<div class="IPBDescription">Very small detail</div> Ok, I've only conciously noticed this as a skulk. When I evolove carapace and pop out of the egg, I don't get the armor points (they remain at 10). But if I run up to a hive or DC, they get replenished to 30. I imagine this isn't noticed often because people tend to upgrade everything before they leave the hive for an onslaught, and after you evolve another trait, you have full armor. (In fact, after evolving, whatever your HP/AP was before doesn't matter, you get healed completely.

And now I demonstrate what I believe the problem to be. Simply because I enjoy programming that much. When you gestate to an egg, for evolution or upgrading, you get 200 life and 150 armor points (At least, i see those numbers flicker at the bottom of the screen for a moment). So your current status must be saved somewhere while you're an egg. Rather than hold the current value and max value for both Armor and health (4 variables), it saves memory by having 2 temp variables capture the max value for HP/AP of your current state. When you are done being an egg, it sets both Hp & HpMax to the max value. Same for armor.
But if you evolve the carapace upgrade your max AP increases AFTER it's set to your previous max. Which is why you can go to a hive and get the AP, but it isn't there from the get-go.
So then. If this is wrong, I'd appreciate some one filling me in on to true nature of the problem.
=EDIT=
If this, for whatever reason, was intended to happen, I am sorry for labeling it a "problem."
