Explain your rationale fully, even if you feel it goes without saying. --> While exploring reasons why this role was underplayed one of the things that came up was its speed. It is dreadfully slow - to the point where defenders are able to force an engagement against Synthetics. There is no chance to run from anything faster as a Colony Synthetic. Making it have to fight often. Lowering the resistance is something devs wanted, and for gameplay this is good because a Synthetic shouldn't be forced into a fight unless they have no other option. Especially not by something as slow as a defender. Might tweak later but council generally is in agreement with this change. Little by little! For the CQC, a Colony Synthetic is not as advanced as a Shipside one, but still is more than capable of outmanuevering a human. As for the hilarious UPP Pvt being better than a Colony Synth in CQC I will make a separate PR For Fireman, a Synthetic can bend metal, move cars and do many other 'superhuman' feats of stength, they should not struggle at carrying people, especially shouldn't be worse at carrying people than a Marine. It's from 1 to 3, to represent the strength yet aging capabilities of the Colony Synthetic. @morrowwolf forgot this one - doesn't touch WJ # Explain why it's good for the game Less resistance is something devs wanted. Allows Colony Synthetics an option to avoid certain engagements as now they are able to outrun some types of Xenomorphs off-weeds. Defenders should not be able to catch them offweeds. A Synthetic should have no problem carrying something as light as a human being - they especially should not have MORE trouble carrying someone than your standard human doctor. # Testing Photographs and Procedure <details> <summary>Screenshots & Videos</summary> Put screenshots and videos here with an empty line between the screenshots and the `<details>` tags. </details> # Changelog :cl: QuickLoad balance: Colony Synthetics are faster but are less resistant.
