De-evolving alien abilities

Cee Colon Slash

Quick fix: right now, if you evolve an alien ability, you can't un-evolve it if it's the only ability you have to choose from. I found this out today when I accidentally evolved carapace on my skulk, and then wanted to get rid of it.

Said another way: opened my evolution menu (B) and saw carapace: evolved it. Decided I didn't want it, opened my evolution menu (B) and tried to remove it: the "Evolve" command button is not selectable.

Thanks for reporting it, it's already logged on the bug tracker it seems. I'll add some more information to it though as it also happens with multiple upgrades, going back to an upgrades Skulk if you want to do that for some odd reason :)

why would you not want an upgrade?

If you want to switch to another upgrade.


So in some situations you might evolve a "placeholder" upgrade until another one is available, or sometimes its situational eg. you might change from celerity to adrenaline as gorge if you got close to a marine outpost. (celerity to move there faster first, then adrenaline to bomb longer)

Carapace decreases movement speed. This downside is enough for me to only use it as Gorge/Onos.

That was exactly it for me. In the heat of the moment I thought it was regen and evolved it, but then realized it was carapace. Thought I could un-evolve it, but couldn't. Quickly died because I was easier to hit.
