====Last Chance==== | |||
For when you are well and truly fucked. Creates a small silent explosion, gibs your current body, and spawns a headcrab -- a creature that infects nearby crew much like an [[xenomorph|alien]] larva. The changeling egg grows into a monkey changeling after ~180 seconds. | |||

* As a changeling, the absolute best item for you to get is a wallet (From the crew quarters, in either cabin's personal closet, in the leather satchel.) It goes in your ID slot and holds up to 4 ids, all of which work for automatic access and none of which change your mouse over identity. | * As a changeling, the absolute best item for you to get is a wallet (From the crew quarters, in either cabin's personal closet, in the leather satchel.)

* Only take | * Only take a few abilities at round start! Once you take an ability, it is locked in unless you husk someone. Husking someone is time-consuming, leaves obvious evidence, sort of dickish, and if anyone interrupts you then you're boned. If you leave a few slots open, though, you can easily adapt to whatever shit you find yourself in. | ||
* Get your debraining tools from the autolathe, not surgery. They're all craftable there, it's easier to get to, and Medbay doesn't complain. "Get" here probably means "steal" unless you're cargo. | * Get your debraining tools from the autolathe, not surgery. They're all craftable there, it's easier to get to, and Medbay doesn't complain.

* Transformation Sting is robust. Not only does it confuse the fuck out of people and is silent, but it's easier to hide in a forest than on an open plain. Make 555 of the guy you are changing into for more genomes. Transform the guy you are husking/impersonating into someone else, so you're the only one. Transform a ling who is caught if the scene is chaotic enough that he might escape. The possibilities are endless. ADDED: Wear some generic clothes from arrivals or locker room. Then if somebody's chasing you, run out of their line of sigh, quickly transform and run backwards. | * Transformation Sting is robust.

* Keep in mind that if you space yourself and let your corpse husk from the burn damage you'll still be a husk when you get back up. You can clear this effect by transforming to another form and back again. You could also buy voice changing and play a zombie. | * Keep in mind that if you space yourself and let your corpse husk from the burn damage you'll still be a husk when you get back up.

* If you get cryostung as a Security Officer, remove your armor and helmet. REMOVE THEM. Or else you will die. Sec armor has somehow some heattampering properties, which means you won't heat up as much as you would normally be, and will consequently die of cold. Same goes if you are wearing an hardsuit/space protective gear/anything that could have thermal properties. If you get cryo'd, REMOVE THOSE THINGS ASAP. | * If you get cryostung as a Security Officer, remove your armor and helmet. REMOVE THEM. Or else you will die.
