Alien com can use his catalize ability on players while they are evolving. But currently finding eggs with players in them, then clicking on them to find out what they are evolving to, takes a long time.

Can we have some sort of notification, a coloured circle around an egg or something similar, to indicate that a player is gestating in an egg. The different colors could indicate the lifeform they are gestating to. If the percentage was also somehow marked, we could quickly and easily help catalize the gestating lifeforms when needed. I'm yet to catalize a player egg as I haven't come across one gestating in the normal gameplay.

    Really? I've actually got a lot of players haha. I agree though, visuals would be nice. It's probably coming somewhere down the pipeline. :p

    How about when a player is evolving, an icon pops up on the HUD that you can click to bring you to their location (like how you can click marine request icons on the marine comm HUD)?

    In the last game I played half the voice comm traffic was players trying to explain to the comm in detail where their egg was so he could catalyze, lol. There definitely should be a UI indicator.

    Weird, no alien commander did that.
    But good to know.

    For way points you now get this indicator in the commander view showing where the order was placed much like any FPS. Instead of having that crosshair icon you could have the skulk/lerk/fade/onos icon above the player eggs so the commander can see whos evolving into what.
