Preliminary title: either Quarantine or Lockdown. Let me know which title you prefer. Possibly Diaspora depending on which direction i take the set flavor wise.
Setting: This will determine if the set will be Quarantine/Lockdown or Diaspora. If the set has to do with multiple planets being infected, then Diaspora. If the set has to do with a single planet being infected, then Qt/LD. The primary difference will depend on how I integrate and explain the Outcast Predators.
Outcast Predators will be the focal point of the new set, in the framework of the human colonies being overrun by the aliens. I haven't decide how to explain them being involved yet.
The idea I have for outcasts is as follows: no alternate win conditions. Every time an outcast kills a character, he gains Bloodlust. Bloodlust is like a 2nd combat pool, used for effects unique to Outcasts. I may do it as either 1 bloodlust per kill, or as follows: 1 bloodlust for a Supporting Character or face hugger/chest burster kill, 2 Bloodlust for a human/alien warrior/hybrid/molted/synthetic main character, 3 bloodlust for predator/queen/newborn main characters.
I was thinking that Outcasts would have rules for solo or hunting pack, up to 3 total members, based on some other prereq rather than honor.
So far i have plans for outcast only equipment as well,

By the way, some of the planet setting i've been thinking of are an ice moon orbiting a gas giant, with mineral mines, possibly the infestation of gateway station, or a nature preserve planet, with recently extinct/endangered on earth animals, and new hybrid aliens.

That would be good a Safari Planet, umm i heard of that before, sounds familiar  Jeff |

a planet like that is the easiest way to add a variety of new animals without rehashing the atmosphere set.
(also, that idea has 1 major problem: getting images of alien hybrids. Kenner toys are the only idea I have.)

Best bet for images would definatley be the Kenner comics. You also got the 'whale' like swimming aliens in Aliens:Colonial Marines comic that lived under the Kelp Fields. Thats all I can think of off the top of my head |

 I'm done with hosting things on geocities, because geocities is fail. I need an image of the croc hybrid from batman vs aliens, if anyones got one. The only one i can find online has a seam from the binding running down the middle of the image, effectively ruining it. |

 Comparison of Mantis Hybrids, with different sized art, using a variation of the real alien MC template. I'm undecided between a variation like this, or the rebuilt one I used on the 5 Hybrids image. I want the mantis' image to have the pincher arms in frame, but if i resize the comic page to make that fit, the image quality goes to hell. |

Croc Hybrid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=883YRK_UKnAIt is a YouTube video, but with some trickiness you should probably be able to grab the image. Also, the picture with the book seam is still usable as a head shot. |

the sad part is that it is black and white. I'm going to keep my options open for now. I'll see if someone on avp galaxy has the comic and can scan me an image, maybe.

oh, also, need to figure out what to use as the Mantis' host. I think the mantis was the best hybrid kenner did, personally, and i really want it in the CCG if i can manage it.
any ideas?
The best idea i can come up with is some thorny, pincher wielding, alien insect. But i'd need a picture.

Also, the Mantis Alien could be a mutation, not a hybrid.

I thought about going the mutation route, or making it a molted alien, and i'm not thrilled with either one.
I'd like the mantis it is hybridized from to be a bit more sinister, and look a lot less like an earth mantis, and more like an alien. (not a avp alien, just alien alien.)
