Alien Ship Theme

Heres an idea, you know in alien1 they find an alien ship? How about a whole map in a similar theme, could even be the same story as the movie. Would be really cool, would be nice with some unique textures, and it would be even scarier for the marines.

Here Harry S.truman feel free to add this one to my "long spewing list of very poor suggestions."

    Would be neat I guess, but I don't think the Kharaa are capable of utilizing a ship.

    I was under the assumption the marines were on a purely defensive stance.

    they could be on a defensive stance. what if a ship blinked into tsa controlled territory?

    although this would be cool to carry out, i dont think they'd have a chance in hell trying to set up a base on a kharaa ship, even the floor could be hostile. additionally, the commander can see as a result of the network existing in human facilities. how would you explain how the comm could see?

    thematic nit-picking aside, i think it'd be really neat to try

    I don't think the Kharaa could use a ship, but they could definantly infest an alien vessel that was already on it's way into human controled space.

    exactly this is what I mean

    Kharaa are parasites, not builders.
    But, we can imagine a <b>totally</b> infested human ship that make it looks like an alien ship. At some point, there can be some "human relic" (as a body merged into an organic alien wall or stuff like that ... )

    The Kharaa are supposed to be defensive. Story-wise at least.

    We can also imagine that, as stated above, they infest an alien vessel, like in alien1

    Umm if so why do they always infest human ships and bases? Sounds very aggressive to me. If they are so defensive wouldnt it be smarter to just build a hive out in the wilderness or something? Maybe they like the warmth of the electricity, but its still aggresive.

    do you consider mold aggressive? no, just opportunistic. as are the kharaa

    (why did i even bother posting this?)

    Mold is pretty damn agressive when it gets in your stomach. Just like when the Humans on the ships started setting their Sterilzers to attack the Kharaa Bacterium. The Kharaa acted defensively and started making hives and then started killing the "attackers".
    It was the humans fault all along!

    Blah, I took all this information, molded it a bit, then plopped it here from the manual.

    Damn I hate it when this happens, ns_?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> (not got a name for it) Is going to be my alien only map. Someone has almost figured out the idea I am implying. Well I might as well tell it as I have done the layout but not brushwork. The idea is . . . .

    Going To Be Posted On The Forums At a later date

    the difference is that mold doesnt try to destroy you when you come to remove it.

    <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>This gives me an idea. Someone should craft a map located on the inside of a marine's body. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Think of all the possible hive placement and marine insertion points. . . . . Oh geez. At second thought, don't.

    Hm, an alien ship. Well, the Kharaa, as has been stated, are not equipped to control starships regardless of the fact they are intelligent enough to run any elevator or open any panel-controlled door they encounter. during battle. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> But I suppose a mapper could create a non-Kharaa "alien" ship of mysterious origin that the Kharaa have infested.

    There's room for quite a bit of unique style and atmosphere within that idea.</span>
