I don't think thats much of a problem to be honest.
Simply make a hive and/or other alien structure (Shade...) block any teleportation to the room. You can further tweak it by allowing to phase into room with...say observatory regardles… -

You know this is pretty good idea. The only problem is that it isn't terribly consistent with all other armory purchases....Maybe turn it into a researchable upgrade in armory that will make you always spawn with welder once you pu… -
I think that evolution are not really the problem. Shade has 1 amazing evolution (Silence, which I consider the second best evolution in the game, after carapace), and one horrible one, same as Crag and both Shift evolutions, while not that …

Well no and yes.
"No" in the sense that he himself said several times that the ideas in the mod are considered as future balance tweaks, or that a certain feature WILL be added into main game in some form. So unless you… -

You can make cyst chain to two RTs in something like 10 seconds right now and drop the harvesters in another 2 if you put cyst next to RT. Assuming untweaked infestation spread, the same expansion would take close to a minute if yo… -
No.
Alien comm almost never covers the whole room in infestation. He just creates cyst chain to the point of interest (usually a res node) or through the room and leaves everything else be. Additionally, you don't need for infestation to… -

Eh, as much as I like majority of changes, almost all of them require a bit (or a lot) of fine-tuning before they can go anywhere near the official build. Particularly changes to onos and fade.
The only thing I w… -

So is movement. But we can apparently screw and experiment with it as we please, huh?

The problem is not that it is an alien nerf, the problem is that it is nerf through interface screw. The cyst have still the same health and still alert commander that they are attacked, it is simply far more cumbersome for alien c… -

You mean like armory? Because armory counts as "make people pay - directly or indirectly - to heal up to full health" about as much as welder does.

There will be ALWAYS a subset of players that dislike upcoming change and will bitch and moan until they get used to it. EVERY balance change is forced onto at least part of the player base. Thats not "cutting off your nose to spit… -

Link to relevant science articles? Or at least relevant wiki pages?
Lets turn this into glorious NS2 lore/current technology comparison thread. :-B -
I cruise through a lot of different servers and play with a lot of different people and I have yet to see one aim-botter. There were 2 cases where I was suspicious enough to first-person spectate said player for match or two, but in both of them the…

Nah, someone just has minor pet peeve about people thinking that ballistic weapons are primitive/easily replaced. :P

I like the simplicity of this.

Babblers automatically attack anything hit with gorge spit if it is in certain range.

Well, as a commander, ask yourself at the start of the match: Do I believe that the marines under my command are good enough to conquer, secure, hold and defend locations without the crutch of increased mobility from Phase Gates?

Babblers suck even for the meager expectation their low cost evokes. They would be completely underwhelming even if they were free. After all, Clogs are far more useful than Babblers and those are simply big dumb clumps of goo.

Well it is good then that the changes are not made in vacuum and that crag stations are being heavily nerfed, in the very same patch that introduces no armor healing from armories, right? Seriously, I posted basically the same thin…(Quote)
While I understand and totally agree with divorcing the Armour and Armor discussion from the general mod balance one, it has an unfortunate consequence of making it look like the change to Armory healing armor is made in vacuum whi…(Quote)
What is a point of having babblers as an independent remote controlled bots,when they are useless as remote controlled bots and are used only as upgrade to existing entities? Why not having clog shield to put on other aliens and up…Dunno. I think that the new drifters are supposed to be less of a "wallhack" (or lookout sentries, or what-have-you) unless you go with shade hive, and more of an active, expendable scout and an agent through which can Kham change battlefield in Ali…(Quote)
Yes with no auto-weld from armory, to weld or not to weld would not be a strategic decision or meaningful choice. You (or your teammate) will simply have to do it to survive. However, WHEN to weld will be a strategic …(Quote)

I think you are missing an important point here.
Even now, a good Fade player playing on rookie/low-skill pub server can easily go something like 40/3 K/D. Yes with Focus he would probably achieve 50/2 K/D ratio just as easily, but does …Having Alien Spawn and Marine Spawn so close to each other is a major BAD IDEA.
