I was thinking of an option that if you have unused Pres just sitting there, you could donate it to another person.
I often find many matches where we would have to wait for 2-3 people to save up 75 res. I don't need res and my teammates are waiting to go Onos. I don't go Onos much, as I like to bilebomb instead.
So what do you think. Also think about whether Commanders should be included.

otherwise 1 onos at 5 mins turns into 4 onos at 5 min
What could possibly go wrong?
So you want to implement a pres gifting system that prevents people from gifting pres?
You can drop weapons on the ground for other players
And there is talk about letting gorges be able to use their Pres to make a lifeform egg like alien commander can so that should cover it
Prevent <i>too much</i> gifting
I liked that part of ns1.
It was like which should I do. Fortify the area, get a fade, or save up for a hive.
But we all know ns2 isn't ns1. NS2 is about instant hive drops and 6 minute Onos.

It's no different from NS1 right now, either you save for lifeform or you go Gorge and spend your res doing that. I don't think playing Gorge should also be about saving for lifeforms.
Just no res gifting. Buying eggs makes sure it only comes from 1 person.
Gorge putting down egg drops is interesting, but at the end of the day you would see this so infrequently that it might as well not be done. People on the internet are generally not known for their forgiving and generous natures. After Gorge gets his 'tunnels', whatever those end up being, they'll be great. You also don't want two units doing redundant work, which would be what you end up with if gorges can duplicate commander work. Right now, Gorges complement the commander rather than replacing him. That was tricky, but UWE pulled it off pretty darn well in my book.
Has nothing to do with altruism, everything about propping up your team so you win.
*alien commander cannot drop eggs for first 3mins of the game (like in starcraft 2 you cannot gift resources for the first few minutes of the round).
*Players on both teams can gift res, but only to the commander Tres, so that then the commander can then decide how to use that res. be an egg (after 3 mins), a fast expansion, or a fast upgrade. Or nothing and everyone keeps their own res.
it could make better use of resoures late in the game too
We don't need Pres gifting in any way, shape, or form. Marines can buy guns for each other and that's as far as it should go, if that.
I see no reason why this couldn't make a come back as an option on eggs, top row of buttons remains TRes, copy the buttons to the bottom row and make those use PRes. It's no different than marines buying weapons for each other.
Heck, just give any player the ability to 'use' a plain egg and evolve it instead of using the Khamm interface.
