harvester

What if the harvester could take upgrades paths of its own? No, wait. What if you could play *AS* the harvester?

Adding simple AI for the alien harvester could add a lot to the gameplay experience. I would like to see the harvester ask to be healed or chuckle when an enemy nearby killed.

Also, with regard to how the harvester could be upgraded, it could be given different attacks as the aliens get more hives.
Hive 0 - Parasite on contact (like the only sensory chamber)
Hive 1 - Push marine away
Hive 2 - ?
Hive 3 - ?
