1.1 Regen?

<div class="IPBDescription">How is it?</div> I'm wondering if some of the lesser used upgrades are now being used more often. Regen in 1.04 wasn't really all that useful unless you were on a distraction mission or knew how to skulk extremely well taking out marine structures (turrets and such). In 1.04 a single defense tower was utterly useless as you regened something like 2 or 3 HP per tick. With level 3 it was partially usefull but still took an ungodly amount of time to regen. By the time fade came around (if the game lasted that long) carapace was still the choice over the others for me because I could support gorges very heavily with their backup d chambers behind me and their healing spray. So is it a more viable choice now?

Redemption was also a skill I didn't use much. I only used to use it occasionaly when I was a gorge because of the possibility if I was killed I'd lose a LOT of res because of the res cap for skulks but no cap for gorge. I don't see it as being all that usefull anymore really seeing as a redemption to the hive is not really worth the 1 extra second you could've been alive to pull off that last bite on the marine/structure/whatever.

Those are the only two I had questions on, seeing as the others still seem quite usefull for multiple situations as opposed to the "single use" examples posted above <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Redemption is really useful of you evolve to an expensive lifeform when your team has relatively low resources - you don't want to blow it. It's especially useful for gorges and fades.

    It's usefull. I take it as an onos, so I can run away at my leasure, and come back to kill again. It's also good for taking out electric rt's as a skulk, although that takes a long long time. I believe the goal for 1.1 is to have everything be viable to use (along with other things).
