- The texture for the alien's egg model comes from a piece of ham which was scanned.

Your go!

    Inside the Egg, there is a giant sperm!

    You can see it by glitching through the model while spawning as an Alien. Seems abit wasted rendering as you'll never see it, has reflections and all. :P

    No no no the sperm is going to be visible! The devs always planned alien structures to have a translucency to them.

    Remember when there was talk about the hive being able to see inside but they haven't incorporated translucency yet. I would Imagen its the same for the eggs. Also the drifters in some concept art are also translucent. So tha'ts my little NS2 tidbit

    That's really rather unpleasant, I hope the eggs stay opaque or maybe just slightly translucent...

    I reckon just the top will be transparent. It looks silly having the sides transparent too.

    Looks too unrealistic to me. The carapace at the top of the egg looks rather thick. The opacity should be increased a lot.

    What happened to the fun facts? Keep em coming! =P

Heh. Since when do aliens need to be pleasant looking? I thought this was an amusing reply. I'd have to see them in the game before I could determine if they fit. I'm still getting used to drifters and the new chambers, which look out of place to me.

    <b>Fun fact</b>: when NS2 was first announced, some forumers were speculating that it would be released in late 2007. The latest predictions were late 2008, early 2009.
