God I hate what Alien: Covenant has done for the Alien franchise. Yes, the first eggs were created artificially, because a chicken can't lay an egg if the chicken didn't hatch from an egg. I do think queens are "natural" (however natural xenomorphs are anymore) because they're oddly specific to simply be a mutation, especially considering other xenomorphs are smart enough not to kill them and listen to their commands. And you went from an animal that creates eggs from biological material to an animal that somehow lays eggs, two not very compatible ways of reproduction to develop naturally from one another.
The reason that there are still drones on Sevastopol is probably because the hive is very young, and the drones are still needed to find victims. It may be more than just simple maturing, only happening under certain circumstances that the queen wants.
I'm getting incredibly sick of your insistence warriors are stupider than drones, and that drones are some sort of master race. If drones are so smart, why do they dip in intelligence in warrior and then become very intelligent as a queen again? And remember than the warriors in Aliens were able to sneak up on the marines in a huge horde twice before attacking, and cut the power to the station. They just have different methods of attacking according to their role in the hive.
And if you think eggmorphing is canon, then xenomorphs should and would be able to make hives, ones that just lack queens. They would take their prey into their hives and attach them to the webbing, and they would turn into eggs, and then new live prey would be taken in so they can be impregnating. Either way, hives are created.
TBH I feel the opposite. I much prefer what Prometheus/Covenant are doing for the series instead of what Aliens did for it. Aliens was just another Starcraft/Starship Troopers/giants space bugs attacking people, which nowadays is very overdone and common. Maybe it was new or at least interesting for 1986, but not for now. At least the prequels are pushing the films back into a more unique niche with "semi-lovecraftian organisms engineered for the destruction of life" instead of "big space bugs making hives everywhere and killing things in the way". Also with the black goo, the prequels restore some of the hopelessness of the original-the goo is something you can't kill, can't fight. And if you happen to avoid it the first time, its various "aftershocks" (neos, etc) will likely kill you.
About the normal adult>warrior, maybe the intelligence is suppressed, allowing them to become more ferocious and in your face as opposed to subtle and stalking. Queens just lose this hyperaggression since all they do is sit around and lay eggs, no need for the extra aggression, allowing for some of their intelligence to come back. Its like being normal, then being very high/in an altered state, then coming down some. Though I do hope at least warriors are retconned in the future, they are visually unappealing vs a normal adult imo, and they make too much confusion. Regarding them cutting the power, I always envisioned the species as being able to somehow "see" electricity, which is how they find you. Maybe they saw a lot of electricity wherever that power system was, and assumed it was the "brain" of something, so they attacked it (because they like to go for the head when fighting, so they possible see the large amounts of electricity in the brain). So in their mind they weren't intentionally cutting power, they were just trying to kill a big organism. Alternatively the hyperaggression is carried on through the queen to ensure its underlings won't be smart enough to try to overthrow the queen, as we never saw dome-headed normal adults in Aliens either, even though we know new aliens were constantly being made. Likewise we also have never seen a loner-type alien encounter a queen, so we don't know how they would act. There is just a lot of gaps in the series regarding the queens, hives, and different adult stages
Also what I mean by why eggmorphing is done is not to form a happy little hive to take over the area, they only eggmorph when they feel they can't kill off all the life in the area, so they call in a back up. But they only eggmorph one or two people at a time since they are not "programmed" to take over the area, they are "programmed" just purge the area then die off/leave to find more prey. And the eggmorphing "nest" was small, quickly-made, and just spanned 1-2 walls and a corner, not the maze of tunnels of other hives, and the xenomorph who did the eggmorphing wasn't staying guard, it was out killing, so they (normal adults) obviously don't have a desire to make huge hives and protect them at all costs. Xenomorphs just say "oh crap i can't kill all these things off in time, I need a backup" not "I want to make a hive to take over this area and stay here forever".
Agreed, we cannot prove either Praes or Queens are no longer canon until an addition to the WYR proves so. Also, as the goo is a surprisingly powerful mutagenic accelerant, who's to say it is a normal mutation caused by the xenomorph's genome being so unstable? Xenomorphs are kinda like the Alien universe's equivalent of an Eevee, the genetic code is so unstable, it can be radically altered by its environment in order to adapt, causing a whole new form to emerge, with similarities to its original form. Though, honestly Cameron should've taken our approach to the queen, by making it retain the DNA changes its previous stages have, such as the beast queen remaining quadrupedal and showing similar features to the Runner alien. Would've made much more sense than a totally independent form relating more to the human created drones.
Preas were never mentioned in the WYR, so I guess that renders them noncanon even before Covenant existed
Also queens do seem to retain some of the host's DNA, going off Fire and Stone. Just all the queens we've seen in the films are all from human hosts and all their underlings also came from human hosts, so they would all look similar obviously. But in FnS, there was a queen trapped in an evac ship, and it looked slightly more like the skeletal monkey organism common in the area, not to mention a large group of xenomorphs that looked to have also come from the monkeys lived nearby. Though its interested they didn't make a hive, just living in this tangle of vines that grew on the outside of the evac ship. Also if Life and Death, FnS's sequel, is also canon, we see a queen that grew in some sort of creature native to Varda, and all its underlings were of a wide variety of shapes and sizes, since they had a more diverse pool of hosts instead of just being in one area with nothing but humans.
Xenomorph "telepathy" is really only addressed in comics and a few noncanon games, so that's probably where they got the idea from. And I always saw it less as a "singular brain controls them all/all can communicate though mind language" and more like an "incredibly loyal wolf pack" in hives, so probably the queen would order its underlings with various sounds, not all of which humans can hear. I also think that xenomorphs produced by a queen are intentionally dumbed down by the queen, to make them easier to control, like compare the assassin-like Big Chap and the Isolation aliens to the essentially suicidal warriors. So eggmorphing/the methods in Prometheus/Covenant=an actually smart organism, egg layed by a queen=dumbed down cannon fodder alien, so think of it like quality vs quantity.
"Quantum entangled" also sounds like a really jargon way of saying "telepathy" as well, and probably a "quantum entangled" mind would also be impossible to create in a biological life form, natural or artificial. Once again it seems like something outside of the scopes of the Alien universe
Though like a "website hivemind" could work, which essentially means where something has such deep (not always good, mind you) feelings about it, it influences other people to think that way, even if they haven't ever meet/seen/experienced that thing (i.e. this show is very popular on this website, to the point newcomers read the comments on it and love the show too, even though they haven't seen the show itself)
You might have a point there. Granted, the Rachni are basically Mass Effect knock offs of Xenomorphs, and technically telepathy doesn't exist in Mass Effect.
The specific word was "Something like a Quantum entanglement communicator" since the Rachni Queens on the Homeworld were able to communicate across the Galaxy with Warrior rachni.
Anyway, I might take a look at that show. And the irony of that is very strong.
As for Prometheus and Covenant, I really don't mind how things have been done with the series and the Morphs, but I do want an official explanation for the Juggernaut on LV 426 and, if David did truly create the Xenomorph species, how did the Xenomorph eggs and ship become fossilized in 20 years?
Yes, I know that the only people who said it was Fossilized were especially Space truckers, but it doesn't require a master's degree to see if an item is Fossilized or not.
I believe that David created the varient we see in Covenant by following the instructions he found in the database on the Juggernaut he was on with Shaw.
But instead of using Engineer DNA, he used Human DNA, specifically Shaw's. His Morphs are more like the original intent of the Engineers for the Xenomorph, but either from the need to Mass produce Xenomorph eggs because of a massive galactic war or a mutation in the Xenomorph genome, the Queen was created.
Dude, the 1.10.2 update isn't out yet publicly, though I can say its very close, only a handful of things need to be fixed. And more than likely, after the initial 1.10.2 update and some new content, specifically Covenant things and maybe a few machines, probably the next update will be to 1.12
Unless we discover a new bug, the only things needed to be fixed are
> item renders when held and dropped
> textures for mist and black goo
> a way to convert 1.7.10 shaped blocks to the new 1.10.2 shaped block system
And all that's said and done, we can get some new content, then later an update to 1.12

