Pissed Ape Sexist posted:I've thought about this way too much and I'd assume they don't need them. The queen ant's need to mate is to maintain diversity in the lineage and foster a population that's more robust and adaptable to the environment in the long term, but what about an organism that borrows genetic diversity whole cloth from their hosts? A queen would be born from a host unique to the organism/population to which the host was already adapted, and each drone would share the diversity of the established population of individual hosts. Genetic diversity is built into the colony by default because of their reliance on a provably successful population of genetically diverse hosts, which removes the need for seeking mating/diversification and relieves the evolutionary pressures on the xenos to make them even more efficient. Xenos would get to jump the line and 'steal' adaptations that took eons to evolve. Perfection. loving bitches, amirite?

I always figured the super jacked alien from the nest in Aliens was it, for some reason he looked different from the rest.

They couldn't fit 95 darts and keep the profile. I do wish they included an additional magazine.

Ordered the pulse rifle for my son's dorm room. I'm hoping that release date is in the European style of DD/MM/YYYY. January makes more sense that a 14 month preorder window.

I saw that as "my son's dorn room," like a shrine set up to Michael Dorn. I'm actually surprised he hasn't done any voice work for any Alien games.
