For the next Dragonfly update I am still unsure which of the possibilities you can vote for in the poll I should use.
I have a favourite but if it turns out that a significant majority prefers another option, I am willing to take that in account.

How should the Mosquito interact with the Dragonfly?

Poll
A Mosquito on ground level can adapt the movement of an uncovered Dragonfly which is placed next to it on the same or a higher level. On top of the hive the Mosquito may move like a Beetle or a Dragonfly. Precondition is that the mimicked bug is already present in the game (covered or uncovered). In general, the transportation ability is not available for the Mosquito.
Like in the current Dragonfly version 1.2: The Mosquito can only adapt the movement of the Dragonfly, if placed next to it and the Dragonfly is uncovered. Precondition is an unoccupied hex field to land on. Accordingly, a Mosquito can not get on top of the hive using the Dragonfly move, neither can it use the Dragonfly`s transportation ability. As hitherto, a Mosquito will only move onto the top of the hive as a Beetle, then continue to move as a Beetle until it climbs down.
The Mosquito can only adapt the movement of the Dragonfly, if placed next to it and the Dragonfly is uncovered. On top of the hive the Mosquito will without any exception move like a Beetle until it climbs down to ground level.
The Mosquito can only adapt the movement of the Dragonfly, if placed next to it and the Dragonfly is uncovered. On top of the hive the Mosquito will move like a Beetle. If a Dragonfly is placed next to it (uncovered on the same or higher level) it may choose to move like a Beetle or a Dragonfly.

Here is another possibility Svartisen suggested in another thread:

The Mosquito can copy the movement of any uncovered creature on an adjacent field (on any level), but only if this movement does not end on top of the hive.

If you like this option, leave a post or give this comment a thumbsup (using it as a counter)

I voted for Option 4 as that makes the most sense to me. HOWEVER, Option 3 to me is the best compromise if one most be made, especially due to its simplicity and covering many (if not all) interaction problems with future potential bugs.

Note: This is "DrRaven" from Boardspace hi Euc!

Hi Raven,

what most of the people voting for option 4 forget is the already several time mentioned missing logic that the Mosquito could have moved on top of the hive by adapting a Dragonfly while no Beetle is in the game.
In my opinion it should only move like a Dragonfly then but this causes problems as soon a Beetle comes into play.
At the moment I think Svartisens very restrictive solution works the best especially if there are more expansions to expect which deal with the top of the hive although it is a bit disappointing that the Mosquito will stay on ground level. - For game balance this is a win.