That is a point of contention; we like the opposite sides of the series. I like the ever growing hives, with hordes of xenomorphs killing and dragging people to feed the legions, and you like the more small scale killings by an intelligent stalker who just wants everything dead. I like both sides really, but it bothers me they seem to be trying to retcon the hive aspect of Aliens.
But, the show must go on.
Do you think you're diving into your own head canon too much, regarding the Warriors and eggmorphing? Specifically the Warriors thinking the power cables are an animal, which isn't even hinted at. And why the hell would the Queens underlings ever want to overthrow her? That would stop their means of reproduction, and being genetically identical, they would gain nothing from doing that. And I it was confirmed by James Cameron and the crew that the Warriors are suppose to be matured drones, as they've been around for longer. And we don't know if new xenomorphs were being made constantly, only one survivor was found in the hive. She could have hid out like Newt. And we do see a "loner-type" alien (I think, that wording is not very specific) encounter a queen (sorta); the dog/cow drone from A3, who was purposefully protecting the soon to be born queen.
Now dealing with eggmorphing and your head canon getting in the way a bit; we have technically never seen a canon eggmorphing. That scene in Alien couldn't be canon by the dialogue of Aliens, where Ripley doesn't know where the xenomorph eggs come from. And even if that was canon, I think the reason it wasn't a huge hive was because there was only a single drone attending it. And there was no indication it would have stopped building it. And maybe the drone left the eggmorph hive, like the queen in Aliens, because the hive would be destroyed and it would all be for nothing if the humans weren't killed. Alternately, they both fled to safety probably to establish new hives because their original was going to be destroyed anyway. Point; I see no major difference between how the hives are run, plus eggmorphing remains unseen even if it's canon, so we don't know for sure.

