I saw somewhere that <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->NS is <b>NOT</b> starcraft, so stop trying to make it like that!"<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> (Or something like it)
NS is more like starcraft then you think.
Skulk/Zergling: Disposable melee shock troop for rushing. Cheap. Fast. Ugly.
Gorge/Drone: Both have a green spit attack.
Onos/Ultralisk: Big as a truck and can do about as much damage as one rampaging through your base.
Fade/Hydralisk: Clawing (In movies, though not in game), acid spines or something.
Defiler/Lurk: Dark Swarm: Protects allies from enemy attacks, is orange and cloudy. Umbra: Same thing. Plague and Spores, both incredibly damaging.
Queen/Skulk: 'Parasite'.
Queen/Gorge: 'Babblers', little weak annoyances, but without the expense of a marine life.
Hives in general.
The 'Creep' near hives.
Aliens can gradually heal.
Siege Turrets/Siege Tanks: Good against structures, not against units (Not at all in NS, however).
Marines/Marines: They talk funny, and have a big gun.
Flamethrower/Firebat: IF IMPLEMENTED.
The little corner layout in the commander screen looks a lot like SC too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

and if you are a hardcore SCer, you are bound to call skulks zerglings and fades hydralisks
I know this b/c I have gotten the entire CS department at my school hooked on NS, and they are almost all big SC fans ;D
oh, and lets watch the idiots flame you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Heh, in the NSTR, some sounds from Starcraft were used as placeholders.
So its a pretty safe bet that at least a few of the dev's were Starcraft fans <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Regardless, NS is NOT Starcraft, no matter how many similarities you draw.
Its much, much better <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I'm putting my flame-retardant suit and leaving.
yes, there are similarities, they are funny, and no one is trying to say that NS=SC or that Flay ripped off SC (And if they do I beat em
i agree, it does have similarities, they even used starcrafts sounds for awhile, but its a completely different game than starcraft, so everyone needs to stop posting about the games similarities with other games cuz its been done a million times before
THe whole alien race is a spin-off of Starcraft. I'm not complaining. So it's starcraft the FPS.
the rest of us were just sayingm, yes we know it like it, and now get ready to be flamed
hey sire, read my first post in this thread <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
MY GOSH YOUR RIGHT! it IS like half life! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
hehe
*continues to hunt for a hydralisk model to replace fade*

/me crash n burn... dun burn me too much plz
Hmm, I do agree with this hehe, commanding in NS is just like playing Starcraft.
So, all your asian people who are mad about NS...get your **obscenity** in the commanders chair. Better to have you commanding then aimbotting!

(please remember, this was just a -JOKE-!)
If ONE MORE THING was to be implemented from starcraft, I'm 120% all for the C-10 Canister Rifle (Ghost gun).
EDIT: Changed smily. Who the hell uses 0 (Zero) for the mouth of the <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> smiley? IT's more standard to use O (Capital O) or o.
Nother edit: Realized "O (Capital O)" is realyl amusing.
Sounds more like an ultralisk from starcraft being killed.

Actually, the drones shoot spines just as hydralisks do.
Pah!
And again if someone starts a similar thread it gets locked and he is demanded to use the search function.
It is not your job to decide what has to stop.
Psychics, Psychics!!!
You have a counter-strike department at school. that is cool beyond compare.
Starcraft and NS are both brilliant games, and I think comparisons like these, when humorous in intent and not an attempt at debasing the creativity of NS's developers, are appropriate.
Wait, the alien hive voice is an acTRESS? As in female? I'd always assumed it was a male voice...
Pah!

Yes i find it funny that if you post a similar thread, everyone says "Use the search function". When you revive a old thread which you <b>searched</b>, it gets locked.
Hilarious.

LOL! It DOES sound like a dead ultralisk. But zergling doesn't really make that sound when they attack, instead when they are selected. BTW, they make very similar sounds with skulks :S
Gorge is as fat as a drone, onos as fade as ultra, skulks as small as zerglings, fades as sleek as hydra. So... I agree <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
But lerks dont have xenocide... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hmm, what would equal the HA/HMG then? ... A yes! The Goliath! wheeee, lets give the HA ppl a rocket launcher to use against lerks and leaping skulks!
... Jetpacks and Wraiths? But no lasers for the marines :/ (and they can't cloak)
