Any plan to implement any others, just as NS2?

<div class="IPBDescription">structures, lifeforms, weapons...</div>
This is the thing which i'm always curious about.


Comparing to original Natural Selection, and according to NS2 wiki page, there are for now no more lifeforms to be implemented, but meanwhile Shift tech, and Exosuit with Minigun will be implemented.


So my question is, do you have then no plan to implement brand-new lifeforms/weapons/structures??

I think i've once heard about Lightsaber, but dunno if it was just rumor or not.



I'm sure there will be self-weapon upgrade system, as we can assume through the function of armory and some mentioning about customization, but, i really wanna brand-new weapons, lifeforms, and structures for both sides.


I'm just curious just if you UWE devs are still contemplating about adding more those new stuffs or not. Not meaning any of upgrades, any of customization, but brand-new stuffs..

    Heh, that light saber was suggested by a community member and yeah... Does not really fit into the NS universe concerning marine weaponry.

    I seriously doubt any new lifeforms will be added.

    But don't dispair! I fully expect most of the existing lifeforms to gain new abilities to combat the ever growing marine menace (with exos/railgus/etc). And as always, as new elements are added, balancing will take place to make the game fair and fun.

    Nuke for Frontiersmen after v1.0 :D

    Maybe Alien Commander can turn his Hive into a giant Gorge and crawl around the map, you know like the Command and Conquer series mobile bases...

    From ns1, it seems the general plan is more to change things instead of adding things.

    I remember back in the ns1 days everyone seemed to want an aquatic khaara lifeform even though there was barely any maps with water in them.

    Hmm...

    I wonder if there are going to be water features on future maps?

    ^- IMO, would be so cool if you can support your team while waiting for respawn, by controlling a Babbler similar to a Phantasm (if still planned as such).

    If I were that marine, I'd be ###### my pants rather than looking casual. That is totally Alien facehugger-esque.