I do want to point out that Eggmorphing is still considered canon even if you remove the scene from Alien. The Alien3 Novelization (Which I do believe is considered canon) more or less confirms that Xenomorphs are capable of both having a Queen egg laying and eggmorphing. I haven't read the book myself, mainly becasue I cannot find it in at my bookstore, but I assume is basically becasue the Runner Xenomorph started to eggmorph some of the prisoners while the Queen gestated inside of Ripley.
Another thing I do want to point out, is that at this point in time, all the original Alien films are still canon. The Wayland Yutani Company report released more or less confirms, at the moment, that all the films are still canon even with Prometheus and, baring any changes to the report, Alien: Covenant.
Its more likely that the Queen Xenomorph is an unexpected mutation of the creatures, maybe due to using a sterile but otherwise perfectly healthy reproductively active female human in their creation.
How would this cause something to mutate unexpectedly? Hell if I know, I'm just throwing out ideas.

All three Alien novelizations feature eggmorphing (well, just the same case but told again twice), and aren't canon. In fact, that scene from the Alien 3 novel is actually talking about the scene from Alien, because its canon in that universe. So if that scene wasn't in Alien, it can't be canon with the Alien 3 novel (at least that part). And at the very least, the events of Alien 3 and the novel can't exist simultaneously because of differences, so its not canon in the main movie universe.
I never said any of the original movies were not canon, did I? I don't like certain things about the newer movies, sure, but they're still canon by what we're considering right now (unaltered modern movie canon).
Until confirmed, I don't think the queen is a mutation, but either is just as plausible at this point I guess.
New topic: Do you believe that it is possible to remove a Chestbuster without killing the host?
Cases that we should exclude would be Ripley 8 and a comic where this black mold was infecting the Hive.
Ripley 8 due to the fact that the Xenomorphs have more human DNA than the traditional Xenomorph and Ripley 8 is part Xenomorph with enhanced strength, which could have assisted her in surviving the procedure.
That one comic whose name escapes me is due to multiple factors in the comic, including the Xenomorphs being incredibly weakened and the Chestbuster having died prior to the extraction.

Only theoretically, as any instances other than the ones you mentioned are noncanon, including for some reason AVP2010's Corporal Tequila, who would've had it extracted as she is in stasis until it can be done. It thus will likely remain a theory until a future movie or canonized game proves otherwise.

Can you give an actual source, like the link to the place where an actual dev confirmed it instead of a livestreamer?
Also PC Minecraft =/= console Minecraft. The two are written in vastly different languages, PC in Java (and by extension, this mod is also in Java), and the consoles use C#. I do not believe mods will ever come to console, and even if they did, the mod would have to be made from the ground up in a totally different language. Trying to run a mod made for PC minecraft on any other version of minecraft, even Win10 version would be like trying to play a record in a DVD player, they just aren't compatible.
The closest thing to mods the console and Win10 versions will get is command block and resource pack trickery in the form of "addons", which is far more limited than PC or even PE mods. Also before its mentioned, this mod will never come to PE edition either, once again different coding languages. Also PE wouldn't even be powerful enough to run a mod of this size and detail.
At the moment, is there any way of using the medpod on mobs, or is it player-exclusive?
It works on mobs currently, you just have to shove em into it.

