I tried searching to see if this had been suggested before, so sorry if this is a repeat.
The Premise:
I quite like playing gorge late-game, especially during an alien winning late-game. Someone needs to protect those Onuses--This is probably somewhat exacerbated by the FPS I get if i actually enter the cluttastrophuck of a marine-turtled CC room, so bile bombing from the doorway and being a sentient medpack is one [of the two] way(s) I can contribute late-game. I also think late-game gorging is a role that *should* be played in a game (i.e. I don't feel gorges should be abandoned to have all players lerk or higher).
So often, late game, i'm being a porky gorge, all is going swimmingly, my life-giving udders are freely suckling my team in to fighting spirits, and I have this p-res reserve fatter than my belly that babblers and 3 hydras just can't dent. If I evolve to something else i'm going to have less fun (probably dropping to around 10 funs per second), will prolly waste the life form, and may 'hurt' the team.
The Idea and/or [delete as applicable] Suggestion:
Therefore I suggested that gorges be allowed to drop eggs for higher life-forms at the cost of p-res, kinda like the khaamander can with t-res. The actual cost of the eggs, I think, should cost more than a personal evolution:
E.g. a khaam dropped Onus egg = 60, to evolve = 75, to gorge-lay = 85--this would, as a happy coincidence, mean skulk eggs would cost 10pres and not be free.
Now, dear internet users, please do you thing, and try to mercilessly destroy my Idea and/or [delete as applicable] Suggestion.
Yours

As for them building eggs, I can't really say. Might be worth trying.
but personally i do like this idea, it can be a great way to share resources, similar to how marines can drop weapons for each other.
You know, i actually didn't consider that, but that still requires you to be at 100. This would allow a support character to res-share at 60 p-res, gnome sayin'.
*Edit*
Also, how much are you sharing then at that point? Are you sharing enough for an Onus egg in an Onus egg's build time?
Gorge egg ception
...so yeah
Then a teammate can "use" the fertilized egg and evolve to a higher lifeform at cost minus 25 res.
