The skulk is supposed to be a punishment. Unfortunately balance mod has fixed the purpose of playing alien which is of course not playing skulk. I have a suggestion to fix this.
Currently the flying defiler only has darkswarm and a really shitty version of plague. We need to add the third and best ability of the defiler.
Therefore we must add consume. When any alien life form is consumed the flying defiler will gain 50 energy up to a maximum of 200. This makes skulks optimal to consume and therefore places them into their proper role. In order to encourage people to play the flying defiler we need to buff plague and dark swarm. Dark swarm should make all aliens underneath it invincible to everything except grenade launchers and flame throwers. Plague needs to do 400 damage but not actually killing anything. Therefore marines will eventually end up at 1 hp after being hit by plague.
All of these things will fix the skulk and place it back into its proper role. Skulk will now be a punishment again because you will be consumed by flying defilers.

For who is it supposed to be a punishment ?
I'm sure it was NOT designed to be a punishment, when you lose your advanced life form you don't enjoy a game that "punish" you for 10 min with an useless lifeform. You want to have fun wih your alien (killing marines, biting RT,...)
They are Starcraft I/II Zerg abilities. OP is either stupid or trolling, I would assume.
Either that, or he is trying to say that Skulks should be consumed for extra [insert bonus to higher lifeform here].

So you see, frantix; you will get there.
Solution: Overlords cost 200 res and can only be created while the 7th hive is at exactly 45%.
and we can Parasite without needing Queens.
the op wasn't offensive, he wasn't insulting... but he also wasn't really being funny... i don't know what the purpose of this thread is.
maybe the funny was lost in translation... when it was translated into my mother tongue.
When prior expectations are suddenly turned around into absurdity, recipients may elicit a humor response to compensate for their confusion.
ah absurdist humor. not particularly my cup of tea. but I concede the point.
