<div class="IPBDescription">Report?</div>Last RC, i think it was before RC5, Flayra was nice enough to give us a report about things changed, bugs fixed, bugs standing, features added. Could you give us another report?
O Fixed jetpack energy problem O Toned down MG, HMG and shottie a little bit O Increased effectiveness of webs again (back the way it was awhile ago) O Fix chat text blocking hints O Tweaked level 3 flight to be more controllable in mid-air O Reduced energy costs for all alien melee attacks so they can take out buildings without having to wait O Reduced flier's flapping cost slightly, reduced fliers spike attack slightly O Removed stimpack (it is opposite of the marines mentality, it'll come back in a different form later) O Hives are no longer visible at game start (not having problems getting marines out of their base these days...glad to have this back) O Lots of weapon effect tweaks: ricochets, texture sounds, shotgun works right, puffs of smoke O New font, consistent with NS logo (thanks Merks!<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> O New eclipse! O New hera! O New caged! O New tanith!

Cool. It looks like the changes are getting more and more minor, I guess that's a good sign. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
I really like those changelogs, i once read the complete changelog of SNES9x, and that log is big, like 10 pages, could be more ^_^ *EDIT* I just checked and it's over 40 pages in wordpad s:D
"all" these changes can only conclude 1 thing...its a rap! (not the song kinda thing...)....soon every child hungering for blood and alien scum will be happy <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
You know guys 2 or 3 years from now we are gonna look back on this, probably while talking to some newbies in NS about how we were around before NS came out and we were there from the beggining, and the newbies will just look at us and laugh calling us crazy old NS players.
Your one to talk. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> All the really <i>0ld 5k00l </i>NS ppl have a sign up date of January (when they switched from the old boards) yours is April, mine's latter that that. So yea. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
Yes, the change lists are getting nice and small, but man, that last change list did wonders for the game! <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
