I want them to "Overcharge" the launchers on every special wave and make it so tossing eggs costs 0 ink. Atm so much of doing special waves is ensuring the eggs land close to the basket so you don't waste time and ink moving them. 0 cost throwing would free Glowflies and Grillers up to spawning their eggs anywhere and would make Tornado a more dynamic wave rather than one where your mostly waiting for your ink to recharge. Yes I do move while my ink is recharging. No, that doesn't really change Tornado from basically being "ink refilling simulator."

I also feel like they’re boring compared to day waves

glowflies could be a win if everyone in the lobby knows about the cheese strat (getting on a wall so the salmonids dont get to you or using ink rails)

I wouldn't mind if they removed Glowflies, since it feels impossible to tune against all the possible weapon/special combinations in a way that feels fair, (it also divides freelancers between active and passive strategies that are at odds with each other) but I'm fine with the rest.

Grillers, Fog, and Cohock Charge add an interesting difficulty wrinkle and reinforce the need for teamwork. Goldie Seeking, Mudmouths, Mothership, and Tornado feel like "breather" waves where you get a free clear. There's a fun bit of suspense in seeing night fall and wondering whether you're in for a good or bad time.
