<div class="IPBDescription">How Much?</div> Anyone know how much health eggs have? Does it depend on what lifeform you were before you started gestating or is there a set amount for the egg itself ?

    Eggs always have 200 hp. Not sure about armour though.

    Ta, and if you manage to do 100 damage to the egg will the new lifeform pop out with full/half health ?

    150 Armor, and the damage absorbancy <b>is</b> affected by the Carapace upgrade. However, the amount of Armor is not affected.

    Don't worry though, you won't have much trouble going 1 on 1 with an egg <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Even if you begin egging to a gorge with 10/75 health next to the hive, your egg will have full health, and you will still hatch with 20/150 health. If you egg with full health and your egg is nearly knifed down, you will still hatch with full health.

    Lol!!! I've had a few close run-ins with eggs, especially when trying to knife one.

    So howcome you still hear yourself healing when you're damaged and start gestating ?

    no the egg has the same life and armor as the fade in ns 1.04.
    You could see it sometimes when a bug happened.
    I believe a fade had 200/100 or 200/150 cara.

    A 3.0 egg has 200 health and 150 armor. Also, if you were injured before you started evolving, then your egg will have less health than that.

    One time (not to long ago, during 3.0) I saw an egg at a hive and I started shooting it. All of a sudden the egg disappeared and reappeared 2 feet to the right of where it last was. I just stopped and laughed, then finished it off then continued with more laughter lol. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I too have a funny egg story....or at least we in the game thought it was funny when it happened....

    playing tanith i walked into a mostly-undefended satcom hive at about 4 minutes and there was an egg so i started unloading my pistol into it and then at about 9 shots at it a fade popped out and owned me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    sucks when you have low ammo so you think you'll be saving some by knifing the egg instead of shooting it, when after the 3rd slice an onos pops out and you're staring at its stomach

    A 1-hive egg takes 17 slashes to kill with the knife (500 effective hp, 30 dmg/slash). That takes some time. Compare that to a full lmg clip with lvl0 weapons. It is much quicker to use the lmg clip. Even if there is no net res gain because the comm ends up dropping ammo for you, the aliens lose res (from evolving), and possibly as important or more important, time. It's not worth it to knife an egg.

    I know this probably belongs in beta duscussion but since were on the topic of eggs, what happens when you kill one in Combat, does the alien lose the upgrade ?

    Best when a skulk leaps at you, then accidentally hits his bind to evolve redemption in midair and an egg flies towards you.

    That's why I don't bind my evolution keys. I only bind going gorge, because I use that all the time. I hate it when I run up to an elec rt to bile bomb it, then start evolving to a gorge, then realize I am too close after I start evolving. Big waste of 10 res.

    Trying getting an upgrade while on a ceil or wall, sometimes it works, and your eggs fall and you splat!

    Anyone think that an egg's health should be linked to the lifeform's health?

    Like you are a 10/0 skulk at the hive evolving to onos. You heal to max HP as the egg but when you pop out as an onos you only have 70 hp and get pistol whipped by a sneaky marine. That's the way the health system works now.
