Thank you so much for letting us see some screenies. Guys, a <i>LOT</i> of things are changing for 1.1, so please don't comment on specific aspects of the game until you've experienced it as a <i>whole</i>. That's right, I'm saying please reserve judgement until you've <i>played</i> 1.1.
Please keep the screenshots coming <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
For the next batch of screens [hopefully soon], can there be one of the turrets firing with their new smoke effects? I'm really interested in how they will look.

WOW I wanna see more screenshots! All 3 chambers at hive 1 is going to so own! Can you take some screenies of Sensories cloaking structures... and the hive (if it does)?

Well, you guys all know it's true. How many times have you heard "don't just let 'em run off! Run after 'em" Being yelled by the comm and or other marines?

Yeah, I unfortuantly do. Mart is on ADSL in Sydney and I'm on a 56k on the Sunshine Coast (1 hour north of Brisbane, which is Central East coast) . All considering, that is actually a very low ping (I normally get 500-700 to West coast 1.04 servers) and I don't recall expiriencing any lag while playing.
thanks for the screenies. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> keep us updated with the playtesting reports.

I have a question. For some reason, recently in CS whenever I go into overview mode (which is the mode depicted int he very first image in this thread) I jump up to about 4095 ping. Would anyone have any idea why that would happen? (It didn't happen before) and do you think it'll be like that for NS as well?
they sure looks good... a release date *ahem <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->* lol would be nice
It's going to be really fun actually meeting some resistance when onos, rather than just running in their base and killing all their IP's. The question raised earlier 'to get a hive or not to get a hive' is a good one; I can forsee a lot of different strategies based around the new res system, rather than the fairly rigid strategies currently, especially for the aliens. An example of a new strategy could be ignoring the hives completely and focusing on res nodes, evolving the whole team to fades or onos to defend the res nodes and then taking the hives or marine base dependant on circumstances.
The only bad thing about all these improvements is that I don't really want to play 1.04 anymore (I have the same problem with DoD 3.1b.) Until 1.1 comes out, I'm playing AvP2 for my dose of stealthy kill-fun <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yeah, problem is though, most marines seem to think that when the fade starts to run it's "rest and reload time" and instead of running after the fade, which is obviously badly damaged and running away to heal, they just sit there and reload and wait for the fade to come back at 100% health.
Second....we can all hope that even the newbies will learn a few tactics after playing awile.

yah considering how long it takes to save 80 res i dont think to many people are gonna save for hive once 1.1 is out
considering the resource model will change, you don't know how long that will take, though likely a long time to preserve balance, all of this will be tested and you should just wait.
Show us some more juicy shots.
