Let commanders choose where units spawn.

Ohnojojo

<div class="IPBDescription">Its like producing units.</div>Let the alien commander should be able to choose an egg and have that egg spawn the next person in the death queue.
Fairly simple but I think it would make shift play a lot more tactical, like marine phase gates. But the execution of the idea is such that its still remains asymmetrical.
Not to mention it adds another gameplay mechanic into alien commanding that fits the "gardening" role. By affecting overall macro, without directly affecting micro.

It is subtle and not mentioned in the tooltip, but Eggs produced by Shift's Hatch already force dead players to spawn there. The ability to manually assign "priority eggs" would be nice though.

I havent alien commed in a long time but I know you can buy eggs... and people spawn from those the next time they die.

It wouldn't take hardly any effort at all for UWE to implement placing skulk eggs that have spawning priority.... not even placing... just selecting.

With that in mind... I'm sure they have a reason for not allowing this... not sure why but I guess it keeps thing more random?

wiry

I like this suggestion! It gives the khammander another reason to actually be in the hive more than the 5 sec it takes to enter -> start an "evolution" and then jump out again. It might not be as useful in big public games, but for competitive games I could see this being quite usefull and strategical! woo!

People do not spawn from pre-evolved eggs anymore.
