Make higher aliens more "loud" in the hivemind
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Currently only Queen is speaking special in the hivemind chat.
As there are no other channels others currently have the same size and font, be it Larvae or Crusher.
I propose higher iteratons to use bigger font, or otherwise be more easily distinguishable in chat, akin to Marine comms system.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Will help aliens to coordinate packs and efforts, especially but not limited to Queen dead/SSD.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Pretty simple- higher castes will more easily form a "nucleus" and coordinate the hierarchy.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Make higher tiers speak more noticeably, in colour or font size, or any other way that is easy to notice BUT not confusing with Queen.

+1 it is easier with marines side to hear commander, SL's, XO's, and BO's. Helps to hear leaders with the big text.

+1 Useful, more coordination and lore friendly if we talk about xeno castes/ranks

+1, I think this would be good for the Queen, they could assign T3s to coordinate attacks without having to micromanage themselves while also worrying about eggs/jelly/hive-building.
Cohen 'Double-F' Blyant Confirmed Combat Stats:
Intentional marine kills: 0
Friendly-fire kills: 2
Friendly-fire injuries: 9
Total aliens killed: 10
T3s killed: 2
Queens killed: 1
Times infected: Too many to count.
Deaths: See above.
Deaths by friendly-fire: 1
In case you couldn't tell, I'm pretty bad at this.

+1, The queen already has a lot to keep her mind busy than having to micromanage hunters she doesn't see.

+1 Still a good idea and shouldn't be too bad to implement considering there's a similar thing in place on the Marine side already.

I like to imagine the queen's just like "OMG STAPH PUSHING ME" in like 200 size font.

Queen is loud enough, others, sadly, arent.

The aliens have a hierarchy, the chat should reflect this hierarchy. It would make it so much easier for the higher tier'd xenos to give commands when needed, or asked to by the Queen.

+1.
Of course, there are exceptions (drone who lingers as a drone because the queen is an obvious dipshit) but generally T3s are alive for a reason.

Not even if every alien had their own colour but maybe make the hive mind chat stand out a bit more as it is just black with a purplish tint

Re: Make higher aliens more "loud" in the hivemind
nah I mean like just make the hivemind chat just more noticeable, it blends in with the normal chat apart from the purplish tint on the normal say, I just mean maybe make like the entire hivemind chat a different colour than black, but now understanding what UM is saying it sounds better than what I was previously stating, like larva green, t1 blue or yellow, t2 orange and t3 red

Re: Make higher aliens more "loud" in the hivemind
I can think of endless possibilities for diversification for either color or size either way does not matter or both. Just to make hive look 'beautiful'.
