    That manual is sweet.  Very high quality.  Almost looks blizzard grade.  man oh man.... if NS is even a fraction as good as the trailer and the manual the world is in for a treat.

    Something I noticed: Anytime it mentions the marine HUD it goes to Alien Hivesight.

    "Huh?"
    :-)
  • DingerDinger Join Date: 2002-10-29 Member: 1709Members
    Yeah, I had that problem with the HUD link. Oh well, doesn't bother me that much. The manual has made me very happy otherwise!!
  • CatpokerCatpoker Join Date: 2002-06-25 Member: 816Members
    also the marines waypoints hyperlink goes to aliens
    oh well

    GREAT JOB VERY NICE LOOKING

    Quote: from NS manual

    Note: while upgrading to an advanced armory, the armory will not be able to dispense ammo to marines




    Can you have a normal armory on the side for ammo?
  • JopsJops Join Date: 2002-09-13 Member: 1312Members
    I was reading siege turrents, do they automatically attack a hive or do you have to manually fire?

    In reference to how the  <!--emo&::onos::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::onos::'><!--endemo-->  got its name...

    Me thinks something more along the lines of "Oh ****" would be more alot more accurate.  But I guess its a family game...  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I dunno, if I saw these huge things tearing apart my base I might just say, "Oh    no." in a resigned voice.

    They attack automatically after being built.

    Beautiful, simply beautiful! Fam, I love the look, it's... it's so damn good! Jeff, awsome writing my friend. Awe inspiring. Can't wait to experience this stuff first hand.

    This is a beautiful piece of work, it's a helluva lot better than a lot of retail game's manuals (*cough*UT2003*cough*). The tech tree is simply superb for a quick reference to when you want to know something.

    I love the research-icial approach to the alien side of things too, very nifty.

    Another mistake I saw was that the link to "waypoints" in the Commander category...somewhere, didn't work.

    Off-topic:  Wasn't there supposed to be some big surprise on the day of the release or something?  Whatever happened to that? <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, I shall try and correct these ASAP, and try and fix any problems. It was most definately hard work getting this done in time, and I would like to thank everyone who helped for their support. And I would like to thank Monse, for screaming at me to finish it for the entire of the last week.

    Aww, shucks. I only design as a hobby, whereas Blizzard has industry professionals. Thankyou forthe comparison, it makes me all fuzzy and warm inside. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    On the contrary, the web designer of the  <a href="http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp" target="_blank">Arreat Summit</a> diablo2 site over at blizzard used to be a fansite webmaster too. His design skills caught blizzards eye and they wisk him off to their offices to design official sites for em.

    u'll never know where ur hobby might land u one day.

    Is 'The Kharaa' a new name for the aliens or have I just not noticed it before?

    Another mistake is that I can't see the Marine HUD.. it goes to Alien Hive Sight or something..
  • Nemesis_ZeroNemesis_Zero Old European Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 75Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Constellation
    Yes, 'Kharaa' is now their official name.
    Let's hope we won't attract a huge Mongolian following, or it'll get pretty ridiculous.

    Oh, BTW: <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"><!--QuoteEBegin-->You wouldn't know it to look at us, but after the archive collapse we were hurting, especially Nem.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
