Ehh.. If there is a choice between nickname and ckey, then xeno nickname would be the MRP choice and ckey would be the LRP.

Have you seen some of the marines' nicknames my dude ? I'm telling you that Ckey would be MRP, and not nickname. Also, xeno is supposed to be LRP anyway.

A simple xeno buff would to be just reduce the time needed to evolve. Each T3 is a 15 minute investment, with T2 and T1 requiring similar time to age to the point they are combat capable. That means when you join as xenos you can't play the game for 10 -15 minutes. That's just, bad.

t3 mature (t3 young suck and arent combat ready) is 25 minutes without boosted evo at round start and thats if ticks are 1 to 1 (wouldnt be suprised if server lag or something slows it down)

I hadn't even thought of that. Really, why are xenos so bad? We're supposed to be 'The Perfect Organism' but instead marines chase us down without fear. No one respects or fears xenos, their like Chihuahua's, all bark no bite.

its not that people dont fear us, but the good players realize that massive aggression is a good tactic against xenos because it catches people off guard and makes them run which breaks unit cohesion. There are castes that can punish massive aggression like boiler, spitters, and queen, but if those players dont do their job or run when they shouldnt then it leads to all of us getting over run.

Thinking about the 25 minutes timer, it cant be right cause if there are mature t3 at 25 mintues its just barely and thats with 150% evo for the first 30 minutes. So ya a tick isnt 1 to 1 theres no way.

Related to what someone said about xenos... I wouldn't call xeno LRP... more like MRP

They've been cracked down on for OOC IC and reeeing/memeing before.

I think Queen could use another ability that mildly increases Evolution and Upgrade points. This way she can push forward castes that she wants without having to micromanage the entire hive, instead she can just be like who wants to be a boiler? You, okay here's 10 or so evo points, now evo rushin lurkers can't nab all T2 slots.

Queen can just devolve people who she doesnt want to evolve

True but most people don't like having to pick someone to devolve. If you want to be a liked Queen devolving someone at random feels arbitrary
This would be more of a carrot to the devolves stick.
