the vent goes on forward and left, the drop down is optional. its an exit fromthe vent. you can gorge and drop as many of whatever type of chamber you want, but each chamber has a limit per area (ie, only so many in a hall of such and such a size.) this limit is fluid, according to hives, level, type of chamber, etc. only one upgrade chamber per hive, until you start unlocking new things. certain high-level chambers might only have a limit of one per map. you can recycle chambers. you get experiance for your chambers kills, and only your chambers kills.

you can get any upgrades you want, even 1.0 ones. the theory is that the hive "remebers" everything. the s is a typo, supposed to be a 2. here is a complete list of unlocked basic evolutions:
well im gunna try and become a Stealth lerk mainly Silence Adren Cloaking Celerity and all the rest But for now can i jsut evolve to get redemption please? then later ill prolly get one int and then evolve to get everysingle sens there is <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> (apart from focus cuz i dont think i wat that.)
focus is an upgrade designed to increase damage, at a cost to hit%. it removes a select number of dex point modifyers and applyes them to str. instead. it can be applied to any skill. the correct format for taking focus is "focus <skillname> <#points>" focus is best for high dex charicters who hit consistantly but wish to do more damage. it is important to gauge how many points to put in an attack, as too many will leave you unable to hit. eg, a basic lerk (+1 str. and +8 dex.) takes 4 points of focus in lerkbite. it then bites a civillian (lvl 0). its to hit modifier is reduced by -4 and its damage is increased by +4 (treat as if +5 str. and +4 dex.). if you take too much focus hitting will be difficult. ie, that same lerk takes 9 points of focus. it would then hit at +10 (an instant kill if the enimy has no armor) but gets -2 on the hitroll (you have to roll at least 3 points higher then a lvl 0 enimy to hit). you can only take focus in one skill, and you cannot change it without gestating. focus will not affect /dodge but both its penalty and bonus will apply to /parry.
well ok <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> so i just need a chamber... Is this gunna be like Combat or Ns?
its gunna be a little like both, i imagine. plus some stuff from the S&I forums, maybe. and whatever else i feel like throwing in. and if you suggest something (upgrades and chambers especially! c'mon, be creative) theres a good chance you'll get it. some of the things i intend to allow, such as eating-chambers, never appeared in NS and probly never will. the only restrictions on upgrades are 1.) you have to have the minimum stats over your class requirements and 2.) you must have the upgrade chamber required. special upgrades are gunna need a special upgrade chamber (i.e. if you want to evolve parasitical touch or mechanical accuity you would need a specialty chamber). the one chamber per hive limit is revoked, but additional hives will allow you bigger/better chamber combinations. thoeretically, everyone could gorge and stuff every inch of the compound with OC's up to the chamber cap. dunno what you'ld do after that, though. maybe build a WOL big enough to shoot down passing spaceships? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

not true. the male version of sam is short for samual. the long version of most western names are masculine or feminine, as they decline in latin. Artemis, despite being a female godess, is of a declention where masculine and feminine were shared (the masculine form of Artemis is Artemis. the nuter is Arteme). to add anouther layer of obscusification, she was a masculine godess; engaging in hunts, war, and some of the coldest forms or revenge. in contrast even a male poet was referred to as a feminine noun.
as for the hypothetical, no that doesnt stack. to fuigure out if you hace enough stats just add up everything for your final outfit. so if you were a lerk with all the sensory upgrades, and wanted to evolve to a fade with regen, you would only need fade (9, 12, 9) plus regen (+4 con= 9, 12, 13). you can drop upgrades whenever you gestate.

demi, you dont have any chambers. so you cant get any upgrades yet.
focus is an upgrade designed to increase damage, at a cost to hit%. it removes a select number of dex point modifyers and applyes them to str. instead. it can be applied to any skill. the correct format for taking focus is "focus <skillname> <#points>" focus is best for high dex charicters who hit consistantly but wish to do more damage. it is important to gauge how many points to put in an attack, as too many will leave you unable to hit. eg, a basic lerk (+1 str. and +8 dex.) takes 4 points of focus in lerkbite. it then bites a civillian (lvl 0). its to hit modifier is reduced by -4 and its damage is increased by +4 (treat as if +5 str. and +4 dex.). if you take too much focus hitting will be difficult. ie, that same lerk takes 9 points of focus. it would then hit at +10 (an instant kill if the enimy has no armor) but gets -2 on the hitroll (you have to roll at least 3 points higher then a lvl 0 enimy to hit). you can only take focus in one skill, and you cannot change it without gestating. focus will not affect /dodge but both its penalty and bonus will apply to /parry.
so i just need a chamber...
