If you liked aldrenaline, you probably haven't tried celerity yet. After you've had celerity, theres no going back. Besides, with 2 hives, Metabolize is like a manual aldrenaline upgrade, but no ability really mimics the advantages of celerity.

Skulk, gorge, lerk, onos fade (in that order, from favorite to least favorite).
Even though I don't like the fade that much, It's still my best alien, so I'm stuck as him half the time <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
But, a lot of times I will own as lerk...
And skulk... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> I love the skulk...even though it needs 10 more armor.
Gorge would be my favorite if spit was stronger, and it had a faster base speed...
I have to say that adren is a deathtrap for fades. So you can blink constantly, unfortunetly anyone who can aim their boomstick will kill you because fade without celerity is too slow. As for my fav alien its definetly fade...hes such a trooper <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Battlegorging is fun if aliens are winning. Web + spit until they die, or until they run away. That's even better, chasing them as a gorgy <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Three blinks should get you far away from danger and with celerity three blinks takes less than 25% of my adrenline bar; in addition to taking less damage because you blink around faster. I've only found adrenline useful for not have SoF and taking out structures. Since you are constantly attacking it'll take about 30 seconds to get a low adrenline bar. If some punk marine comes around the corner with a shotty you are in trouble. Adrenline counters this nicely.
Point is that meta > adrenline. Meta + adrenline is overkill.
Ive played both Adren and Celerity Fades quite a bit. Honestly, both are good!
Celerity is good when you think you're going to be mostly anti-marine. The speed is invaluable.
Adrenaline is good when you think you're going to be mostly killing buildings. The way I play a Fade is blinking past Marine chokepoints, and constantly destroying RTs. When all their RTs are destroyed, I start taking out chokepoints. Since im mostly hacking away at buildings, Adrenaline is my upgrade of choice usually in Classic.
In Combat, I usually get both (along with Silence, Regen, Cara, and Meta), but Celerity comes first since im fighting marines.
Beta has screwed things all over the place and since there are too strong abilities these days, onoses can be taken down by a single soldier with pistol if hes lucky.
Its obvious that due to the unbalanced power of certain abilities, that Fades are the best class. <b>They need to reduce blink speed drasticly!!!!!!</b>
Tbh if they have celerity then that should make it dam hard to hit them, you have enough of a chance when they land next to you for a swipe, 2 shottys and bb fade. Adren fades move slow enough for you to track them. Beleive me there are people out there who find aiming at fades no problem. One thing aliens do lack however is something to get close to marines in a confined space, eg that corridor outside of AE35. Fades cannot touch them due to the small space and single appraoch. Id say fades are fine, but do bare in mind the amount of skill you need to use them effectively. In short go to co and practice your aim till you can pick off skulks with the shotty like nothing. Btw your problem may be that you dont know how to aim the shotgun, the pellets atually go above and to the left of the crosshair, useing the crosshair will ensure your shots miss.
