Why only one trait per hive for aliens?

Aliens should be able to evolve any three traits from those available, not be limited to only one trait from each tech tree. Maybe reduce the effects of traits if they are co-evolved with traits from the same tree to avoid cara/regen being OP early game. Or something like that.

Please, discuss. I think it'd be a good idea, allow the aliens to specialise a little further while increasing tactical options for marines to screw over the aliens res sink of upgrade structures.

No? Yes? No? Why?

    Hidden modifiers

    Cara+Regen, Silence+ Camouflage, Celerity+Adrenaline are too powerful a combo. Lowering the effectiveness of them if used from the same techtree brings us back to the point of hidden modifiers.

    It's been done. There is a reason it's not done anymore.
