Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Let the Hivelord and Queen see the health and plasma levels of aliens via overhead bars per the Health HUD.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Lets both of these classes support the hive much more effectively by seeing who needs health and plasma, and allowing them to react accordingly (use Recover pheromones, donate plasma, etc).
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Per the Summary.
Shouldn't be too taxing on resources as both these castes are very limited in number.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Modify the Health HUD code.

Just the queen and hivelord? That could be possible.

Re: Show Plasma/Health Bars for Hivelord/Queen
+1: There would be at most, 1 queen and maybe 3-ish hivelords for a big hive? Makes sense roleplay wise that the queen would know how much plasma her children had and that she could tell her brood to be more sharing in their life juice. Gives a nice small buff to Hivelords in helping guide the xeno's assaults. Makes sense from a lore-wise point of view.
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
