<div class="IPBDescription">Yes we have opinions too!</div> I get kinda tired of the old vets always gettin their way wit things, but hey we cant do anything still. I want all of my fellow newbies to talk about suggestions they may have about the game. My list of suggestions is below if you like to read:

1) Alien Infection virus: aliens are able to infect marines, then later able to control them as their own little suicide bomber. I thought it might be cool,heh.

Please all newbies post your opinions and ideas! We might make a difference! <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This idea has been discussed before, and is stated in the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=739' target='_blank'>Ideas FAQ</a> that this type of option will never be used.

    There is also a <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=SF&f=5' target='_blank'>whole forum</a> for this sort of thing.

    I liike your spirit Scorpion, but you are going about this the wrong way. As someone earlier mentioned, the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=SF&f=5' target='_blank'>Ideas and Suggestions Forum</a> is dedicated to ideas for the game. Though it is not in heavy use at the moment, there have been ideas in the forum that have been put to use. Before you post be sure to check the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=739' target='_blank'>Ideas and Suggestions FAQ</a>, also mentioned before.

    You may have some good input, as do others, but your best hope to getting any recognition of those ideas is to publish them through the right channels. Good luck.

    BTW: Yes I am restating what everyone else said, but this is meant to be a friendly and informative post, not a "Shoot 'em down till they stop moving" kind of post. If it seems that my post is that way, sorry.

    yes, and the other reason that experienced players might get more notice taken of them than newbies is because they know the game better. They have played it longer and cannot help but know a little bit more about what's going on than the first timer.

    I dont care if a good idea comes from a long term player with 3000 posts of a first time newbie, if its a good idea -and I am sure Flayra and Max feel the same way. It's just that newbies dont often come up with well thought out ideas.

    Pop over to the S&I forum and have a good read, then play 3.0 a few thousand times I'm sure after that you'll read your idea and wince

    oh, and Happy Christmas <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think "testament" is the kind of player that Scorpian is talking about...
    What the hell kind of post was that Testament... Theres to many people like you around, that wont ever give explinations for there opinions, and without that nobody learns a thing. This is what happens day in day out in NS games. You get given an order, or two or three, and you ask WHY? You get no explination from any of the 10 players on your side, so you set off to do something, and it doesnt go as the comm planed, and suddenly you a big "noob" coz you did it wrong! If you explain WHY you want something done it helps a great deal if your a bit new, because you can do it proberly when you have an understanding at what your being told to do.
    To namy show offs in games, and in life in general because as in life, its not "cool" to be seen as helpful or friendly
    Merry Christmas

    To be honest, if someone gives you an order in game, you do it. Your role as a marine is not to question your commander, it's to follow blindly. If you know whatever he/she has ordered you to do is a bad idea, maybe you can dispute it, but 99% of the time, a commander doesn't have time to explain your orders.

    Look, I don't mean to be harsh, but do you understand how silly it is for someone completely new to a game to want to make changes to it? You said yourself that you just got here; you're not really in a position to see what needs to be added or made better about the game. That's not elitism, that's just the way things are. Besides, there's a whole forum for this sort of thing.
