I was thinking about this ability, called "<!--coloro:#00FF00--><span style="color:#00FF00"><!--/coloro-->Mind Harvest<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->", which would let you convert dead marine bodies into Alien minions.
These minions would be some slow-moving, zombie-like entities, either completely indipendent or controlled by the Alien commander.
I'd really like seeing this ability being performed by the Gorge, making it a bit more supportive on the front where Marines usually die.
Therefore, a Gorge should decide whether to take a risk and try to expose himself to harvest a corpse.

That is true indeed, corpses would impact performance, but how much?
By the way, I expect the game performance to increase as new patches are rolled out...
so if the performance problem arises now, this ability could still be implemented on a later date, maybe.
