Hey Guys,

Early Skulk Concept

<a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/shared/static/uploads/75954214e166bd423.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/shared/static...14e166bd423.jpg</a>


My edited version of a new alien based on this concept (cheers cory <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />)
I just added a few parts.

What do you think? Maybe it could be a good seperate Alien to the Skulk or whatever.. just more defensive?

Attacks and Skills - i don't know. Maybe a poison attack like umbra, only in the parasite way?
Leap - only like a frog or something? The outtaken lerk attack, where it spits spikes? Hopefully you Guys have ideas, too.

So, discuss.

I think it's damn cool looking and maybe it is for use. If not, wayne.

    I hate to be deadly honest, but your "new alien concept" appears to be "I just randomly photoshopped bits onto a skulk".

    Not really a concept for a new alien is it? A concept would have some ideas for what it would do, like this:

    I imagine it to be <b>slow like a Gorge</b>, but with a <b>slash attack</b> and <b>wall climbing abilities</b>, maybe a hybrid between the two. Maybe it can build one <b>new type of chamber</b>? A <b>flame chamber </b> maybe? Yeah... which <b>explodes and does damage to marines around it when it is destroyed</b>. This <b>chamber wouldn't need a hive</b>, it would <b>just require this alien to build it</b>, and maybe this alien can only <b>build 1-3 of them depending on how many hives</b> the aliens have. The chamber would be it's of its first weapon maybe...

    And it has a flame attack, like a flame thrower. Which gets can fire further with more Focus. I imagine this would be the 3rd weapon, maybe the 2nd is slash. Or maybe Slash should be the first, as you cant really build with no hives. Yeah I think that would work better right?

    I think it's last weapon would either be either a flame version of xenocide, which leaves an area of flame around it when it dies. Or a jump attack, or maybe that should be the 3rd attack, and the Flame thrower should be last? But then if it is slow it might be a bad idea to have a slash. maybe a boost thing that allowed it to run away... no I have got it, a flame bile bomb!

    Ok enough thinking allowed,
    <b>My round up:</b>

    <b>
    Name: Undecided, Vesta (Greek Goddess, protector of the Home and has a flame as her symbol) Or Vulcan (Roman God of the Forge, where weapons are made, a bit too Star Trek I would say) Or Vlam (I just changed my wiki to Netherlands on the "Flame" page. lol!)

    COST: undecided, more than a Gorge but less than a Fade (20?)

    Weapons:
    1st: Slash: Damage 65, ROF 1.24sec. Energy cost: 5%
    2nd: Build Flame Chamber: Energy cost: 50% (see below for details.)
    3rd: Flame: Damage 40 on burst (leaves flames along the length of the burst which fall to the ground and cause Damage 9/sec) flames stay for 3sec, ROF: 1/sec, Energy cost: 5% (needs 25% to start, but will fire until energy is depleted)
    4th: Flame Bomb (Napalm?): Damage 40 on explosion (leaves flames, radius 100), ROF 3sec, Energy Cost 28%, does splash damage and flames remain on floor: Radius of 100, stay for 3sec, Damage 9/sec.

    Flame Chamber (AKA FC):
    1 Per Hive.
    Damage: Fires out Flame (see above, 3rd weapon) Range improves on each hive built
    Hitpoints: 1000
    Prerequisites: 1 fully built Hive.
    Flame Chambers remain up even if the player dies, but the player may not build any more even if they become this alien again.
    </b>

    Ok, what do you think of that?

    Maybe, but wouldn't that suggest that every alien had an upgrade species? Maybe 2 more on top of it? So you could become Flame Onos and MEGA ONOS! Actually that sounds a bit stupid. How would Onos, Fades and Lerks change if they got to evolve again? I think my suggestion would be an upgrade from Gorge if anything, but I just suggested it as a species based on the look of whoppaXXL image.

    But yeah nogoodnickname the Armour/Health sounds about right. Maybe 60 armour I recon those spines would give it a little more protection and also because it's filled with loads of flammable liquid. But then again it might be more fun to lower the armour just to see it explode <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
