Commanders and Gorge Tunnels

Would be really nice if the Alien commander was given the ability to move Gorge tunnels after they've become built. Usually when there are more than 2 tunnels up, it becomes a nightmare trying to find the proper tunnel when they're all grouped together and paths overlap each other. It gets even worse when lots of structures start to clog up the view on the map. A function similar to how you can move other Alien structures like shades and crags would be ideal. Maybe make it very slow if you're worried about balance issues, or maybe just give ability to move the entrances.

    True that getting the right tunnel could be awful sometimes ^^
    For balance issue, I would add some limitation:
    - you can only move the GT into the same room
    - you can only move GT when it is full health (avoid moving when attacking by marine)

    While you could say you're giving comms more power to be helpful. the counter argument would be: Giving the trolls more weapons to piss you the hell off with. Are you sure you want to do this? N / Y

    placing tunnels correctly, even with multiple up, is part of the gorge's skill requirement.
    Nothing wrong with that. :)

    *always picks wrong tunnel if tunnel gorges sucked @ placement*

    Though people just love to mock up tunnels one over another so its impossibel to use them quickly. How damn hard is it to place them in a visible spot relevant to the location where you plan to place the destination entrance. So they never overlap another tunnel path... apparently only i do that...

    Its because it needs to go as fast as possible. Tunnel down and out you are to Crossroads / Nano / Maintenance or Stab / Double. Because that could mean win or loose a game.
    Also doesn't help that GT placement is so restrictive.
