I agree. The khaamander, or whatever it's called, doesn't seem to be encouraged to interact or talk to their squads as much as marines [should the plural noun for khaara be squad? Something like "swarm" seems more appropriateThe alien team needs concede. I can have fun both being and attacking turtling, 1 CC marines. Everyone can fight, you may be losing but you can put up a fight, and exciting stuff is happening--Even if you're meta-losing, you still just blasted tha…(Quote)
The trouble with that is it might end up being one of those hunt-that-one-tiny-little-creature-that-could-be-hidden-anywhere-in-this--huge-map-to-continue scenarios. One skulk hidden in the right place; one lerk perched in the r…If you're on a ceiling, or high on a wall, in can take a surprising long time for marine who enters the room the check the spot where you're at. I've been at 80% camo a few times, moving along the ceiling to get above a door I can hear marines thro…(Quote)
I think skulks should be given less health, so if seen at range they stand much less chance, but be more powerful in close quarter combat so if they can get in close they pose more of a threat. I would also reduce the …(Quote)
It's hard to tell with youtube videos, 'cause you can't frame by frame so easily, but it does look like it's possible for a brief sec the ret was between the skulks legs. Also, are you accounting for bullet spread? Actually…- Performance. Although, I don't see this getting better for me until I get better hardware.

Being unable to play mods without a server I think is holding modding back. If people could try mods out offline the ones that people enjoyed would get known for being go…I had an idea sorta like this. Giving skulks a spider's silk like strand that they can shoot from one wall to another to walk across, the marines would break it when running through it, but it would slow them down for a step--so could be a really '…(Quote)
This!
I've always quite liked modding--though i'm a total amateur at it, and i was really exited about modding NS2. All my ideas thus far have ended in failure after I've spent fruitless hours wadding through lua files…Have you tied looking down, jumping and placing a glog beneath you before you fall? I've used this earlier today to get up to high vents

Nm, i misread your post, and then i spelled misread wrong
I do like the thread's id…Has anybody suggest a (maybe third hive upgrade) bouncing bile bomb? You'd have to aim the angle right to get it to bounce where you want, but it would add that little bit of extra range for late game gorging...I've not been playing the game very long; only about 40 hours; only on gorgeous and the patch before. So i don't know about a lot of the things that have been tried and abandoned previously so sorry if this has been thunk up before.
Wou…My Pc is the pretty much the minimum spec and i can run it at about 30 - 40fps on 800x600, i can get 30ish fps *most* of the time on the 10x7 resolution.
I've also been through the Nvida control panel to turn everything down I could on t…Could you not make focus nerf all speed rather than just attack speed, or maybe nerf your speed in combat (kinda like the opposite of how celery [sic] increases speed outside of combat). That way it *might* force aliens to stick around and fight ra…(Quote)
Whilst I sorta get your point this is a multiplayer game: If one team needs to stay away from the other team then you've made a multiplayer game where to win you need to avoid interaction with other players. Sneaky attacks …I thought it felt a bit like i was playing through a telescope, but my PC is so bad i just dropped down to 800x600 and presumed it was that. I really need a job so i can stop playing games on a computer comparable to a calculator and two rocks duct…(Quote)
As i typed "Gorgie-pops" i was wondering about the gender of Gorges. I presumed they were female (what with laying eggs), but i figured Gorgie-pops sounded better than Gorgie-mama.
Also, are we shure the Khaara s…(Quote)
Make this the sixth then! I guess it's still good for getting the gorgy-porgies around though--the amount of times i've had an Onos run away from me, leaving me slowly plodding (and bellysliding ;P) around marine territory by myse…(Quote)
If the Babbler's needed their parent Gorge to be alive (and a still a Gorge); thus had a timed life once Gorgie-pops was gone that would make sense to me. As a player i wouldn't be wondering where they'd gone, and why, it wo…Perhaps they're no longer hidden, but they're still not "readily apparent to the player".

I spent half of the last game i played bile bombing my own toes, but if they changed the name to Bile Dribble, and it's doesn't totally flat-line the alien's chances: I could live with itin Babblers, Babblers, Babblers Comment by WoollySammoth March 2013

It also makes it feel a bit too much like you need micromanage them too much--getting babblers attached to a fade mid-fight is way more hassle than it ought to be…(Quote)
Isn't it 30 t.res + 10 p.res for each sphincter + 10 p.res for the gorge ? 30 p.res + 30 t.res = is a lerk + something else researched. They don't seem so cheap to me, but i've yet to see one utilised well(Quote)
From what i recall Onos are named after the phrase "Oh, no" which means they are constructed by english speaking people, speaking english, in an english phrase. It's not latin, so it's doubtful it's a second declension, masculine,…It's going! XD
I'm so excited I could sit here waiting for the next 20ish minutes!
