Request for "speed up" when egging

vup

<div class="IPBDescription">Commanders often can´t find the egg</div>I dont know if that still exists in the current patch but there used to be the ability for the alien comm to speed up alien building and player egging.

The problem is that the commander often can´t find the specific egg. It would be much more easier if there was a request button for alien players while egging.

Or maybe change the egg color for the ones that are occupied. It would make it easier for the commander to tell which eggs are players.
But obviously this color change would only be visible to the alien commander as we don't want to tip off the Marines.

Alien commanders cannot find the egg?

It's the one with the player's name spelled out above it.

"Mist me in (insert location here)" seems pretty obvious to me...

true, but you could say the same for marine requests. "requesting rt in xyz" . The point is, that you have to type and the commander has to read. Would be more convenient if aliens could just request it and the alien comm would see it pop up as an icon like it does for the marine commander when someone requests medpacks.

A problem with that right now, is that the text for your name blends in quite well to the infestation, so it's hard for the com to pick out the evolving egg in an infested room.

they should just use a similar thing to "Request ORders" or the marines. so that the comm can find you easily.

Player names over eggs should be more visible, and should also show which evolution(s) the player is going for.
Something like

<!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#FFFF00--><span style="color:#FFFF00"><!--/coloro-->RustInPieces<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->: <!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--><!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Onos<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

Add a "% Completed" bit in there, and +1.
