<!--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--><b>Gameplay changes</b>
O Aliens have innate regeneration at a rate of 2% per second, this regeneration will always heal at least 1 point of health or armour and stacks with DC or hive healing, but doesn't 'stack' with Regeneration.
O Alien upgrades cost 0 resources.
O Gestating to skulk costs 0 resources.
O Sieges no longer damage players.
O Siege now does 330 Damage.
O Turrets now prioritise players over structures.
O Offense Chambers now priorities players over structures.
O Parasite now takes precedence over Scent of Fear image (allows players to see that their Parasite hit when using SOF to help teammates track enemies).
O Bile Bomb's range has been increased by 15%.
O Cat-pack cost has been reduced from 4 to 3.
O Marines near Sensory chambers show up as if detected by Scent of Fear.
O Acid rocket now does double damage to armour.
o Fades can blink off ladders. <i> (Pre2)</i>
o Recycling observatories won't uncloak aliens.<i> (Pre2)</i>
o Increased visibility for aliens moving at greater than normal moving speed (bunnyhopping, gliding, etc.).<i> (Pre2)</i>
O Changed Scan cost from 25 to 20 energy units.<i> (Pre3)</i>
O Changed default combat game time to 15 minutes.<i> (Pre3)</i>
O Combat scan deploy time halved to 0.25<i> (Pre4)</i>
O Alien flashlight tweaks: Marines in the alien's field of view are now lit up just like friendly structures and players.<i> (Pre4)</i>
O Knockback reduced to 1/3 for ducking players on the ground.<i> (Pre4)</i>
O Added a cooldown for cloak. You have to wait 3 seconds after uncloaking before you begin to cloak again.<i> (Pre5)</i>
O Limits how fast a player can re-join a team from readyroom. 3 seconds must pass before re-joining the game.<i> (Pre5)</i>
<b>Game mechanics</b>
O Hitbox code has been much improved, so shooting through the legs of an Onos will miss, while shots on edges of models will now hit.
O Players using Cloaking upgrade will no longer be fully visible at any time unless attacking or being attacked.
O Players moving faster than walking pace will gradually become more visible the faster they move, but only to a max visibility of 30%.
O Turrets will not fire at aliens with less than 10% visibility.
O Clicking on an enemy structure (visible, non-visible and cloaked) gives a 'move to' waypoint.
O Shotgun range begins to fall off at 500 units, and is then reduced by 1% for every 2 further units, resulting in 0 damage after 700 units, to stop shotgun sniping.
O If you are within 600 units of marine start, you will not be transported in by Distress Beacon.
O Group waypoints will now act like personal waypoints for each player (so when you reach the waypoint, it disappears for you, while remaining for all other players).
O Alien respawn time reduced for teams larger than 6. As the number of hives increase, this time is increased, so at 3 hives there is no difference from respawn rate at 6 players.
O Combat wavespawn now takes a 5 seconds plus 2 seconds for every dead player, up to a maximum of 13 seconds.
O Added 'notready' command to reverse ready status in tournament mode.
O Fixed exploit where structures could be dropped near marines in water to avoid building restrictions.
O Equipment, med-packs, ammo-packs, etc. can again be dropped directly on players.
O Knife knockback has been removed.
O Players no longer join a team in the 'dead' state.
O Phasegate bug that allowed for the fast transportation of numerous marines has been fixed.
O Changed player min build distance from 20 to 30.
O Pancake prevention code. Flapping no longer adds lift after speed exceeds about 900 ( or 1000 with celerity ). This seems to work well, forward movement is as normal, and diving is as normal.
o Mines now damage normally when the player leaves the team.<i> (Pre2)</i>
o More tweaks to pancake capping.<i> (Pre2)</i>
o Fixed cloaking bugs (lerks no longer cloak when gliding quickly, etc.).<i> (Pre2)</i>
o Players only beacon in if they are more than 600 units away from all spawn points.<i> (Pre2)</i>
o Reverted to beta5 hitboxes to get a lead on the hitbox issues.<i> (Pre2)</i>
O Changed structure build restriction radius from 60 to 30 units (Means that you can now drop multiple structures within viewing range of each other.)<i> (Pre3)</i>
O Changed player build restriction radius from 25 to 16.50 units (Should reduce the amount of marines-standing-in-the-way to the bare minimum, makes medpack- and ammodropping easier.)<i> (Pre3)</i>
O Scan exploit fix improved.<i> (Pre3)</i>
O Fixed a bug where a hive could not be dropped over a chamber.<i> (Pre3)</i>
O Team join sounds now only play for the team joined.<i> (Pre3)</i>
O Fixed bug where resupply wasn't effective for HMG or pistol. A resupplied weapon will never reload to less than a full clip.<i> (Pre3)</i>
O Combat scan is now triggered by partially cloaked aliens. Note: Scan 'fires' every 3 seconds, so there is a window in which a fast alien can still close the distance. <i> (Pre4)</i>
O Hive drop check fix redux.<i> (Pre4)</i>
O Changed the health bar around structures to more acurately reflect its health. Full bar is now exactly 100% health, empty bar is 0%.<i> (Pre4)</i>
O Reset room_type to 0 after being digested to avoid sound issue.<i> (Pre4)</i>
O Fixed small bug from last revision where recycling wouldn't show on the health bar.<i> (Pre4)</i>

