<div class="IPBDescription">Maybe not a "bug" per se</div> Sorry if this doesn't belong here, but since this sort of thing is sometimes found in the bug tracker I figured I'd post it.
Leap still does a miniscule amount of damage to structures. This causes a very common and rather annoying problem in friendly fire servers where a skulk will accidentally leap into a structure, usually the hive, and set off the damage alarm for the entire team. Since bite is more than capable of doing the job if it's intentional, there's no benefit to this. Simplest fix is to simply disable structure damage from Leap.

Blink is only more effective if you have the res to fade.
On Topic: I agree that structure damage should be removed. Also, I'd like the damage from leap to be a little bit higher, thus giving hive 2 skulks a little boost vs the a1+ rines.
HIVE IS UNDER ATTACK!
Quick quick, use the movement!
Ah its just a skulk that leaped in hit, damn we just lost that res...
Also the fact that when I hear something's under attack I will at least turn my view and that can kill a hidden skulk.
Regardless, spit should cause the hive to be "under attack" so I hope that gets fixed/changed/whatever <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
after i thought about it i realized i had seen it in the bug tracker.
saltz bilebomb isn't supposed to damage friendlies (i can't imagine hitting your hive with a BB...ouch!)
