it would be nice if i could bind a button to select the same traits I had before (aka I die as a skulk and upon respawn want the same traits). I waste so much time just selected the same trait (carapace... again, etc etc) after I die.

Marines don't have to select W3 and A3 when they respawn.

*I apologize if this post is redundant but i didn't find anything with this title...*

    " I waste so much time..."

    2-3 seconds will definetely make you fail your team and lose the game.

    It would be convenient to have binds to upgrades. I think it could be done in NS1 through console like "bind x up_cara" or something to that effect. But that would mean that you would have to have 3-6 keys perma-bound to the upgrades. Unless of course you only use cele+cara which is very common.

    On the other hand, its not that hard to select once you have the practice. I only "waste" at most 1 second on it. Good mouse practice ;)

    I suggest that the 'b' menu simply have your last-used abilities preselected. So you would just press b-> 'ok'
    As far as I can tell, this is the best solution, but as a slight addition, auto-select your last used combination for your lifeform, and it should be the last grouping you used given the currently available upgrades. So make the auto-preset upgrade selection based on your last selection given the alien type and upgrades. I hope I explained this correctly. (would entail priority lists of upgrades for each alien)

    Also make this feature toggleable via settings.

    Noteworthy option would be also to be able choose upgrades beforehand while spawning

    that's a good idea - use that time sitting there "waiting to respawn" to choose your life form and traits
