    I think their should be an alien inbetween the fade/skulk... Like a Larger Skulk. Or a Fade on 4 legs... Wait, that sounds like an Onos <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> lol....

    i was thinking of an ability for marines, that would cost 5 ability points on combat maps. Mind control! U could take over an alien and control it. Maybe u have to camp somewhere and not get killed. Imagine onos vs. fade wars.. of course u would need a HUGE cool down time. I was also thinking of flamethrowers for the marines. Or atleast remote mines ( goldeneye fan <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) And for those who've ever played MSG2: Substance, why not a remote controlled missle? I was thinking also of a remote controlled scout that tha marines could get. A little rover thing that drives around and could record stuff.
    As i have noticed in alot of combat maps, aliens are way over powered. I've been palying NS for 3 weeks now, and have an average score of like 45 to 0 no lie. its become so pitiful almost, that i rejoin the server everytime i die, to make it seem more real. On that headcrab idea.... if there ever is a new alien, he should have a slot 4 weapon, that u could control a dead marine body, but he would have to move slower, but could be shot alot, since hes a zombie thing. I really love the idea of ppls weapons being used against themselves. I've always viewed of NS as starcraft from first person, and thats exactly what kind of map im going to work on. a huge open map, that will be made for massive player counts. prolly around 25-30. I hope to see missle turrets, marines cloaking. the best idea i have is to have vehicles. I cannot stress this enough on how much games like Battlefield, Tribes, and halo have become so popular based on the vehicles. I have already made a "tank" for a map im making, but u cant drive or anything. ill be posting my drawings at a later time. Ill atleast come up with a mole thing and that zombie idea....


    Also imagine an alien that could mole through walls, altho i think this would require some serious coding. And the holes are left open, until the mairnes weld it shut again, and slulks and jerks could follow these mole creatures. Im coming up with more ideas, and im gonna make a small idea book, if u guys wanna partae in this, aim me at sniperelite914.

    Taken from Den's image, I tried out my hand at drybrushing in photoshop sort of also this is the first time I have ever tried to paint in photoshop, I've only done stuff like this in RL.

    I didn't come up with this idea, it was thought of in a fan fiction


    This is the BABY version of the Onii, a GIAGANTICE onos of HUGE proportions


    Notice the marines and com chair for size... and the head crab and resource node (a cookie to the first one to spot the res node (the NODE, NOT THE NOZZEL))

    BTW- I did this in all of... 15 minutes in church XD

    A scrab creatures would be really cool, a paramite would also be awsome but i dont think people want to steal content from other games... unless its totally reworked.

    What about the Rana? It looked so cool. If you would add some more NS alien details it would fit perfectly. I mean that pipes on the Khaara are a must have for a frog type!

    I'll try to edit the Rana concept a bit so it fits better. I personaly don't like the back legs... doesn't fit that frog somehow. Also it gets some pipes and spikes <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Oh if you see that pic in the near future sonewhere the only credit I take are the ideas. The best thing I can draw is a stickyman. A friend of mine will do it.

    Pipes couldnt be added at the time because of a map that was compiling. Was slowing down the computer too much.

    I could add something to it sometime tomorrow. Won't be busy then.

    EDIT: still though, Im not to sure how to do it. The photoshop I have doesn't have custom textures. Which is a must for the infestation effect.
  • TyrainTyrain Join Date: 2003-01-03 Member: 11746Members
    Yay. Yours pretty cool too but I was talkin about another alien ^^

    I attach the pic of the one I already tweaked a bit. As stated above I'm "really" poor in drawing. Those are only the ideas... my friend wasn't online yet so he couldn't do anything.

    Oh and here goes the original by Deunen:

    My fiend draw the new rana and I think it looks pretty cool. Theres not much difference between the origina<l one and the tweaked one besides the legs and the pipes. Still I think the new one looks better. (it needs some tweaks though).

    I will show it to you as soon as my friends scanner work <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    WHEEE! PAINTED A TINY BIT MORE!

    i dunno if this has been suggested before, but what if there was a serpent-like alien that moved really fast in water. If anyone wants an example of the creature i'm looking for. Here's one from WoW.

    "See, i've been practicing, i made a Skulk-Rat" ... LOL!!!

    [just to add-in, there IS a concept shot of a water-based alien, but when you see how much water is in NS maps you begin to understand why they were not implemented.]

    How about a high level alien that can disperse itself into a gaseous form! Think Nightcrawler in X-Men 2.

    It would be a large flying swarm that resembles a swarm of flies. It would hover around marines and do damage similair to that of lerks gas cloud but more dangerous. Marines would kill it by either shooting it (very ineffective), knifing it (slightly more effective), welding (effective) or with a possible introduction of the flamethrower!!! w00t! Then the swarm would fall to ground quick. This alien could switch between its original form (dunno what that would be) and the swarm but that would take a bit of time. Oh, just remembered something. If you have seen the Metal Gear Solid snake eater trailer, well my alien would work like the bee hive hehe. The swarm could also damage the vision of marines eyes temporarily making it the ideal support class.

    Yea like black locust swarms in the desert areas. That pic of your alien design looks cool! Perhaps it could act as a mobile hive or something like that. Just noticed one thing, its teeth. They look like teeth of a herbivore, not a fierce alien mutha. Try making them sharper to fit with the rest of your design.
