I found this in the titles.txt file, what's a cocoon? Is it from an earlier version of ns?

Whoa, I don't remember ever seeing that. Maybe something to do with webs?

You found that, too? Browsing through the titles.txt, I noticed the same thing. Along with the "Nuke," which looks/looked interesting.

yeah Nuke is an old Marine weapon from the early version... got removed for balance issues <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

but the cocoon sure is an interesting find.

As with life support armor and various other things stuck in there. I think they do it just to confuse us. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

My favorite is Flamethrower.

Never heard of the cocoon, but the nuke sounded damn cool, unfortunatly, it was impossible to balance.

Id guess it was maybe something similar to the Devour ability, maybe for the Gorge instead.
Sounds like it was all stuff they have at one time or another thought about implementing into the game, thankfully some stuff didnt make it (Nuke, Flamethrower).
