The reasoning behind this is that it's meant to play possum to those who're not sure you're a ling yet, so the guy caving your head in notices you letting off a death rattle and leaves you alone. If you're knocked unconscious, you literally can't do it, which pigeonholes regen status to only being useful when you've spawned your limb critters. Very silly.
Completely agree on this front. Playing dead should be something Changelings are capable of doing, and at the moment it's a bit impossible when you're only able to do it when standing. You may worry about Changelings spamming the ability but I think thematically that makes sense, Changelings should be hard to kill without a lot of damage very quickly, or gibbing.
Let me also mention in addition to regenerative stasis, let people choose when to get up. As it works at the moment, you press the button, fake death -> 30 seconds later and you pop up, no input on your end. Instead of automatically activating when the timer runs out, you should be able to fake your death indefinitely until you press the regeneration button again.
Let Changelings stage ambushes, play dead - get dragged to medical, and other situations.
