Please use a few more punctuation marks. It's pretty hard to read what you write.

Don't know about this idea. Any insights about this, pros and cons?

F-mod has this feature.

Sorry i was in a hurry.
Pros
Dont have to risk your arse to get orbs.
aliens bring them to you .
Interesting killing floors/zones.

Cons
Very slim chance of getting aliens to drop them.
the aliens that do drop em explode damaging anything in, ohhhh lets say a 5x5.
and the aliens that are gonna drop em have a much higher hp than the others .


I cant think of any other ones, if you can please enlighten me

I think if the chance is low enough, the hard part is setting up the mechanism required to pick them up automatically, you don't need the exploding

That's also a disadvantage.

I would bind this to an researchable technology. That way, it needs to be researched only, if you really have problems gaining alien eggs, which sometimes happens.

i do cause i play on the death worlds with little resources
