Several bugs

-Evolving to a skulk is free, but if you're a non-skulk lifeform, the game won't actually let you do it until you have enough PRes to afford a trait for your current lifeform. For example, a gorge can't evolve to a skulk until he has at least 1 PRes, and a lerk can't evolve to a skulk until he has at least 3 PRes.

-If an observatory is powered by both power surge and a power node and is beaconing, that beacon will be canceled if the power node is destroyed, even though the structure never actually lost power. This bug eliminates a potential strategy for a quick-thinking commander who sees that the node will die before the beacon can complete.

-Projectiles don't collide with the track in Tram. This frequently causes grenades to fall through the floor in South Tunnels, Hub, North Tunnels, and Platform.

-When an egg finishes upgrading into a lifeform egg, it seems to become a normal egg for a brief moment before transforming into the finished lifeform egg. I've seen a player hatch out of that egg as a skulk during that moment, wasting the egg and associated TRes.

    This is a somewhat difficult one to fix

    Already fixed

This bug eliminates a potential strategy for a quick-thinking commander who sees that the node will die before the beacon can complete.
    This is also already fixed because I changed it so you can't do it on powered structures

    Unable to reproduce

    Wait, so if the power goes out or is going to go out, during a beacon, we dont get the option to use our wits and game knowledge to prevent us from needing to beacon once more? Sad times

    Agreed... this is just removing functionality... not really a fix.

    I'm guessing the power surge effect and regular power to structures use the same variable to store the state of the structure, or something to that effect. Doesn't seem like a hard fix. Maybe requiring 'a slight rework of how structure power is handled' so seems like a lot of work for the outcome, but would be a much more elegant and, dare I say it, fun solution.
