Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Add an energy count on the status tab for yautja players.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Would greatly benefit yautjas as they have to manually check every thirty seconds or so their energy fillers.
Would be kind of nice to have in a user-friendly way.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Use plasma code, or whatever you deem worth it. Won't be picky.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
N/A.

Yautja Status - Energy counter
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Re: Yautja Status - Energy counter
+1 As predator literally annoying to constantly check how much energy you have, there are times when I am cloaked escaping find my self in the middle of a group of armed marines. Then all of a sudden bam unlocks due to running out of energy.

But a foolish Xeno Hunter wielder of robustness stepped forth and opposed me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore a gate of Salt of Solitude and flung em into the world of CM, and took out their Facehugger Capabilities! Now, this Xeno Fool seeks to return the favour, and undo my evil reign and of many other predator predecessors!

No info on pred mechanics, cannot make informed decision. Wait for other preds, I guess.

Re: Yautja Status - Energy counter
I don't know if I'm an idiot and referring to a competely different mechanic, but there's already a visual indicator on the screen for bracer energy.
Look on the HUD for the bracer on the right edge of the screen, by the O2 indicator. The bright red Yautja characters there act as a meter for how much energy you have - they'll lose their color and turn a flat gray/pink when you use energy. Try cloaking and keeping an eye on it, and the characters will dim slowly starting from the top and working down.

Re: Yautja Status - Energy counter
There is a visual indicator strictly for this reason. If you want to check the exact amount, that's also possible. Denying for now, maybe it will be reworked in the future.
