    When my server saw "60 vs 60 matches" it curled up, whimpered and refused to let me VNC to it any more <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    ROFL!
    I remember when they made this big deal about having a 64 player game on a Q2 server.
    They actually managed to get working after some tweaking........ then someone just couldn´t take the stress anymore and fired his weapon *REBOOT*

    Man, that was a long time ago.

    Now that I think about it....this thread makes an excellent point. I keep watching Aliens half the time I play this game so...if that's any indication of fun....habit...or...insanity. I think there are any number of things you could do with NS...although being somewhat restricted by the HL engine doesn't help but...I have seen what they've done building NS so, I think they can do anything. Right now this is just...the tip of the ice berg of things we can do.

    Just wait, the dev's have jobs...school...lifes, outside of this mod...well, so we hope...they can't spend 24/7 on it. I mean, it took quite a while just to build it. Bid your time and wait....soon enough....this will get...VERY intersting.

    Well, I've seen Tribes 2 servers with more than 64 people. Runs OK, really, as long as not everyone is in the same room then it's laggy. But still doesn't crash the server, and you usually can't get everyone in the same room during normal play as they kill each other too fast.

    By the way, why are people assuming the giant armoured two-headed flame-throwing cockroach would be an alien? I say it's a marine. Why?

    Flamethrower would be a marine weapon. Obvious.
    It's an insect. Aliens are based on mammals. The NS backstory doesn't say anything about what the humans are based on.
    It has two heads. All aliens have one head, but marines have two heads, see:

    Finally, a cockroach has quite heavy armour for its size, and it would be pretty impressive for a giant cockroach. The other exoskeleton-based lifeform is the Human HA marine. (you might suspect the HA marine has bones, but really, those are just for animation purposes. Ever seen the inside of a HA to prove it has bones? Hah.

    So, any other conclusive proofs that the cockroach is a marine class?
