yeah.... true.... skulks... but... when hl2 comes out i do so pray they go hey! lets make it a hl2 mod!*if they havent already* since hl2, will allow them todo alot more things. such as adding new alien lifeforms, marine weapons/buildings. and have even more orgasmic map designs. since right now.... if i do so remember right... have been hitting many limitations, specialy in the mapping area. oh god.. can you picture Natural Selection on the source engine?
There is stuff in here for a new gameplay for NS....like the co_ maps I like the kharaa queen concept, it could act as a hive replacement on bigger maps and help aliens to gain more strategic advantages... the hive could walk and help attack and stuff, would be really cool <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> (i really like the queen made by dounnos <!--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--> ) Also i have seen some alien designs that look better then the current ones, the developers really should use imput from here (not the sheet alien though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

I have an onos model to show off. I put alot of hard work into the design of the body, because it was much larger than teh onos model that is used now. It will be better, because there is an extremely thick layer of fat on the animal that acts as an extra carapace. It has some annoying sounds that come with it, but I assure u, it will scare any marine away guaranteed. Marines that are brave enough to fight this mighty beast will be devoured very quickly, because this animal will eat anything it can get a hold of as quickly as possible.

Wow That Crabby things rocks...... Wish i could draw that well, i seriuosly need practice. I reckon that'd be good as a alternative spawn point, so it would sort of go near the base where no marines would find it, and skulks could spawn off it, causing hell loads of trouble
We start off with the second skulk designed by CaCa, name it something else (as of now, ill call it the Wargh for help in the explanation). Here are its attributes -
<b>HP</b> - 5 <b>Armour</b> - 0 <b>Speed</b> - Fast <b>Jump</b> - Far <b>Sounds</b> - Very Quiet <b>Gestation Cost</b> - 95
The job of this creature is to go around looking for Marines, and when they find on, attack the Head hitbox and use Attack 1 - Assimilation.
It then gets control of the Marine for 1 minute before it dies. In this time, it must find a Gorge to use heal spray (or 4 DCs/ 1 DC + a Hive) on it in order for the Assimlation to complete. Once completed, the person who controls the Wargh the turns into the larger Alien, an infected human.
The player of the marine respawns as usual, but the Wargh is now a fearsom beast. Here are its attributes.
<b>HP</b> - 600 <b>Armour</b> - 500 <b>Speed</b> - Fast <b>Jump</b> - Fly (Same was as a Lerk) <b>Sound</b> - Quiet/Medium <b>Gestation cost</b> - 95 (from Wargh) and all the dangers of being a Wargh and the Assimilation procces
<b>Attack 1</b> - Slash (200 Damage) <b>Attack 2</b> - Consume (Eats a dead marine to regain health) <b>Attack 3</b> - Disguise (Looks like a normal Marine for 2 mins until shot or until it shoots) <b>Attack 4</b> - Unholy Explosion (Same as Skulk Xenocide but much larger area affect and more damage)
This may seem completly ridiculously good, but ive seen many people asking for a briliant alien. Ive compromised this by making it nearly impossible to attain (ie 5 hp of the Wargh, the dangers of Assimilation)

This isnt a alien design but its an idea ive got for abilitys for one to have. Mainly from all those ghost posts and that alien that can spew out holographic skulks.
Idea 1: Holographic skulk things, (not good with names). These can be fired out like the original bablers that gorges had in earlyer NS, They would have absolutly no effect on the marines other than to confuse them into thinking its a real skulk. Basically alians are playing mind games. Making them see things that arent really their. Redirecting their fire or helping a skulk attack an enemy by providing a few fake targets.
Idea 2: The ability to fase out of your body and explore around for about 10-15 seconds.
Idea 3: Mind Attacks - Mind Blast & somthing
Mind Blast - Blast of phychic energy propeled into a marine disorientating him.
Somthing - Like parasite exsept has a 15 second effect which blinds a marine from seeing this phychic alien. With little health and armor this would give it just enough time to askape. This runs out as soon as the alien tryes another attack or even use it on another alien causing it to loose consentration.
So basically, A phychic alien thats week in health and armore but very powerfull at mind attacks. Making marines see things and sending mind blasts into them disorientating or even killing them.
Mabe rather than pic you need to be thincking of what type of aline for exsample at start we had water alien so how about a defensive alien not like a gorge just able to plonk him slef down and hold a area dor a while (very slow moving) thinck of roles rather than aliens
As my first post, allow me to present this: a space-based kharaa I am tentativily calling the drakk. It fulfills a much needed role in the kharaa hierarchy: protecting space-borne hives as they travel between stars.
So it hovers without.. err.. I mean.. <!--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-->
Seriously though, that rocks. Fits in perfectly with the other aliens I think.
Oh and welcome to the forums! (I think thats the first time I've ever welcomed someone. I tend to just lurk all the time anyway.)
