The days of the Queen having to order drones and lesser drones to ferry eggs and parasites around are over.This is the second caste to receive a guaranteed tier slot alongside the ...

A smaller but quicker update this time, as there were some bug fixes we had to publish early.Squad Leader / Queen trackersContributed by ShadowCommander and DrSmugleafGone are the days of not knowing where your Squad Leader is as a marine, or where the Queen is as a xenonid.

See the video above for a demonstration!These don't work with camera rotation yet (numpad 7/9), and Command still can't assign an acting SL if one dies or none join, but both w...
