A few questions

Scatman

<div class="IPBDescription">Just a few faq that jumped to mind</div>ok I am sorry if these questions seem stupid or they have been already awnsered but anyway:

1. Are you allowed to evolve down?

2. Is Evolving a premanant status, or when u die, do you go back to your previous lvl or a lvl down?

3. I read somewhere that the aliens were able to get special abilies, is this true? and if so what are they?

4. Is the only way for marines to get weapons/tools by the commander to drop them near the soldiers?

This is all I can think of atm, but i am sure others will add more. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

1. i think so
2. i think that if you die you go to level 1
3. you mean like flying?
4. i think they start with some weapons, i am not sure

1. Yes, but it will still cost resources
2. You spawn as a lvl1
3. Each alien has a very unique abilty, such as:

Level 1 can walk on walls
Level 2 can build buildings
Level 3 can fly/glide
Level 4 can transport aka. blink
Level 5 hard to explain

4. Yes, or pickup weapons that other Marines have dropped, I think you spawn with a knife, pistol, and lmg.

Other than that, welcome to the forums. And read trhe FAQs and stuff.

Lvl 5's special ability is : Run over everything without fear of serious retribution.

I mean, he's soooo big!

Thanks for not asking for the release date... Don't ever.

Welcome to the forums.

In response to number 3.

There are a number of abilities for each class, each one has quite a few, not just the ones listed by Yoshi (just to avoid confusion). I don't know if they will all stay or if they will be modified at all so I wont list specifics, but the ones in play now are extremely cool.

I think that for number 3 he was refering to the alien upgrades such as stealth, silent run and that kind of stuff.

ALiens have 3 upgrade chambers, sensory, defence and stealth. Each chamber has different abilities from which the alien can choose 1 from each chamber. More advanced abilities come from more hives/upgrade chambers.

4) Yes, only the commander can give out more advanced weapons than those they start out with.
