better cop

…? Isn’t that already the case?

aliens are meant to infiltrate town and benefit from uncertainty while warriors are in your face aggressive and want to kick you to the curb as soon as possible

I know, but I just read that you wanted to add an Ambassador every time you rand a Queen, and that post is my response to that.

fair

I feel like this is the problem in FoL as well
Masterminds could roll no converts
(Which is why I suggested a nerf to Court Wizard + potential to conv neutrals)

oh

I mean you kind of need to at the current state of the game
Queen only has one convert that isn’t refundable
If she fails it she’s the only Alien on her team for the entire game unless she somehow gets biologist

How come? Elaborate with me.
Nowhere does it say that Predator has to spawn alone. Why can’t Predator spawn with Informant?
Why are the aliens fucked if Predator doesn’t kill on the first Warp Phase?

Then just make sure that Quartermaster and Transporter Chief dies ASAP and have one of the Warriors pull off a Queen fakeclaim to stir up chaos.

As long as the crewmen are paranoid enough, they will never let the Navigator let the ship reach its final destination.

Oi. It is simply a better Cop, so just live with it.
I get that you want to nerf that role because I randed with it and you got it at the end, but that doesn’t mean that you can nerf it to oblivion immediately.

Nerf it down step by step, won’tcha?

it can
but it’s not guaranteed at all

It’s already got a cop
And the whole point of us trying to guarantee Queen’s converts are wasted if the Biologist can just go on an anti-convert spree

The ability should be used wisely
Not for the fun of it
And it should be nerfed if we’re nerfing Biologists’ convert potential too
