Idea: Alien Upgrades In M Vs M

in NS Customization
I don't know if this is the place to do this, but I figure that plug-ins would be under customization.

Anyway, I was playing a Marine vs. Marine map, and I wondered to myself, what would this be like if we could get alien upgrades too?

So basiclly, I'm just throwing the idea out there that maybe someone could make a plug in that gives you acess to a little text menu allowing you to select one of the nine Kharaa upgrades.

Carapace- Just like an Armor I/II/III upgrade.
Regeneration- Obvious
Redemption- Brings Marine back to CC when significantly damaged.

Cloaking- Obvious
Scent of Fear- A bit redundant with Motion Tracking, but, whatever.
Focus- Shoot slower, but like a Weapons I/II/III upgrade

Celerity- Obvious
Silence- Obvious

The only one I don't see working for Marines is Adrenaline, because they have no energy.

So... comments? Interest?

    Focus would be bad for marines, because over time you do less damage, its mainly useful for the hit and run aliens to reduce the number of hits needed.

    Redemption would be less likely to work in MvM than normally because marines die so fast.

    Regen, carapace, and SoF as you said already have marine side tech.

    Only ones I think that I would use are cloaking and the MC upgrades. For adren I was thinking it could speed up reload time, the one thing catpacks dont do.

    Yes. But if you miss...

    GL would be scary, too. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    So, does anyone want to do it?

    It's times like this that I wish I knew how to write plug-ins.
