Me Hivelords!

[ShadowDeath6]

Hey, I was playing on the server today, and I decided to become a hivelord, and build a nest in space like I always do. I realized that they lost their main 2 most important abilities in the update, though, which was launching resin and making resin floors in space. Is this unintended, or is it just to make hivelords MORE useless than they already were?

Also, if this wasn't clear, I'd like to have hivelords get their original abilities back (resin floors and launching resin) They're kinda useless right now.

Hivelords, are meant to be more robust drones, they have a WAY better tackle, large plasma pool, and inceased damage+regen compared to drones. Their job is to allow faster hive construction, maintain it (repairs from marine attacks), and keep the hosts nice and comfortable till the babies are born.

The removing of the floors, was a side-effect of not having proper textures and not wanting them purple, but it seemed to work out in the end.

Those Hivelord abilities were bugged to hell if I remember correctly. Hivelord is my favorite alien and still the best utility class of the bunch.

Nah , the only problem was only the terrible looking textures.
I've built enough huge space hives to know.

I think we should bring back those abilitys. They were awesome.

They don't really have any major redeeming features now, though. You could play drone just as well as you could play hivelord, and there wouldn't really be any difference besides better combat advantage. They're definitely not as memorable as any other caste, and there's only one or two per round because of their general uselessness. The way I see it, it's basically a better spitter from before the update, without the spit.

Denied for now.
