Your Feature Request / Idea
I love the fact that the Secrets of Dr. Wu DLC finally gave us a way to make our Indominus rex camouflage, but I still think the Indominus should be able to socialize with Velociraptors as well, which is why I'm proposing an optional Velociraptor Social Gene for the Indominus rex be added in a future update or DLC. Here's how I think it should work:
Much like the Adaptive Camouflage Gene, I think the Velociraptor Social Gene should only detract 5% from Viability, but could be located under the existing Social tab in the Indominus rex's gene modification menu.
When applied, the gene would not only give the Indominus the simple ability to perform the Socializing behavior with Velociraptors in its paddock, but would also make the Indominus be considered another Velociraptor by said raptors. This would cause the following differences in interaction between the two species:
1. The Indominus would count towards the Social count of the Velociraptors in its enclosure. Example: Assuming the Velociraptors don't possess any Social gene modifications, you could only comfortably keep 5 Velociraptors in the same enclosure as the Indominus since the Indominus would cause the Velociraptor Social limit to cap at 6.
2. The Indominus would be considered the Alpha member of the Velociraptor Social group as long as it is present in the same enclosure.
3. Due to its Alpha status, the Velociraptors would follow the Indominus' actions, such as Eating, Drinking, Sleeping, and attacking fences together when the Indominus is stressed.
4. If the Velociraptor Social cap is met, the raptors will have Territory disputes with the Alpha Indominus rex over control of the pack. If the Indominus is already the Alpha however, the raptor is simply scared away.
5. Most importantly, the Velociraptors will not Panic when around the Indominus rex as they usually would with an unmodified Indominus. If nothing else, this last point should definitely be implemented along with the actual Socializing behavior.
