I'll also take carapace any day. Regenration is nothing short of lazyness to flying back to hive/nearest crag station. Also, the 50 eHP you mention are often the difference between a lerk and a dead lerk. :l

That sums it up, really. -
I've recently started to monitor khammanders decisions on that matter after reading this thread, and the consequences on the game. My conclusion is definite: crag is the only way to go. Here's why:

Sooo .. If I'm not happy with something and express it, I am therefore "flamebombing"/"flamebaiting" on the devs ? We're back on what I said: why do I get the feeling only praises are allowed again ?
-
So if a post has to be a "very well thought out contribution to the thread" to exist; how do you justify your last post ?
Hah, paradoxes, you know. -

Why do I have the feeling my post would "contribute something" had it been "I LOVE NS2" ? -
Would you mind explaining to NS2 players like me what Devour is/does, please ?

Deleted - post not contributing anything - GISP

If you filter servers without rookies ones, you already have less than 20 servers available. Gather the community, don't split it up.
-
I feel last patch really helped adressing the issue (marine vs skulk), but we're still not quite where it should be.

I haven't tested NS2 FD, but WoW's FD was tons of fun and was actually hard to master. I'd definitely be happy to have it back in the game.

I am lost in the quote war. Can we please keep it readable ?

I'll quote that because of how much this sums the problem here. Asymetric games are often very fun. Think: L4D 1 & 2, Alien vs Predator, or Zombie Panic, a CS: Source mod, opposing an ever-growing zombie teams (dead humans turn… -

I've seen many Marine sides fighting on instead of conceding. I never see that as an Alien.
Again and again, why ? One word: fun. You still have fun shooting stuff as a Marine, even when on your last stand, because you … -

Being outplayed refers to a situation with both side having the same chances. So no, most concedes aren't for outplayed reasons. Most are because one side has no commander, no player or only real bad ones. I'm rarely outplayed, yet… -

And I mine. Which is stating people only lose because they're getting outplayed is dumb and oblivious of what really happens on public servers. -

I totally believe that. If 12 years old rookies left 120 seconds into the match and I had to face alone three Marines, this is my fault, I have been outplayed. If my commander has no microphone and haven't placed a single cyst in 8… -
I'm not sure you get the point: what you're saying is true. Except one side (Marine) is dumb easy while the other one (Alien) is down-right hard to just learn, not even master.
-
There is and there isn't. Balance on pubs is achieved through fun. It's simple as that; skulks aren't fun to play -> people don't play them -> no balance.
If people were to chose between Marine and Aliens blind folded, I think we'd… -
YOU ARE NOT MY REAL FATHER OKAY ?

Maybe. Sounds nice.
ATM the game feels awful; you have the choice between a fun but too easy Marine experience and a gimped and deserted by the community Alien experience. I'm forced to shame veterans out of Marines to … -

Oh yeah ? What about 7 Marines vs 6 Skulks, then Skulk commander leaves the server after 30 seconds ? And what about all the good players stack Marine side and Alien side has only rookies without microphone ?

GJ on summing up Ender's strategy.

This. Heavy stacking all the time. -
Silence is extremely good. I'm surprised that many people seem to think it should be a third hive option. Silenced Fade = unkillable machine. Silenced Skulk is also very strong, you can take out two Marines without much preparation for it.
-
I've been playing exclusively alien after reading and posting in this thread, just to have a good opinion on how and why Marines win more than Aliens (I don't care what stats say, my games are 60/40 for Marines). I don't really agree it's because of…

To be honest, I've wrote exactly the same about one week ago. No developper answer atm. We can only wait and pray.

See ? You just changed my point completely. That's never what I said, and you know it.
I said that marines have the advantage at range and can still win at close quarter combat. Skulk can only win if:

Just a quick reply to those suggesting ambushing and picking fights is the rule for skulks: yes it works most of the times. But not all the time. If the marines team is pushing hard your base, you can't "ambush", or "pick your fight". You have to ge…

What about a crippling bite, limiting jumping speed/distance after the first bite. Would work as a debuff applied by the bite, with a duration of something around one second, two maximum.
