New Hive Models

Arkahm719

I was thinking about this, I thought it would be really cool! when you have a hive and you research it to shift crag or shade, how about the model displays the trait? like the shift hive would grow spikes going down its back like a spur, crag hive might have the shell plates covering the glowing parts, and the shade hive would have that mushroom cap vibe draping down the sides. but then also incorporate a trait to the hive aswell, shade hives are naturally cloaked, crag hives have more armor (pawn fewer eggs maybe?), and shift hives maybe a bit weaker but spawn more eggs.

at the very least those hive models could be really cool i think and help aliens at a glance know what hive is which, and maybe mirror these effects to drifters that are produced from the hives, i read these on the balance mod thing but a shade hive makes cloaked drifters shift hive they are faster and crag hive they are stronger.

If this has been suggested before Im sorry I didnt find anything like this here.

I think this has been suggested before but still, I like the idea!

I do too, I think it would just add that extra something to the aliens, I would personally feel like the alien models would be finished with that being done to the game, and that little bit of gameplay changes might make other hives useful at the game start

This is something the devs themselves have talked about. I'm guessing its not very high on the priority list. I'm kinda surprised no one has made a mod for this.
