I'll bet its a revamp of the chamber SYSTEM... something that will let you build any chambers at any hive (or maybe just have the upgrades), but still be balanced.
Maybe it's a revamp of the command system. Adding sub-commanders to handle some of the more trivial duties such as weapon hand-outs and RT dropping. A lot of people have being talking about the difficulty of commanding these days, so it's just a thought.
All you need is a little practise in old strat games like Starcraft and C&C Red Alert 2 with mods - for the speed.
For tactics. Dont think so much just upgrade the damn arms lab <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> (A1, W1-2-3 A2-3)

I'm betting it's something to do with respawns, because they said they were working on a new respawn system. Anyways, I bet we find out by the end of next week when beta4 nears!

I think they're doing a whole bunch of new art for NS! I heard word going around that MadMaxx is working on weapon sounds, but I think that's just rumour.
After strenous research (i.e stealing the idea from somebody else's speculation who actually thought about it) i'd say it's some kind of ranking system, with everyone listed through their steamID so we can see how leet they are and brag that we're in the top 1000 ... a bit like forum post counts!

As to the importance of HAMBONE: He's one of the best NS players in the world, if not the best(with SHAMPOO as best comm. Same clan, called "HAM").
As to the thingeh: They said its gonna change the way its played, so its gonna be big, as said. I'm thinking their gonna revamp the current system. I just hope that whatever it is it actually has bearing on what you do.

Its more of a sim theme park. You build all the equipment, and make sure your marines are happy. Once a marine is mad, he never comes back. Ever.
lol I bet the next big addon is a roller coaster. Weee..

Official story games.....perhaps

This is most intriguing.
Thats usually due to the: "OMG ITS FLAYRA! Omg OMg oMG OMg!?!?!!!111!"
spammage that usually pops up all over the place as soon as he shows himself.

Ahem, very few of these ideas do that.
Think <u><i><span style='font-size:30pt;line-height:100%'><b>BIG</b></span></i></u>
(I tried to make it bigger, but the highest font allowed is 23 <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

So it's somewhat related to competition. The ranking stuff idea might be close.
