Make specific upgrades visible

Racer1

NS2 could make patterns or colors appear on the skin of aliens. For example: stripes, reticulation, certain colors, ridges.
Each upgrade (e.g. celerity) would have its own look. The look from multiple upgrades would also combine to produce a new look.
Optionally, higher level upgrades (if that makes sense) would give a more pronounced look.

I think this has been brought up many times. I for one would like to see some kind of small indication that someone has a certain upgrade.

I'm for this. Variety is the spice of life. Also, if a marine learns (skill) what these mean, then he might be able to use it to his advantage in combat. It may also tell him what kind of skill distribution is on the alien team.
