Has it ever occured to anyone that NS is kinda related to S&I?  I mean, its the same basic thing, except the scientists are now the commander.

    Yeeeesh. No. NS is not like S&I. Maybe in very -very- tiny ways, but nothing major.

    That's like saying sound is light because they both come in waves.

    Yes, we need to steal the enemy gorges to do research for us... <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    Well, there is 'acquisition of resources' and 'research'...  but that's about it on similarities.

    Science and Industry is similar to Natural Selection in the fact you research or in this case evolve. You guys are just being ##### <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Only thing I can think of that they have in common are resources, wich in S&I is in the form of dollars. I don't really think you're researching. It's rather "If you have this you can build that" in NS.
    The upgrade thing I think functions like Star Craft. That engineering bay or what it's called. Looks like a 4legged spider.

    teh 4 legged spider is the resource colecter (vespen mining/crystal gathering all in one sorta)

    hmm, and also in S$I $$ is not recoruces it is only score
    suceces add to it (caping scis, equip, killing ppl, holding scis etc)
    and failures deduct (fewer scis = less $$ flow, if you die it costs you company $X to respawn you etc)

    also NS has the nice one of an actual win condition (no prt/hive and no living marines/aliens) something I alwats sotrta disliked about S&I (though I still love the game)

    were in startcraft did you get to be a marine in fps... i played sc for 4 years and i missed that one. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->.

    NS is the most orginal mod i have ever seen for any game. no longer any dumb ai pathing for your units now they actauly move randomly beacuse they are people playing : ).

    Ben, just because it's no longer the most current thread in the announcements forum doesn't mean that it's now okay to flame people.

    actauly i dont blame him for the flame. its realy innoying to hear that " ns is like si beacuse you reserch" its just something thats stupid as hell to even say. in almost every stratigy game you reserch are you going to say that they all rip offs of the verry first game you can reserch stuff?

    its almost like saying play station is like nentendo beacuse they bolth play games.

    it would be ok if they can say hey, this game is like starcraft with a fps twist and i can see were theres some resemblence to eachother but bolth have completely diffrent concepts still. its almost like all the realisim mods that are being called "orginal" beacuse they are barely diffrent from eachother. someone tell me what other game has stratigy with units that are controled by other players who are in first person view? i would realy like to know.

    if someone came up with a good arguement to actualy disscuss logicly then i would complain about flames. but this topic about S&I is like NS is realy a dumb arguement sence they have nothing in common but reserching two diffrent ways. i have nothing aginst S&I i beleave it is a well put together mod, but the concepts between the two are completely diffrent and are in no way the same gameplay or game style.

    I'm not saying it isn't annoying OR stupid to say, I'm saying that according to Flayra it's <b>against board policy to flame others</b>.
