Alright, so there's nothing wrong with the current hivemind. But its bland, and a lot of people leave the hivemind ASAP. So what im suggesting is an actual large overhaul of the entire mechanic. Where being absorbed would teleport you to a replacement body inside "the hivemind". This would replace the current spectator plus that hivemind gets right now.
This would pretty much just involve there being a physical space for hivemind members go walk around in. From a gameplay POV it would have the large screen that the admins get to watch people but it would be glued to the changeling. of course there would also be a spot to just watch them like before if thats what the hivemind member wants but it would allow for a more individual freedom within the hivemind.
Besides the main point being about making it a physical place there's also some other parts that I would love to see. That being a change to how limb critters work. as of now they work by giving direct control to a limb critter. this instead would make limb critters work like the dets hat. the changeling would be able to give a hivemind member control of a limb which would now be more similar to a drone as the hivemind members would be able to remotely control it while being inside the hivemind. this would allow players to give control of the limbs to each other as control would be done through a VR headset esc way.
The only gameplay change that this would bring to the changeling would be in the form of EXTREME minor heals from the hivemind. What I was thinking was the hivemind members being able to get a set of tools and around the hivemind based on damage type done to the changeling there would be Breakages Physically around the hivemind room. These can be fixed with a context menu to heal between 1-2 of the damage associated with the breakage (toxin, burn, brute)
I think that's pretty much it. physical place for changeling hivemind members to be in. I personally would like it to have different rooms that represent each of its abilities as a nice little feature, plus it would create more areas for the hivemind members to find "breaches" (things to heal the changeling) to repair.
TLDR: make hivemind physical place. make it look nice, limb critter now drone for remote control, tools with use of context menu for repairs on changeling for minimal health healing.
Please give thoughts on this, I definitely want to see what people would like to see with this. I think its important to say that I cannot code this, so its a idea that im throwing out there in hopes of it being caught by someone. That's all, thanks!
