I think the hivemind should be more of a hivemind rather than just backseat gamers and acid spitters.
Instead of just the acid spit, why not give a second row of buttons for a type of attack you want to make?
Spit acid, tentacle slap, tentacle grip (grip players to reel them in as mentioned or a floor/object to pull the ling towards/hurl) The main counter to a ling is 'keep at least 1 tile between you and it'. Needs more range capability than just acid spit which on it's own does miniscule damage.
Maybe even leave those abilities to be used by the master even outside of horror form.
Horror form shouldn't just be 'break glass in case of emergency'.
Changeling has a lot of potential to be the creepy thing in the maints that would actually be scary to encounter.
And I know I've said this a thousand times, but capu stings are very noticable and the ling's success in capturing someone falls onto the victims whim on whether or not they want to scream out over comms or just run away into a crowded area.
