Tech tree/ powered armor question

I read the manual, and I couldn't find anything about that nifty-looking powered armor. Has it been removed? Sorry if this has been answered already, I've been away for a bit.

Also, could a playtester mayber make up and post the tech tree, for aliens as well as marines? I couldn't find a complete tech tree in the manual. Thanks!

    you are talking about Hvy armour, and yes it is in there

    btw/ to make up a tech tree simply use the manual (it is REALY detailed with that)

    either go through the weps to see what each one needs or go through the buildings


    then again a tech tree would realy not be all that good, simply b/c it is so small (in comparison to your standard RTS) as well as the fact that almost every thing requires 2 structures, thus not somuch of a tree as a list of stuff and what it requires (again just look in the manual)

    *ahem*

    No, I'm talking about POWERED armor. The stuff that glowed, and gave off sparks when it was shot. That was around before the Heavy armor. I think it may have been phased out, though.

    I realize the information is in the manual, but I was just hoping to maybe have a small printable version to keep on the desk in front of me, ya know?

    EDIT: This is a pic of what I mean. The marine in the back has glowing powered armor.

    No, Powerarmor is not in anymore, and thank god for it.
    It never was easier to hit those jolly blue snacks than then.

    Heh, cool, thanks for the info.

    Now, anyone feel like compiling a nice PDF file with the tech trees and upgrades in it?

    Oooh, I missed that... thank you! I would assume that the aliens don't have one, because they don't'research' the same way...

    Hm... I guess I'll make a printable one. You're not getting all my blue ink, you ########!!!

    The manual doesnt say anywhere how many rp are needed to evolve into another alien. I could not find it at least. Can someone tell me?

    Bleh.  The manual, as cool as it is, isn't a game manual.  It's more of an introduction and explination to the world of NS.  Apparently there is going to be a lot of in game help to get you started.
