<div class="IPBDescription">I may be late, but its the truth</div> I think the old shared resources for aliens was much much better and more strategy/skill oriented rather the new personal resources. It emphasized 1 skilled gorge and a team of skilled killers to protect you, it took good judgement on when to morph to something big, it affected the whole team.
I think now its too easy to be gorge, build things, and basically play as aliens. I think over the course of the new upgrades the game made a move to be more noob friendly; and in that move garner a larger community. However, that was done at the cost of more skill based play.
(so how long ago was this done anyway?)

And I agree.
Good point, but at <i>least</i> contribute to the thread. (other than trying to smack the thread starter for word usage <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
Personally I wouldn't mind removing RFK altogether. It's my #1 suggestion to remove it from marines & gorges, at least in ns_ maps. Rambo and marine turtles weren't intended either.
about the res system,
too many noobs would ruin everything in pubs if res wasnt personal.
Once you have 100 res, all res that you get (from rt's and rfk) goes to the rest of the team.
pubs = even worse, if this happens. I mean pub all the time and it's okay. (Unless Noob fade or a res **** comes along). But team resources would shoot the aliens in the foot before the game began.
Other way around. People would <i>only</i> rambo if RTs contributed very little or none to the res.

in other words... you have no idea what he just said
"if res wasnt personal..." meaning if RTs were the big contributors for res, rather than kills
And personally, I disagree. This makes the aliens that much different from the marines- very individualistic, very stylistic at the same time though. What I've noticed, is instead of the forced teamwork of before, now for aliens its more of a alien swarm, for real.

Negative, all additional rfk is lost once you hit 100 res. Resources from rts are redistributed however.
And I agree that with the recent influx of new players, having a shared resource pool for aliens would spell death more often than not for any pub. One player would go gorge, think he had like 300 res, and procede to put up 300 res worth of ocs. Either that or one player would onos, die, onos, die, etc. Not a good system <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> . It's different with the marines because the commander is in charge of all the res, and you know exactly who to blame if res is wasted, and you can stop him if necessary by ejecting. You can't stop someone from building structures or going lerk, fade, or onos, so res can be easily wasted.

Personally, I do think RFK promotes ramboing. Since when has any traditional RTS implemented anything like RFK? Warcraft3 doesn't count because it sucks.
We need to make resources towers THE most important stuff in the game, next to the hives and the comm chair and IPs. Boost up the res that the res towers give, and then remove RFK from both sides. Now, it's more strategy (how much should I expand? will I able to keep tose nodes? Should I spend resources attacking that area? will I waste more resources attacking it than I'm costing the enemy?) because simply having a great killer on your team isn't going to help research any faster or getting that fade any faster.

Oh stop lying Pjofsky, and get your hand off of my breast.

Player1: "No, im onosing!"
Player2: "No, we need another hive j00 st|_|p1d n00b"

Dude those last couple of posts you made... What the hell are you talking about? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Man I don't know what it is you are smoking but I want some.
I don't think anyone is a closet AOl'er. Heck many of I know use IRC and Firefox not AOL-of-teh-hax-made-easy software. (but then Kazaa suprased AOL in security laxness by making legal hackware, if a person has Kazaa installed and is online you can hack their computer at will; aka parasitic computing)
Anyways we're totally off topic now.
We're on the internet, folks. Around here, gender is optional, so don't make a fuss in perfectly good threads about it.
