the idea wass new races.... new looking.. its bit boring playing always with just 2 races... any way this new races.. should be a mix within melee and ranged... or other styles like psykik attacks... mind control... other robot race
or cyborgs... u know more cool stuff.. i think ns source diserves more than just be more of the same with better graphics ( like cs source and dod source )

    So I was thinking about that post from a few days ago talking about psychic robots, and while it's a really bad idea, it did bring this to mind:

    What if the CC could be upgraded into a vehicle? The commander could access some areas (obviously not vents) and move with the marines?

    You could do all sorts of stuff from there. Upgrade a mounted weapon and have another player hop in to pilot it. Of course it would have to be balanced but that's simple once the idea is innovated.

    EDIT: Specifically I like the idea of turning the CC into a strider/atst-type walker.

    Portable or dynamic hives aren't such a bad idea, see some of the stuff about it in the suggestions forum. But hives using devour is pretty dumb. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    maybe u can tell how many resources/kills an alien has like a skulk with 1 kill maybe small and a skulk with 5 kills large then normal so you give variety to the <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skulk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::skulk::" border="0" alt="skulk.gif" /> and so on and so forth maybe a wider / faster <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/lerk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::lerk::" border="0" alt="lerk.gif" /> ? and a gorge who likes to build maybe when he gets points he gets fatter? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pudgy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::gorge::" border="0" alt="pudgy.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pudgy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::gorge::" border="0" alt="pudgy.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pudgy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::gorge::" border="0" alt="pudgy.gif" />

    I did not make this, but ALL these ideas were posted in the I&S!

    On a related note:
    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->I was thinking that if you had your hand granade out, when an onos eats you, you should be able to pull the pin drop it and let it explode. Killing yourself and hurting the Onos in the process.

    Not sure exactly on the damage such a thing would do but still it would be nice =) It would teach those Onos to eat people tounge.gif

    I was also thinking about the knife if you had it in your hand you could try to hack your way out of it. I dunno what the timer would be or, if healing from a D.chamber/Hive would do to help.

    Sorry if this was suggested before and rejected. It would still be a cool idea biggrin-fix.gif<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    This is officially one of my favourite threads <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    My moving hive idea came from somewhere on the forums. I remember someone mentioning it somewhere awhile back, and just decided it would be a good idea. I was also playing NS and was staring at the hive "spit" out skulks when someone spawned. I just combined the two ideas to make a portable killing (and spawning) machine.

    And yeah, I got carried away on that one with the marines shooting it, but here is what is supposed to happen afterwards...

    <img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/dmustillo/EndofMarines.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

    This thread should have an ongoing legacy, one that lasts until no more suggestions to NS are posted...

    On a side note, I loved the comic about the onos and the grenade...and the thing with the hovering scorpion.
