    Don't quote me, but I think it's like leap, only.. you "charge" someone...

    You press fire once and it increases your forward speed and you due damage everytime you bump into a structure/marine You can take down a turret in about a second an a half and a little shorter for a ha marine.

    is charge fps based? If so, how did they change it for 1.1 currently? Anyone know?

    In 1.04, I believe that charge is fps-based. In 1.1, nothing depends on fps. I don't know how this was done, but it is in the changelogs somewhere.

    I know it's not fps based.. I was wondering that the damage per tick was... maybe I'll just search for it...

    charge 101.
    stand on the building you wish to destroy, look down, charge, marvel as the health bar shoots down.

    ive never been able to kill anything with it, my dude scream s and then i kinda stand up against structures getting shot, and not damaging much either.

    must be because with 5 guys shooting at me im getting 17 fps.

    Just a note: you have to hold down forward while you run into stuff, and you don't need to keep clicking charge like some people do...

    AS it is just now, with 100fps it takes 3 charges to kill the CC :o if a 100 FPS skulk leaps he can do anywhere from 300-500 damage, imagine what the onos does.

    But all alien abilities are explained in the instruction manual from either the main NS page (the menu titled world or something like that) or your NS directory <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    i run around 100 fps, but ive never done that much damage with leap, that enought to kill a HA in one shot

    in vents tho leap is the best, becuase its pretty hard to miss the marine

    My questions was, how is 1.1 charge set up? since they killed the fps based damage *I'm glad* I'd like to know how they've changed charge... anyone know?