Alternately, they both fled to safety probably to establish new hives because their original was going to be destroyed anyway. Point; I see no major difference between how the hives are run, plus eggmorphing remains unseen even if it's canon, so we don't know for sure.

I do want to point out that Eggmorphing is still considered canon even if you remove the scene from Alien. The Alien3 Novelization (Which I do believe is considered canon) more or less confirms that Xenomorphs are capable of both having a Queen egg laying and eggmorphing. I haven't read the book myself, mainly becasue I cannot find it in at my bookstore, but I assume is basically becasue the Runner Xenomorph started to eggmorph some of the prisoners while the Queen gestated inside of Ripley.
Another thing I do want to point out, is that at this point in time, all the original Alien films are still canon. The Wayland Yutani Company report released more or less confirms, at the moment, that all the films are still canon even with Prometheus and, baring any changes to the report, Alien: Covenant.
Its more likely that the Queen Xenomorph is an unexpected mutation of the creatures, maybe due to using a sterile but otherwise perfectly healthy reproductively active female human in their creation.
How would this cause something to mutate unexpectedly? Hell if I know, I'm just throwing out ideas.
All three Alien novelizations feature eggmorphing (well, just the same case but told again twice), and aren't canon. In fact, that scene from the Alien 3 novel is actually talking about the scene from Alien, because its canon in that universe. So if that scene wasn't in Alien, it can't be canon with the Alien 3 novel (at least that part). And at the very least, the events of Alien 3 and the novel can't exist simultaneously because of differences, so its not canon in the main movie universe.
I never said any of the original movies were not canon, did I? I don't like certain things about the newer movies, sure, but they're still canon by what we're considering right now (unaltered modern movie canon).
Until confirmed, I don't think the queen is a mutation, but either is just as plausible at this point I guess.

Will the update be 1.10 or 1.10.2? (I'd prefer it to be 1.10.2, due to the fact that the 1.10 windows installer is not safe)
The answer you seek is in the title...
*Facepalm* Well, I'm an idiot.
New topic: Do you believe that it is possible to remove a Chestbuster without killing the host?
Cases that we should exclude would be Ripley 8 and a comic where this black mold was infecting the Hive.
Ripley 8 due to the fact that the Xenomorphs have more human DNA than the traditional Xenomorph and Ripley 8 is part Xenomorph with enhanced strength, which could have assisted her in surviving the procedure.
That one comic whose name escapes me is due to multiple factors in the comic, including the Xenomorphs being incredibly weakened and the Chestbuster having died prior to the extraction.
Only theoretically, as any instances other than the ones you mentioned are noncanon, including for some reason AVP2010's Corporal Tequila, who would've had it extracted as she is in stasis until it can be done. It thus will likely remain a theory until a future movie or canonized game proves otherwise.

Curse PremiumCan you give an actual source, like the link to the place where an actual dev confirmed it instead of a livestreamer?
Also PC Minecraft =/= console Minecraft. The two are written in vastly different languages, PC in Java (and by extension, this mod is also in Java), and the consoles use C#. I do not believe mods will ever come to console, and even if they did, the mod would have to be made from the ground up in a totally different language. Trying to run a mod made for PC minecraft on any other version of minecraft, even Win10 version would be like trying to play a record in a DVD player, they just aren't compatible.
The closest thing to mods the console and Win10 versions will get is command block and resource pack trickery in the form of "addons", which is far more limited than PC or even PE mods. Also before its mentioned, this mod will never come to PE edition either, once again different coding languages. Also PE wouldn't even be powerful enough to run a mod of this size and detail.

At the moment, is there any way of using the medpod on mobs, or is it player-exclusive?
It works on mobs currently, you just have to shove em into it.

I have a bug report for the latest version of the mod. Whenever the Xenos evolve, they stay at 30 health. (Ex: The Praetorian is supposed to have 100 hp, but it stays at 30.)
Not sure why you would use it on Mobs. I usually just use mobs as Xenomorph breeding stock.
I use it with them just to show it works. Like if your fave pet wolf gets impregnated and you want to save it, shove it in.

I built a city with MCA, and it would be a shame if it all goes down because a facehugger sneaks in and impregnates someone.
