About the pull request

BASE STATS

health : 350 (-200)
Plasma Pool : 840 (+240)
armor : 10 (-5)
slash damage : ~
speed : XENO_SPEED_SLOWMOD_TIER_1
slash speed : 2 (+2 - slower then spitter)

Balance

Sniper Strain is meant to be balanced off of plasma costs so it can't endlessly harass marines from out of view.
Ideas: make sniper glow so their easier for marines to hit if they get to close.
TODO: make sniper shots look different so marines can identifier a sniper.

TLDR: Spamming all spits YOU ARE NOT DOING MORE DAMAGE then base spitter spamming its only hit. The only exception is walls, but even cades take more damage from just spitter spam.

Pros:
Long range sight (Binocular sight) and spits
Strong single hit attacks
Good armor pierce
Good speed increase
Cons:
Massive plasma cost
Less armor and health
Longer CDs
Less dps and less damage per plasma
All Delayed attacks
Slower movement

Cost : 25
CD : 2.5s
Damage : 20, 1 falloff
Range : 12

Explain why it's good for the game

Spitter and sentinel have no strains and leaves itself for the same gameplay. This adds a strain that attempts to give xeno's something that can add value beyond high dps or high health.

the caste has too many abilities . also i am almost certain that xenos doing damage out of screen was supposed to be a nono aside from T3 boiler

Probably should remake different spits into one spit and then just have an ability that cycles between different types of spit. See how queen's spit work, you can switch between neuro and acid.
