Fiorina Riot In Progress: Colonial Marshals & United Americas Police (#…
…6022) <!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may not be viewable. --> # About the pull request Howdy, this PR adds in unique Riot Response flavored CMB Deputies and UA Riot Police to a Survivor Nightmare(thx badatthisgame302) on Fiorina Science Annex. Because this is a survivor nightmare I kept the loadouts very sparse, so you will only find a couple mags of ammo per weapon, and all participants here will likely have to resort to their sidearm. It is implied that by the time players control these characters, they've been surviving for hours if not days. Furthermore, because its a riot response, there are no specialists (engineers, doctors, etc.) to help the support side of things. After all, it is just a riot call.. PS. If you haven't read the Alien: Isolation comic yet, something similar is implied there. :) On the CMB side we have 3 variations and a Synthetic. These investigative federal agents are nimble on their feet, but inadequately protected and their weapons are more focused on self defense. They were sent here as emergency back-up to the understaffed prison, and aren't prepared for this scenario. They do however still carry some rubber munitions and crowd control elements. On the UA side we have 4 variations and a Synthetic. The infamous United Americas Riot Control Police show with four variations. Donned in complete riot gear and with uniformity, they would seem like an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately for them, they're dealing with Xenomorphs - all of their crowd control devices and nonlethal munitions may prove to be very ineffective at dealing with this new threat at hand.. # Explain why it's good for the game Adding meaningful and fitting equipment really adds to the immersion. Its not just a setting but it envokes the real feeling of "We came here to stop a riot, but we found something much more sinister." By giving players these settings to play with, they'll feel much more at home in the Aliens universe as opposed to the looming feeling of it being "just another round, just another role." I think CM really benefits from spicing up the loop and nightmares are an excellent example of that. Having lore accurate, flavorful layouts like this where you have a consistent theme going allows for excellent immersion. Even if everyone dies, the Marines stumbling upon the corpses of a horrific incident like this will be a really unique experience, in my opinion. # Testing Photographs and Procedure <!-- Include any screenshots/videos/debugging steps of the modified code functioning successfully, ideally including edge cases. --> <!-- !! If you are modifying sprites, you **must** include one or more in-game screenshots or videos of the new sprites. !! --> <details> <summary>Screenshots & Videos</summary> Basically I created a new file for these fine people and added what I think is thematically fitting for this scenario. I then tested it, fixed bugs, and then tested it again. This happened 3 times until I could no longer find any bugs. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1042176396711170119/1222482124771430460/image.png?ex=66166033&is=6603eb33&hm=69719c33b5d811033f62cba605d5ba6e044c4cdd8f7056c50e49e9523e7ce3f8& </details> # Changelog <!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely observed by players or admins you should add a changelog.

Maintainers freely reserve the right to remove and add tags should they deem it appropriate. --> :cl: add: Adds 3 variations of CMB Marshal and 4 variations of a UA Riot Police Officer to Fiorina Prison Riot nightmare. These are fine men and women in uniform prepared to engage what they suspect is a riot(or in the case of CMB, assisting their underfunded and understaffed colleagues) however, they find something much more sinister going on.. add: Adds a CMB Investigative Synthetic(r) and a UA Police Synthetic. add: Allows police baton and telescopic baton to shield clash for intimidation and riot tactics. add: Allows M81 launcher to utilize less lethal baton round qol: removes taser from some security synthetics belts, replaced with a more synthetic friendly version /:cl: <!-- Both :cl:'s are required for the changelog to work! --> --------- Co-authored-by: SabreML <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Drathek <[email protected]>
