New Alien Life Forms Based off Hive ?

I think that'd be a really neat idea or just more aliens in general. The gap between Skulk and Fade seem way too large, I think there should be more in between that are combat oriented.

The gap between skulk and fade is Gorge and Lerk...although, the game is designed so that all lifeforms are viable in all stages of the game, theres plenty of gameplay right there....

New Lifeform: The Krol (based on how the other lifeforms cept Onos are named from verbs that have to do with being stealthy; skulk, lurk, fade. So... "Crawl")

Appearance: Spider-like, with 4 legs. Something like the lurker from Starcraft 1, but perhaps less insectile and more saurian to fit with the rest of the lifeforms.

Role: hive defense, soft counter to jetpacks

Strengths: powerful on infestation, strong range attacks, high armor, natural camouflage in infestation

Weaknesses: Lack of mobility, high energy cost on attacks and movement, more passive style of play

Playstyle: Crawl on the ceiling, cloak & wait for marines to come by. Hit them with some kind of devastating ranged attack then scurry away.

Cool abilities- Death Drop: Fall from the ceiling and land directly on a marine to insta-kill it. Requires skill to pull off & exposes yourself afterwards.

there won't be another life-form. maybe wait for a mod. imagine creating a new class and re-balancing the game around that? hells nah

(although it would be cool... like a snake thing or somethin)

Volcano

I think I heard the devs say they are thinking about adding more lifeforms and weapons into the game but this is a long long time away

I don't think anyone wants to play as a barnacle from Half Life.

devs have said in their Q&As that they'd like to add more alien lifeforms (more marine weps are already in the works), but, ofc, not until after 1.0

they also said they'd set the ns1 forum up.... it took a year after a "hacking".... ns1 aside, if they are planning on releases just to balance and make the game better... when will they have time to add a lifeform and/or weapon and balance it w.o regular buyers getting pissed and quitting?
