<div class="IPBDescription">Level5 and stuff</div>What makes level5 greater compared to other levels?
It can not climb walls,it's too big to fit some places it can not blink or build.Can it shoot?
It's probably tough but is that all??

And can you transform from level5 to level3 or level4 to level2??

Probably the fact that it's really REALLY tough to kill?

No one is really sure of the ability list of the level 5 yet. Playtesters haven't even been able to touch it.

The lvl 5 seems to be a living tank pretty much...IT should have some sort of battery ram manuver, probobly alot of armor as well...perhaps a shockwave like ability to stun people? i dunno.... <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Hmmm I wonder.... What would the damage be on a lvl 5 from say, a siege cannon? I'm just wondering cause the siege cannon seems to be one of the backbone defences for the marnes, and they'll have to rely on them somewhat if they get a lvl 5 barreling down the hallways. Anyone know?

I read somewhere that when an alien dies, it respawns as a bob... If that's true, thereotically, if you had enough points to transform into level 5, you'd have enough to transform into other classes upon respawn... but since 5s are hard to kill, good luck changing!

Keep in mind, this is all thereotical

so far, from what i can sum up
the lvl 5 seems like some big thing that is used to draw fire while the rest of them own...bah, i want a ability list please <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

you can go from lvl1 to lvl5 in evolution, and you can downgrade at anytime, the lvl5 is basically a tank, it can charge you, and tear your corpse limb by limb, shot a spine attack, boost alien moral, and it has UBER-HP. So don't think there is nothing bad about it.

Moleculor · May 2002

No one knows the damage a siege will do. Yet.

And the upgrade/downgrade to anything is SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Especially the downgrade thing! That could be removed entirely. Or it could stay in as it is. Dunno.

i really prefur a level 4 or 1 or 3 <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Slycaster · May 2002

i sure hope the downgrade thing isn't removed, i want to be able to shift down to a bob after 3 hives just got up so i can devine wind some n00b marine. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Once you use your RPs, they're gone. When you become a level 5, its going to be very late game. Also, its going to mean that the aliens already have an advantage. In a way, the level 5 is sort of like the clean up. Once the marines are beaten back, the level 5 comes in and takes out defenses and any remaining marines. Also, it's supposed to have some kind of primal yell that will energize other nearby aliens, besically to get them all pumped up and to clear out the marines more quickly so the next game can start. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

And Cyanide, spell it right, okay? It's dIvine. Divine with an "i". <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I think I'll either strive to be a flyer or blinky

Korpisoturi · May 2002

But what if a marine is on a box can "tiny" kill it??
or does it need fire support?
Excuse me cyanide but what is shot a spine attack? ? ?
Do you mean shoot a spine attack??

And if marines can repair commanders terminal can aliens
(level2) build new hives?

And thanks for your answers everyone!!
And i know any of this is not official until playtests are over.
And thanks again!!

It would be great if tiny could kill people by just running over them <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> . That would be annoying if FF is on thought.

*Sprouch*
Tiny: Oooops, one less bob. O well.
*Sprouch*
Tiny: I hope this guy won't be mad at me if I just stepped on his blinky....
*Sprouch*
Tiny: Damn, that was our last hive....
