Can we assimilate pie? It would make being a drone so much more comfortable...

Sooooo, when we get to zeros on the skill table, does that mean we pick the first 'zero' skill? Any 'zero' skill we want? or do we then start working on secondary skills? For example, I just took Claws - the top 'zero' skill. Should I have waited for more spp to get a seondary?

Skilling depends how you read the skills table. You've gone with the "of sixteen" build.

Block 13
Frenzy 4
Tackle 2
Dauntkess 2

I feel you needed another Frenzy and another Dauntless before you ask that question. And when you do, I don't know the answer Very Happy

Sorry guys. I have not had time to update the hive mind. Life is just hectic right now. I will do it when I can.

I have 'sixteen' in the player names, but not sixteen in actual player numbers.

From the progression page:
"Check out how often a team of the size of yours may feature this skill: Pick the column that corresponds with the current size of your team..."


I'll emphasize the key words.... "current size"

So, what the names of my player are, .... is irrelevant.

Ie, .... the question remains an issue for my next skill upgrade.

Move onto Secondaries, which is Dodge, for most players.

Clearly I missed that bit.

I don't see why any assimilated skill should ever sit at zero.

But, how do we ever get to secondaries and stat increases if we turn all those 'zero' skills into 'one' skills?

The Hive needs to figure this out. Do we leave it to chance?.... 50% - pick the next zero (are they in some kind of order?) or go for the next secondary/stat up. It is the world of Nuffle.

If you want the zero skills, find players who have them, and assimilate them.

Show the program is worthy of installation. The Hive will not be subverted with deliberately bugged programs so easily.

There are currently 9 (G or M) 'zero' skills. If they all became 1s, it would take 9 extra skills across the team before you could start taking secondary or stats on maruders. It'd make for some interesting drones.

In my opinion you either keep them 0s and can't choose them until more are assimilated, or change the formula and make any assimilated skills minimum 1.

If we consider the BORG genre, a lot of drones have unique tool sets. But, there isn't THAT much diversity, so, I support the 2nd option: Once we hit zeros, we go back to the top of the list and fill from there (secondaries and stats - in the order they appear). Until I receive a HIVE Directive to the contrary, that's what Comp Cube 003 will be doing.
