Combat: Alien Life Form Order

Quantum_Duck

A quick search did not reveal anything directly relating to this, so I'm hoping this isn't redundant.

I'm not sure if gorges are in combat to stay this time or not, but if they are I'd like to recommend a re-ordering of the life form tree for one simple reason. I like going lerk on my way to fade/onos. If just putting them all in a row straight down is too long how about something like this:

Start
|
Gorge 1
|
Lerk 1
|
Fade 1 -- Onos 2

This way, everything costs the same total number of points, it takes longer to gestate to higher forms, and I get to go lerk on my way up instead of saving so long when I want to go from skulk to fade.

Anyone else like this upgrade path better than the current one?

If they're gonna keep Gorge in, I think it should be on a separate tree from the other lifeforms. So you can switch to it if your team needs a Gorge late in the game.
