Simple want/need/must have. Have it possible to see what kind of Hive it is using different hive models. I think it will help gameplay as well, because knowing what upgrades the aliens have shouldn't be guesswork if you scout the hive. Subtle changes, like having a crag hive have a bit of exoskeleton on the top and those vents that a crag has. For Shift, glowing spines. Shade? A glimmering cloak maybe? Really a missed opportunity if this doesn't happen. Speaking of missed opportunities, would be cool to see actual small changes for the hives as well other than an appearance. Shift hive could supply energy to nearby aliens and spawn eggs a bit faster, crag hive have more hp, and shade hive cloak aliens/structures and spawn cloaked eggs.

An easy short term fix would be to change the Hive mist to a noticeable variation.
