<div class="IPBDescription">I know a pr blitz is on the way...</div>This post may be moot, but this mod has gotten me more excited than any other retail game I've played. Now that I've tipped my hat to the topic by JC, I'll state my post.
I've visited these forums every day for a long time, and I get new tidbits of knowledge each time, but when I try to share my wealth of knowledge to a friend, it seems I cannot find a reliable resource to share with them. The FAQ's and website's dedicated to NS show very little compared to what we forumites are blessed with. I know we are getting ready to witness a new NS.org and plenty of RR.org updates, but could we find a way to really compile all the useful information given in these forums so people can easily find what NS is all about? Monse, I'm not asking for a release date, and I think everything you do is great!! But any idea how long before we can expect rr.org to clearly display the true awesome force of this game, with details about classes, features, and screenshots of each marine/alien class/structure/weapon etc?
BTW, coil I loved the way you broke down the marine and alien technology. I used that as an email hinting to the gameplay of NS! <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

I'd really love a reply from a dev member on this (maybe even MonsE).

Damn I thought I never posted
Most people that where here back in January are now PT/Mods
In this post I posted a DOC file with everything coil said nicly formatted and so forth.
--Scythe--
P.S. And spellchecked. X-D
I think it just doesnt justify the work needed to type it that could be used to be mapping, modeling, coding or what not.
Perhaps a PT will take pitty on you and create one, but I dont think its going to happen, just because NS is very close to release it would be unjustified.
Scythe, thanks for the doc. I've actually done the same thing, adding in a few other interesting tidbits, however, I haven't posted it anywhere.
SilverFox, while I agree (as I said in my first post, this may be moot) that some may not heed this post because the release is so close (geez I've heard that alot since I've been here), newbie's to NS are not necessarily going to be hyped enough to download a manual. I'm asking MonsE when to expect this not as a wayto judgerelease date, or to get on his case, but because I know as a PR man, he sees the need and is probably hard at work on a resolution. We've already seen the proposed RTFM! wars that will progress at release, but when I am interested in a mod or game, I expected there to be a simple yet valuable resource for information, not a manual to download. What rr.org has is a beginning, but it is in serious need of updates. MonsE has updated screenshots, some FAQ and features data, but none in comparison with the wealth of knowledge of these boards.
Now I know that the forums will always have a richer source of info, partly because of the community effort to pry it out of Flayra, <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> but if someone, maybe one of you forumites with nothing to do, could combine as much as we know into one thread, and get it stickied, that would rock. Coil's thread is an example, let's expound on that with more!

And I think that a compilation of information would be really good idea too. If there were a sticky with stuff it would give people a chance to read and not suggest/state things that aren't feasable. <---- Can I spell? I don't know.
Actually, most of us joined far before january, back in the UBB days. Some of us, like freestyler, have been around since like last June. I myself have been around since last september. I miss UBB.
It's sad, I remember when Molec first posted: "or Bob!" <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bob.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::skulk::'><!--endemo-->
