<div class="IPBDescription">To split the unit abilities between different hive types.</div>First time poster but been playing since build 160.
I think Kharaa are a bit too powerful early game, carapace and leap within the first five minutes of the game is buffing skulks too much too early imo. I would suggest having leap a shift hive only upgrade. Other suggestions for splitting up the abilties could go like this;
Leap = Shift
Xenocide = Shade
Blink = Shade
Vortex = Crag
Spikes = Shift
Umbra = Crag
Bile bomb and stomp are ok.
I think splitting the core abilities of early/mid game offensive units with force the alien commander to choose between the shift and the crag hives for leap/carapace, would give the alien commanders choices much more depth because a shade or shift hive could determine whether units go fade or lerk on one hive. I would still keep the ability upgrades as non-destructable but these changes would mean that alien commanders don't go crag hive first every time for carapace and make the alien commander more insentivised to go for an early second hive. Cheers.
