Can I put it all in one post?

I'm just going to put it all here; bugs, thoughts, suggestions. . .

If there is repeat I apologize, but as I do not get very good framerate ingame I am not nearly as active as some of you

*You can waste money by accidentally double clicking the same gun at the Armory

*Walked off of an IP and got hopelessly wedged between it and an adjacent wall

*Enemy Skulk that could only be damage by melee

*One team listed as full with only one player showing in tab who is not even in game but has 9+ copies of himself sitting in spawn

*Game that won't end even with nobody alive and no IPs left

---

*Instantly ended multiple games with early hydra spam in enemy base

*Spent 5 minutes burning infestation to prevent a hydra finish only to be overtaken without ever seeing an enemy and with teamates pitching in.

*Getting one shotted as a skulk from across a big room with a shotgun

*What looks like a clear shot through railings and over other small objects ends up hitting them instead

*Seems to be some kind of delay on the grenade when shot making it almost impossible to hit a moving target

*Can't jump as a skulk if you're touching a box

*Can't reach MACs as a skulk

*No % shown while trying to rebuild a totally destroyed power node

*No quickbuy or way to spawn in with the equipment you want already purchased

*No Auto repair option or way to toggle autocast of structure abilities

---

*Leap + Bite should add a noticeable amount of extra damage if you hit a marine in the chest or head (possible a one hit kill for a neck hit)

*Skulks should be able to grapple onto MACs, dragging them to the ground, and rendering them inoperable while pinned (Same for drifters if hit by a specific marine weapon)

*Make the future heavy armor immune to hydras needle attack while it still has armor

*Have MACs and Drifters follow a player if you interact with them

*Have an upgrade that lets MACs carry a limited number of supplies for Marines

*Have an upgrade that lets Drifters spread umbra

*Offer specialized ammo for purchase by Marines; anywhere from a non-flamable toxic liquid that can be spread with the flamethrower, to explosive shotgun shells, to bullets that ignore armor

*Have other options for Marine Turrets (maybe a 360 degree flame turret?)

*Let Gorges attach hydras to existing structures as a symbiotic upgrade (Hydra + Whip sounds fun)

*Have an upgrade that makes Gorges create a hydra on death so long if they didn't die from fire damage

*Have an upgrade that attaches a parasite to a marine if you walk over a dead skulk

*You can waste money by accidentally double clicking the same gun at the Armory
I agree this is annoying, but I find that buying the same gun i already have is even more annoying, but when its a heated battle in base, I like to be able to do it. Buyer beware

*Walked off of an IP and got hopelessly wedged between it and an adjacent wall
Annoying and i wish there was a way to keep it from happening. kill is the only option

*Enemy Skulk that could only be damage by melee
I have seen this as well, seem to be a server side problem

*One team listed as full with only one player showing in tab who is not even in game but has 9+ copies of himself sitting in spawn
Ghost players, i'm sure they will fix this soon

*Game that won't end even with nobody alive and no IPs left
Also seems to be a server side error, is fixed by server restart

*Instantly ended multiple games with early hydra spam in enemy base
I have seen dozen of games ended by skulk rush, this is no different, but I would guess a lot harder to pull off.

*Spent 5 minutes burning infestation to prevent a hydra finish only to be overtaken without ever seeing an enemy and with teamates pitching in.
Pay better attention 

*Getting one shotted as a skulk from across a big room with a shotgun
And most times you wouldn't have taken even 1 hit, so whats the big deal that a very random shot took you out.

*What looks like a clear shot through railings and over other small objects ends up hitting them instead
I watched a marine stand behind a railing and bun a hive and all the hydras becasue the hydras couldnt hit him through the railing.. very annoying error!

*Seems to be some kind of delay on the grenade when shot making it almost impossible to hit a moving target
That is an intended feature, its not meant to be used to kill moving targets

*Can't jump as a skulk if you're touching a box
Don't really know what you are talking about here

*Can't reach MACs as a skulk
most of the time this isn't a problem, what can a MAC do, repair and build... 

*No % shown while trying to rebuild a totally destroyed power node
I don't want this ever to show up, I think it should be a huge risk for a marine to drop his gun and repair a node, you better have someone watch your back

*No quickbuy or way to spawn in with the equipment you want already purchased
Do you mean instead of having to click a player or MAC to place an object? Why would they put something like that in?

*No Auto repair option or way to toggle autocast of structure abilities
Auto repair i don't like that idea, but it would be nice to be able drop health and ammo without having to click on the chair first

*Leap + Bite should add a noticeable amount of extra damage if you hit a marine in the chest or head (possible a one hit kill for a neck hit)
No need for instant death, and if you time your leap and bite properly, it can be deadly as sin

*Skulks should be able to grapple onto MACs, dragging them to the ground, and rendering them inoperable while pinned (Same for drifters if hit by a specific marine weapon) No, that is pointless, for marines as well

*Make the future heavy armor immune to hydras needle attack while it still has armor
Ahh no thanks, grenades and flamers already destroy hydras enough, no need for HA to be able to just walk around them

*Have MACs and Drifters follow a player if you interact with them
Why? you can't make them build for you, so why would you need them to follow you? I do agree that MACs and Difters do need some improvement though

*Have an upgrade that lets MACs carry a limited number of supplies for Marines
Commanders can drop forward armories and instantly drop health and ammo. Also in the future they will be able to place mines. So no need for something like this.

*Have an upgrade that lets Drifters spread umbra
its not needed because the commander can already place it

*Offer specialized ammo for purchase by Marines; anywhere from a non-flamable toxic liquid that can be spread with the flamethrower, to explosive shotgun shells, to bullets that ignore armor  Thats what the marines need, super ammo that is much more powerful... seriously that would just be overkill

*Have other options for Marine Turrets (maybe a 360 degree flame turret?)
Turrets are powerful enough and the ARC is still coming in the future.

*Let Gorges attach hydras to existing structures as a symbiotic upgrade (Hydra + Whip sounds fun)
pointless

*Have an upgrade that makes Gorges create a hydra on death so long if they didn't die from fire damage
What would that do? That has no use at all

*Have an upgrade that attaches a parasite to a marine if you walk over a dead skulk
DI already acts as a parasite, and dead bodies dont last.
