<div class="IPBDescription">Invincible skulks, mountains of RP</div> It was a strange night last night. I played both kharaa and marines. First game I join as kharaa I notice we have ridiculously many resources. Like 400 or so, and that with but 3 players on each team - the game was too early for 2nd hive. This seemed very strange. Played on, beat the marines.


I switch server, new one and join as late game kharra, getting our ... (well kharaa don't eat so they don't have arses .... uh.... ) .... er various body parts handed to us as minced meat. New game. I see kharaa in READY ROOM HOLDING A GUN! Now that's funny. Anyway, we join.

Game has been running for about 5 minutes and I see that the kharaa must have immsense resources. They have put up gigantic chamber forests too fast and too close to our own bawse.

Also we're overrun by PHANTOM SKULKS. They run about, dont do any damage but neither can we kill them. Very frustrating when you find some that ARE dangerous.

Another game: MArines have an almost complete base when I join, quite early in the game. Resources pour in fast. Aliens don't stand much of a chance.

All in all, a very disturbing night of NS gaming. Anyone tried similiar?

Especially the aliens with guns,I don't think so. Nextime press F5 to take screenshots of proof or give the ip of this server.

    How did you know that you have 400 resources on the alien team? Aliens can only see their own resources.

    The 'phantom skulks' are a readyroom bug. It treats people like they are in the readyroom (cant attack, cant take damage) but they are in the game with the normal players.

    There are a couple little bugs and things still in the game but...most of what your talking about RP wise could be server admin related. I was in one where the aliens were given max RP's all the time...so whenever someone used some to like...build a hive...it was totally filled next RP hit. Strange thing but...kinda fun for me as an alien...
