Alien Comm Menu

<div class="IPBDescription">Diablo Style</div>Hi,

I got a nice idea for the alien commander menu. Perhaps it is more intuitive if you can do all upgrades in a single menu. This menu should look like the Techtree in a Action RPG like diablo. So you can easily see the connection between the Upgrades. Oh I want the alien Melee Attack Upgrade I, hm i need a Whip for it. If i build the Whip it gets green or something an I see i can build it.
The advantage is that you don´t need to klick on a whip or crag to make any upgrades, and you always know what to do next. From the graphic style it should look like the evolve menu.

I think now it is very complicated to use the alien comm. In the first game i tried the alien Comm i didn´t know what to do. i clicked on the hive got a build menu clicked on it and choosed a building. But it won´t build, because i need to click on a drifter.... why did i have this menu, if i can´t use it and why did no drifter go there on his own? And where i could do upgrades wasn´t clear to me. Everything should be possible from the hive, except the local things like attack with a whip or unroot it.

feel free for suggestions

    it would be a nice addition if the hive would have the drifters build menu as well. placing a structure somewhere, would give the closest drifter the order to build it.

    You got a build menu after clicking on the hive? That's weird. Definitely sounds like a bug.
