is there absolutely nothing you can do, to allow its use without the exploit ? like a time delay between attack or something, playing as the aliens without it is ridiculously ackward,

    let me make this simple for you too understand, can u find the Q button on your key board, ? yes ? ok good, now in normal halflife, and most mods suported by it, the Q yes the Q button on ur key board, got it right ? ok well the Q button performs a default function of switching to the weapon u used last, yes the one u had before you switched to the one you have, now, because there is no 2nd fire option in this game, the aliens attack are treated as normal "weapons" like guns, and thus have to be individually selected before you can use them.  Now becasue the Q button is disabled for "whatever reason" it makes playing the aliens who rely on the different abilities they have to kill, a lot more complicated than it should.  Now my question is whether or not the ns team will finally find a work around the "bug" and be able to impelement the last weapon fucktion back into the game or will it forever be dissabled ?

    The 'lastweapon' isn't a simple fix.  It's been out for longer than I can remember because it would sometimes crash servers when you would use it.  I can't give you the details as to how, or why, but I suspect it probably has something to do with switching back to a weapon that you don't have anymore, especially with aliens.

    Flayra's said he wants to fix it, but no guarantees.

    I also looked for the q key because of the aliens, but after playing for a little while you get used to not being able to use it.  It would be nice to have, especially for people are used to using it, but after some experience it isn't really needed.
