If that was a choice, then they would of just made super-chryssalids the size of planets.

Oh, Earth? It's a chryssalid now.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

X-Com's only solution: Destroy the Earth. That way no alien will ever conquer it!

FINALLY a mission where you have to DELIVER a nuke into the earth's core instead of trying to stop it!

Never has a situation been more encompassed by the figure of speech "drop in the bucket" than nuking the Earth's core.

Nuking the sun is like...throwing a pebble at Mount Everest and expecting it to fall apart.

In other words, an excellent plan.

Why would that be the case? Wouldn't sapient species tend towards low numbers of high-quality offspring?

Why would they? Why would "less" intrinsically mean "better"? We humans don't owe our sapience to our reproductive method, nor is it an evolution of something lesser from our relevant past.

Can doesn't mean did, and their engineering has repeatedly been shown to be somewhat more complicated than that; they couldn't fully disguise Thin Men in NuCOM, and apparently couldn't or didn't want to copy & paste all of their current goons' advantages into each other. That seems to leave quite a bit of room for odd aesthetic choices.

It would be far too strange (and hentai-like) for aliens to develop an aesthetic preference for human breasts, to the point of wasting scientific resources to purposefully replicate them on one of their combat species.

Actually, the rightmost image shows them trailing up towards the head suspiciously, which strongly suggests venom sacs to me.

That doesn't mean they couldn't have been mammary glands just because of scales or genetic engineering, and it's unlikely to do a great deal against my demented headcanon, though.

Can't judge your headcanon, of course. Just saying mammary glands don't make any sense for this species. Could it still happen? Yes, but I don't find it plausible, personally.

Let's face it, the function of the snaketits isn't actually important, as long as they look enough like tits. Humans as a general rule really dgaf.

Guys those snaketits don't have nipples. Whatever their function its not for feeding offspring.

My guesses as tto whet they might be:

1 - Offspring
Snakeladies can vomit up up to 2 eggs that hatch into tiny sneks.

2 - Venom sacks
Self explanatory.

3 - Extra armor grafted under the skin protecting the heart and several vital organs (extra trolling if the autopsy sayd the "armor" is soft and springy unless hit with enough force that causes it to instantly harden)

Okay that too. Similar enough superficially. I don't know of any particular reason why they wouldn't be.

And so does the attacker.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Have you touched both a snake and a boob? Very different textures.
