Opt out of the hivemind.

[UrsulaMejor]

On top of that, get rid of the suicide lock when being absorbed. Unlike vampires, lings don't get reduced points if their target suicides, and suiciding lets you keep your name in the afterlife.

It sucks that there's no way out of being in the hivemind after you're in, and it sucks that the game forces you to be in it before you're even dead.
