make it so if an egg takes damage the damage does effect the creature coming out. so if egg hp is 200/150 and a skulks health is 70/10 make it so if the eggs health is 100/75 when the skulk comes out its health should be 35/5 or something of that sort.(not great mathmatician so correct me on ratio of eggs hp/skulks hp if im wrong)

I always thought it would be an interesting touch to make a health penalty if you're hurt but not killed during gestating. However, what if instead of a health penalty, the gestation took longer? When you consider what the gestation would be like for a higher-level being like the Kharaa, they probably wouldn't leave gestation badly wounded, but instead would fix their wounds. Of course, there'd need to be a limit, so a marine couldn't hold you in gestation by knifing your egg constantly.
You should be very careful where you gestate. You can't expect that you can evolve into an onos in the middle of a hallway, and when a marine comes around the corner, you are magically saved. Evolve into big lifeforms only at hives, with other aliens or OCs covering you.
If its a skulk, just wait til he comes out then blast him.
If its anything larger, pound away; they take long enough to gestate. If he pops, too bad, you had your chance.
I like this egg system really.
If a marine catches you gestating into an onos and lowers you down to that amoutn of health, he probably already used his usefull ammo just trying to do that. He may have a full pistol left or enough to kill you, but with the hive healing you or surrounding DCs, you'll ahve enough health to survive and smash his face intot eh wall and then smear his body on the floor and play kick ball with his skull.
Pretty weird seeing a mini egg that explodes magicly into an Onus.
Like eggs are hard to hit anyway. Its funny some times if you get redem and you get attacked as a egg it will save your egg and toss you back in the hive.

By your logic you should be able to kill a marine before he teleports fully into the infantry portal
l;ike, -25% damage?
