There should be some indication on the xeno examine text of the comms relay that you can do this, I think - especially since the changelog doesn't say how. Maybe there could also be a xeno announcement when the ability becomes available. |

Not fully deleting when hijacking <- done |

What stops xenos from not hijacking until they get as much larva as possible? |

Usual disclaimer: Not trying to ignore review just don't want to go touching stuff before finalizing the direction I want to go after seeing it in game a bit. Will get to review probably later this week, thank you guys you are the best 🙏 |
# About the pull request Comms no longer only on USMC minimap, now shown for all. (esp Xenos) # Explain why it's good for the game With PR #3985, Xenos now need to know where comms are. As such, it makes sense for minimap to allow for more people to see the comms. I set it so ALL can see it, but if we want it so only USMC and Xenos can see it, that can be done. # Changelog :cl: ui: Xenos (and others) now see comms relays on minimap /:cl:

About the pull request
This PR:
Allows xenos to capture comms relays after 90 minutes into the game.
Once a comms relay is captured, each comm relay gives 10% of the current hive total every five minutes. (Note: I'd like more impact, this is just part 1)
To capture a comms relay you must place a cluster nearby. This cluster then morphs into a pylon with CAS/mortar protection.
Explain why it's good for the game
After a certain point in the game it can stale due to sieging or otherwise failure for either side to want to fight. This should create urgency and change the focus of the round if stagnating.
