<div class="IPBDescription">...And I come with questions.</div> Let me introduce myself to start off.
My ingame handle is "Lois_Must_Die." You may know me better from The Specialists' forums, toilling over the Mapping Forums.
To be honest, I wouldn't consider myself a "Newbie" at Natural Selection. I've been addicted to it for almost 9 months, along with the sad habit of lurking around these forums without posting anything.
With the impending release of NS 3.0, I decided that I may as well get it over with and ask the questions. One, so I can have the answers, and Two, so I can say "Yeah, I got here <i>before</i> all those 3.0 nublets." <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
1. I've heard that NS uses a different (or at least modified) rendering system than mosts mods do. Specifics on how and why?
2. How do the Constie icons and such work? I assume that coded into the game is some command that tells the game to hook up to Unknown World's servers and get the icon information. How does that work? (Like, what if the server's address changed, or something along those lines)
3. Here's my *TABOO* question, I guess, as everything generally looks better in three's and I have forgotten the other ones. Is the rotating door back in B6-- err, 3.0 Final -- Bast, as I know that the MS --> Main Aft route is back (where the rotating door stood) but I don't know of the fate of the beloved door.
Yes, I know I should have used the serach function, but then I wouldn't be able to introduce myself so personally. <!--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 guess I'll go post something somewhat meaningful now.
...Or just stand on the sidelines and watch everything happen in front of me, like it used to be. Heh.

1. NS doesn't support software mode, thats all I know.
2. Servers get the auth information from a database. They update every few hours afaik.
3. No it's not back. Theres a hallway from MS to Main Aft.
