Exloding Skulks

Squart

<div class="IPBDescription">late game upgrade for skulks</div>I havent played NS1 but a friend of mine told me there have been exploding skulks and i love that idea. because in late games mariens always win if they got a good commander because there was no way to destroy the turrets as an alien. So i was thinking of something like the arc cannon but because aliens are more melee this (exploding skulks) seemed to be the solution for the problem. Kind of like in Starcraft 2 when they roll over you with lots of zerklings. should do more dmg to buildings though then to units.

So what do you think ???

I think if the aliens got some kind of sensory chamber, they can do a bit more.
I also hope for a community ns1 classic mode, which can be shiped with the game later.

you're talking about genocide or was it xenocide, anyway the skulk ability from ns1, as far as "no way for aliens to kill sentires" thats a downright lie, aliens have many ways to kill turrets right now, you have bile bomb which does AOE damage and a decent amount of damage, you can send in fades to soak up sentry damage while killing marines and have skulks go in and chomp, or skulk rush and leap apst the sentries lines of fire find a blind start and start opening more than one blind spot.

Still would be fun to explode as a skulk though. Now I can't recall clearly, but didn't xenocide on skulks also have some kind of awesome screaming noise when it went off? Or am I just imagining it.

You triggered it, the skulk screeched out and after 2 or so seconds the skulk exploded. Usually you'd set it off, switch to leap and jump into the middle of a group if possible.

I remember a lot of pushing their base before hearing "Ryaaaaaaaaaar! *BOOM!*" Very memorable, I'd love to see it back.
