I noticed on those pictures that there are some new area to eclipse like the a vent leading from horse shoe to the marine base and that the computer core hive entrance has been changed a bit
seems to me that marines are a bit overpowered in the current 1.1 version. Look at the frags on tanith and also on the HMG ownage on eclipse... But maybe the pics are just <i>a bit</i> deceiving <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Is that electrified TF effect going into the 1.1 release? It looks terrible, Its just glowing <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

the 100 res thing is wonderful. ive seen many a game where the marines are in one hive and barely fending off the enemies at chokepoints, and the thing is that aliens cannot upgrade themselves at all, while the marines can soak up the res they get to upgrade forever. so given 30 minutes of stalemate the marines will always overpower the aliens in 1.04. in 1.1 it looks like stalemates will no longer occur.
that is a yay.
as for you complaining about the white glowing TF, i think it looks great, and you guys are jsut desensitised from the coolness of the glow effect from tis use in admin mods and voogru style res nodes. for us who play straight-up NS it is a welcome graphical change.
I think this 100 res thing is a terrible idea.... wait.... Maybe they can get 100 res, but are unable to evolve to onos or fade until they get the other hives. This would be fine. that way the aliens can imediately evolve when they get a new hive and the marines can't take the hive down before anyone can evolve. I'm guessing this is what they're doing, I don't see how they could keep the game balanced and allow aliens to get onos with one hive.
Show us the marine radar (mini map) in the next pictures please. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Electrified TF doesn't look spectacular but looks good enough. Like someone said were all too used to "glow white"!
eh... those pics arent TOO great... how about show us some skulks upside down or some new alien abilities. Ive seen all of this <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->. Thanks for the pics tho
i dont like the no alien scores thing... its been established in an older thread that showing scores for aliens actually makes them play better, because aliens are essentially rambos most of the time.
i think aliens have all the teamplay they need without having to hide scores. oh well.
Yes, the aline FOV is being toyed with. It was in original testing, but was taking out when Flayra thought he could get software suport in (software cant handle non normal FOV), but once it became obvious software could bnever be supproted, its back in, and we all love it.
As for Onos at one hive, its possible. But of course the game has been retweaked. They still can kill lots, but we had beaten down packs of Onos with LMG's and pistols only <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
eh thats no fun... you can beat down packs of onos with lmgs? aww.... i think it should be like... you can get that 1 onos... but then you got him and a bunch of skulks and we all know marines>skulks so he would be your whole army. OR you could go 1 lerk 1 fade and rest skulks, or just 3 lerks a system like that (this is of course going by starting res.) would be quite nice for strategy sake.
Aliens can evovle to any alien at one hive. To counter this, their upgrades will only be at level one at one hive, yet they can have all three chambers.
Aliens weaponry will be limited to one hive, so as it stands, the onos will have only weapon 1 and weapon 2, fade Slash and acid rocket, etc...
The incentive for hives is still there however, in the form of new weapons for the alien team, higher level upgrades and increased spawning rate...
The above was written using my general knowledge, if anything is wrong, please, tell me...
I like the idea of being able to evolve to any alien at 1 hive, It should help on pubs. I'm growing tired of comms trying to lock down hives when we could be doing better things like getting res or upgrades or actually attacking the aliens!
Mainly cos now it will be HOLY **** they've got onos, but the game aint over.......
Adds a new element to the game, ie the real fun of being a level 5 alien, due to the marines not beaing beaten back and 1/2 dead.
Also the fact that Fade and onos are not gods of the game despite what you may believe, a good marine team can cut down a fade or 2 like nothing.
Are there any plans on redemption tweaking? Cos I keep getting teleported back the the hive and dying <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Please say you'll be changing how the elecrtified TF looks before release, I think using the glow function on the model with white is kinda...I dunno looks cheesey <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
