What would be a good upside?

Post by ExtraCheesyPie »

So I'm making a suggestion thread, and I had an idea for a Race that doesn't breathe air, and can only stay in oxygen-filled rooms for 45 seconds before suffocating. What would be a good upside to this?

Well, that would be your upside, right? It would make you effectively immune to boarders. It would also mean they could never board anyone else.

make them like the volus or quarian. they can breathe in zero oxygen atmospheres because of an exo-suit, but they are weak in combat

It's meant to be bad, as your entire crew except them breathe air. You can easily board, as long as you don't stay on the ship for longer than 45 seconds, but theyre perfect for auto-ships.

They only begin suffocating after 45 seconds of not being in space, and the meter beside them recharges quickly