O Reverted structure nobuild radii to 60.<i> (Pre6)</i>
O Allows the placement of items and weapons within RT nobuild radius.<i> (Pre6)</i>

Great job on that list though! I'm sure the cheapskates here will enjoy the read <!--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-->
I'm mostly looking forward to the map changes. I had no idea that Eccy and Veil were being changed - nor many of the other maps. 2 new combat maps eyy?
To sum up, I'm excited, but once again I will have to look at shipping costs for my server cube (to France this time) so that I can play this version!

[Edit] I don't think I'm a cheapskate for not wishing to pay for something when I had no information about whether a port was on the cards, that added to the fact that (as mentioned above) I can't actually play the game right now because I have no PC.

Correct.
They are hoping to include the "new" hitbox code for 3.1, though.

<b>Gameplay changes</b>
O Aliens have innate regeneration at a rate of 2% per second, this regeneration will always heal at least 1 point
of health or armour and stacks with DC or hive healing, but doesn't 'stack' with Regeneration.
O Alien upgrades cost 0 resources.
O Gestating to skulk costs 0 resources.
O Sieges no longer damage players.
O Siege now does 330 Damage.
O Turrets now prioritise players over structures.
O Offense Chambers now priorities players over structures.
O Parasite now takes precedence over Scent of Fear image (allows players to see that their Parasite hit when using
SOF to help teammates track enemies).
O Bile Bomb's range has been increased by 15%.
O Cat-pack cost has been reduced from 4 to 3.
O Marines near Sensory chambers show up as if detected by Scent of Fear.
O Acid rocket now does double damage to armour.
<b>Game mechanics</b>
O Hitbox code has been much improved, so shooting through the legs of an Onos will miss, while shots on edges of
models will now hit.
O Players using Cloaking upgrade will no longer be fully visible at any time unless attacking or being attacked.
O Players moving faster than walking pace will gradually become more visible the faster they move, but only to a
max visibility of 30%.
O Turrets will not fire at aliens with less than 10% visibility.
O Clicking on an enemy structure (visible, non-visible and cloaked) gives a 'move to' waypoint.
O Shotgun range begins to fall off at 500 units, and is then reduced by 1% for every 2 further units, resulting in
0 damage after 700 units, to stop shotgun sniping.
O If you are within 600 units of marine start, you will not be transported in by Distress Beacon.
O Group waypoints will now act like personal waypoints for each player (so when you reach the waypoint, it
disappears for you, while remaining for all other players).
O Alien respawn time reduced for teams larger than 6. As the number of hives increase, this time is increased, so
at 3 hives there is no difference from respawn rate at 6 players.
O Combat wavespawn now takes a 5 seconds plus 2 seconds for every dead player, up to a maximum of 13 seconds.
O Added 'notready' command to reverse ready status in tournament mode.
O Fixed exploit where structures could be dropped near marines in water to avoid building restrictions.
O Equipment, med-packs, ammo-packs, etc. can again be dropped directly on players.
O Knife knockback has been removed.
O Players no longer join a team in the 'dead' state.
O Phasegate bug that allowed for the fast transportation of numerous marines has been fixed.
O Changed player min build distance from 20 to 30.
O Pancake prevention code. Flapping no longer adds lift after speed exceeds about 900 ( or 1000 with celerity ).
This seems to work well, forward movement is as normal, and diving is as normal.
<b>Cosmetic changes:</b>
O Added Heavy Armour falling sound.
O Gave each Alien a unique landing sound.
O Updated Jetpack sound.
O Updated LMG clip out and clip in sounds.
O Updated Pistol reload sounds.

O Updated welder idle sound to be more obvious when not welding anything.
O Replaced raindrop sprites.
O Added a "player joined team" messages to HUD.
O Updated cat-pack commander menu icons to provide a consistent interface.
O Friendly parasited players no longer show up in hive sight, and are no longer notified that they are parasited
(Parasite still does FF damage though).
O Added a separate sprite for parasited enemy structures (placeholder graphics).
O Hive locations always appears on Hive Sight.
O Unbuilt hives use a different sprite for easy detection.
O Commander Station always shows as closed in combat maps.
O Changed Hivesight sprites to be better discernable for colour-blind players (Thanks Jazz!).

It is extremely appreciated. How is the latest version playing? Any one care to share, or is that top secret information?
now will the aliens stay cloaked when they get the cloaking upgrade all the time even if they are running? Or will they stay cloaked while running just be more visible?

How I understand it, with the cloak upgrade they will be cloaked 30% at the most while running full speed. You become less cloaked the faster and longer you run. You will be fully uncloaked when shot or attacking.
