Would like to know what BUS finally is
And, so nobody beats me to the punch:
omg teh nexus wut is it?
As for Nz-Nexus, <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showuser=47382' target='_blank'>he</a> has been seen posting around the forums recently.
<!--QuoteBegin-"Me"+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> ("Me")</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> The BUS is the Battle Universe Schematic. It is the plans for an NS online game where one game effects all other games.
E.G. A marine team on TheVille3 wins on ns_tanith. This then causes the marine team on Voogru to start with full upgrades while the aliens start with Onos and Fades as basic lifeforms (replacing skulks). This then creates more alien lifeforms that can swim and marines get a flipper upgrade. The aliens win. This causes the marine team on the CTS server to instantly recieve 200 res because of the RFK of the nuke that happens when marines lose. Then the marines win. SOooo, on the TV3 server onos are now the builder unit while gorges start devouring people. biggrin-fix.gif
Then again it could simply be the short bus that Flayra rode when he created NS. wink-fix.gif<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Or, it could be a new phasegate technology which allows us to teleport to moons where they have space kitties and a huge Bazaar.
I demand further updates, or I shall stop playing NS*!

Edit: OH NOES!112 TEH BUS R GONAR HIT MEEE!!@@!3241
Hmm, I wonder if advertising companies will buy into subliminal messages targeted at NS players. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

OHNOES!!!
ITS A....
Snickers! BUY ONE NOW OR ELSE CLOAKERS WILL GET YOU!! <span style='font-size:5pt;line-height:100%'>eject the comm! he wont drop skittles!</span>
1.) A means of connection; a link or tie: “this nexus between New York's... real-estate investors and its... politicians” (Wall Street Journal).
2. A connected series or group.
3. The core or center: “The real nexus of the money culture [was] Wall Street” (Bill Barol).
Assuming the name was chosen for some reason other than its cool sound, that's a pretty huge hint about its function.</li></ul>
My guess is that it's a sort of hub for activity relating to all UWE games. Possible features would include a chat lobby, globalized stats/rankings(based on existing UWE accounts), clan functionality, PUG/scrim arrangement tools, etc. It would be a separate program that launches NS directly, but can keep track of your info based on SteamID regardless of whether or not you use it(although I don't know how much of Steam's default interface can be bypassed). Maybe I'm way off, but it makes sense to me.
Ya, I always hope the NS devs will make changes better then the ones that made the game awesome again.

I seem to remember someone saying that the BUS wasn't going to be a stats system... so I'm really wondering over here...
Yes thats right kids, UNW is scrapping STEAM with its own new system, STEAM BUS!
even more garenteed to **** you the **** off!
ZOMGOLY STEAM BUS, hes just blatently comfirmed it!
Speculation FTW! <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->so after a lot of waiting, they tell us the BUS is Nexus. Omg are we enlightened now or something? Why did they only tell the name?

It's a pretty big pile of RL, honestly. Originally, we had intended for a closer following of a basic summary (and even that summary will be necessarily somewhat longer), but Zunni got sidetracked when they started a strike at his RL workplace. Since we didn't want you to go without updates, we decided to release this info, which's main points really are the generic scope of 3.1, and the update on the Source port, first.
gham, I appreciate your feedback in the Competitive forum, but in here, you're simply trolling. If you feel we made mistakes, fine, but sitting down and screaming "You suck!" doesn't really become people over the age of twelve <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<i>Mega Big Announced Unknown System Named Nexus</i>
I have come to the conclusion that this sort sounds like M BISON... and the nexus was a borg thing.... As such I have worked out the "BUS"
