Alien respawn feature

I really like the idea of choosing your respawn as alien. But it's gets very repatable to click "C" everytime you're going to respawn, just so you'll be able to see the mini map. Because without the minimap I won't be knowing where to spawn and where I'm currently at.

I just wish that the minimap would appear automatlic, at least the small one at the button left of your screen :)

Kind of related issue.

I hate it when i switch through eggs at the same hive but want a egg on a other hive and i know for sure that eggs are available there.

Yeah they could change the algorithm to be more like...

Start respawn
Egg #1 Hive #1
Click

Egg #1 Hive #2
Click

Egg #2 Hive #1
Click

That's an oversimplification but usually i just want to switch to the other hive
because it is in trouble.
because it is a better attack point.

It would be nice but I would also mark this as lower priority to features and polish needed.

Would be cool if players got an Alien Comm. view during respawn, where they are tied to each Hive (can't move around) and they can cycle through available Hive locations with a Respawn menu. Then, they'd just select the egg they want and voila, new Skulks are born.

Might be confusing for some though, seeing as RTS view is only available to Comm.'s.

I'd prefer the spawning process to work without touching the current death screen.
This can be done by using the space bar, or some other intuitive key to cycle through hives, and when at a hive with an egg selected, you can use the WASD keys to move to any available eggs in that direction with respect to your third person egg view for spawning.

Simple, efficient, and intuitive. It also doesn't change anything already in place, sans spacebar's third person, free look modes. (Free look should be taken out imo)
