ThrakhathSpawn Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Shouldn't the name of this operation be changed? I find it confusing. Does the dev team know it is a Colicoid Queen they created? Should the object of the queen be changed to match the operation name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rion_Starkiller Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) The (somewhat thin, mostly unexplained) premise is that Malorra needed a sturdier hive queen to birth an army of geonosians. There's a codex entry after you beat her. Personally, I think a level designer used the wrong model, and they had to adjust. I have this entire inner monologue of Charles Boyd checking out MattP's work and going "Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah. That's a colicoid, not a geo queen!" It doesn't bother me like it used to. If you look up geonosian queen on wookiepedia, you'll see how small she actually is. So it seems plausible. Colicoids are cooler than geonosians anyway. They are very Starship Troopery Edited April 9, 2019 by Rion_Starkiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulsutherland Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 They should have used Colicoids on Ossus. Maybe Malora feels bad from watching her fellow imps slaughter these creatures on Balmorra so she's moved them to a new 'safe' location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Malora feels bad from watching her fellow imps slaughter these creatures on Balmorra so she's moved them to a new 'safe' location. This would actually make perfect sense. One of the daily heroics on Balmora allows you to actually speak with a Colicoid leader, who is sorry that the scientists had stopped experimenting on them. He gladly hands over all the data on the project to the Empire. It would be an easy jump from that to new experiments on Ossus with imported subjects.

ThrakhathSpawn Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 It'd be nice if they could fix it one way or the other, make it Colicoids for all the other spawns, and change the name; or make the queen a Geonosian I like the idea of a hidden Colicoid hive by her Darthness.
