<div class="IPBDescription">Four slides from hera</div>I was commanding this game.  We were out of resources at our main base so we had to move through the dark tunnels of hera, over to the generator room.  Here you see Comprox, Cynanide, Rob6264 and someone else (?) advancing to take this resource node.  Playing the part of the aliens we have MonsieurEvil and a bunch of other nameless beings of the swarm.

    is it true that you don't have any alien models ingame at the moment? because I've never seen a screenshot with an alien in it <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->.
    and are you gonna make icons for the commander buttons, like 'siege turret', 'weapon factory' and 'back'?

    btw, nice screenies  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    yeah I noticed. I think you better rename it before blizzard notices it, or the bitching NS fans (like me <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->)

    guys, Stim-Packs is not copywrited to Blizzard at all, many other games have used stimpacks as healing items, ie, fallout, so don't get to worked up! (plus, they were not coded in yet, heh)

    aw, screenies.
    Oh btw, the Hera minimap is giving me a good idea of what the layout should be like. Excellenté.

    does this mean that you can spawn somewhere else then the marine start? <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    BWAHAHAHAH! New tid-bit of info folks! Apparently StimPaks are healing things for the Marines! (In Starcraft, they increased rate of fire while HURTING the player, so we know that Cyanide couldn't have been thinking of those.)

    Don't you just love me? I catch every crumb of info that falls. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Moleculor, umm... <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> Did you happen to notice the "(plus, they were not coded in yet, heh)" part?

    We don't know what they do.  Flayra, and maybe a few others are the only one's who would be "in the know" about stimpack operations.

    My guess is that they probably will act somewhat like they did in Starcraft, without the pain.  A quick speed boost, maybe, but at the cost of resources instead of health.

    Phase gates. They justify respawning as 'phasing in' in NS. Think of it as a temporal vortex that opens up through the space-time continuum, allowing one to 'teleport' to a certain location. Cross-eyed yet?

    In the first screenshot on the ReadyRoom news page, there looks like there is an alien under the crosshair. It's a bit dark but im pretty sure it's not a marine.

    There are alien models ingame, but only the lvl1.  ALl the other aliens (except lvl5) are there but with placeholder models from HL.
