Now hear me out, I may be a drooling retard. In fact THE drooling retard who made the meta of drool macros
but I think that carriers either need a strain or to be in their base kit where for a very large amount of plasma they can generate a single hugger. My reasoning for this is that carriers as they are need to run ALLLLLLLLL the way back to the hive if there isn't a competent burrower in order to restock and not be an objectively useless caste. No marine nor xeno caste is made useless in a way like this, and it becomes even worse when the hive gets raided, you literally can't recover as a carrier and may as well just devolve or go die.
I don't think that Shamans need any changes tho, their effects are far too strong to be able to generate eggs in any capacity or be spammable.
TL;DR let me have carrier back, let me be uncucked and generate my own huggie bois and not feel terrible each time I use one and know that imma have to run back to hive to then get RSI clicking on eggs 3 times per huggers (placing, opening, putting on back)
EDIT:
i also miss eggsac and want it back
