this looks like a super good thing, people have been wanting alien back and actually working reasonably for a while but this would make a good replacement
currently the only thing we have that's related to SPASS ALIEMS are changelings which spit at people and eat them in a dark corner, but this would be full blown aliens dragging humans away and harvesting them for biomass in some kind of weird assembly line thing
manufacturing weapons is super duper neat, instead of rampaging for the sake of rampaging with your cyalume saber and signal jammer it would motivate them to have teamwork and kidnap humans to arm themselves better plus the fact that they're martians and it's sort of impossible to disguise yourself as an alien would help with recognizing your comrades
not only that though but they wouldn't be rampaging much because the living humans would be better for biomass harvesting so it definitely wouldn't be a storm-in-and-kill-whoever gamemode like every other gamemode is
the only huge concern i have is idiots suicide bombing the mothership or metagaming jerks in pods running around with lasers 2 minutes in and destroying the mothership before anything can happen
would definitely need to give them some sort of aura where people within their field of view can't suicide/succumb to prevent them from getting biomass though; also i'd imagine the amount of biomass necessary would vary relative to server population?
