  Can I ask that you use this 'weapon list' instead of the original one? There's little to no difference between HMG and LMG, and a pistol has nothing in common with any other weapon.
  
  - Knife/Welder
  - Pistol
  - LMG/HMG
  - Shotgun
  - Grenade Launcher
  
  
  Also, why isn't there a list for the alien classes?

  I think that if NS had a character sheet, the sheets would look more like a Black Isle/Fallout Sheet (With percentages - If you've played Fallout, you know what I'm talking about) So I would say that the sheets would look more like this:
  
  General NS skill (start 45% to all skills, add or remove percentage points from either)
  - Alien (80%)
  - Marine (50%)
  - Comm (0%)
  - All time gorge (50%)
  
  Marine weapon skill (start 40% to all skills, add/remove):
  - knife/welder (0%)
  - small guns (pistol, LMG, shotgun) 60%
  - big guns (GL, HMG) 60%
  
  
  Marine general skill (start 40% to all skills):
  - Sneaking/Scouting (20%)
  - Attacking (40%)
  - Covering and coordinating ( 0%)
  - Building/Guarding Resnodes/Outposts (60%)
  
  Marine Gamestart strat skill (40% base to all):
  - Building IP armory and obs to shootgun rush the hive/resnodes (offensive) (0%)
  - Building IP and TF in rine base to secure many resnodes/hives asap (30%) (expansive)
  - Building IP and armory and a TF near the next resnode to build an outpost/relocate there (defensive) (90%)
  
  One Hive alien skills: (base is alien skill)
  - Skulk - Bite (100%)
  - Gorge - Spit (40%)
  - Fade - Slash (100%)
  Two Hive alien skills: (base is alien skill)
  - Onos - Stomp (100%)
  - Gorge - Bile Bomb (100%)
  - Skulk - Leap (40%)
  
  
  Weak spots as alien:
  - firstchamber (Cannot Go Onos Without Defense Chamber)
  - missing 3rd chamber (No suicide bombs for skulk)
  - alienclass (Weak As Fade Without 3 Hives)
  
  
  Perks for Alien:
  
  Tactics (This gives a bonus to your layout, building and combat skills. +15% to layout, building and combat)
  Loner (You lose 10% of your combat skill when there are other people around. But when you are alone, you gain 20% to your combat skill)
  
  Perks for Marine:
  
  Perception/Scouting (You gain 15% to perception and scouting. You know all the possible places an alien could hide).
  Builder (You have knowledge of placement and res node locations. You gain 15% to your map knowledge and tactical skills).

  I'd be the guy who is running around slaying rats until he reaches perfect in every stat. I'm not there yet, mind you.

  Hmm, i'm gonna simplify mine a bit. I worked it out as 30 points to distribute.
  
  30 - Skulk
  0 - Everything else.
