Commanders Nuke Option

CplDavis

I posted this in the new to NS have questions forum but noone seems to be replying so I pasted it here.

Ive Been playing this great mod since the day it came out. And as I was chainging my controls around in the "control" section there is a commander's hot key for a Nuke. (Unless I have just been imagining this the whole time)

But I have never EVER seen it used in a game, and I play a lot. No one knows how to get it or use it. My roommate and I set up a small server in our dorm to try to build al the marine structures to see if we could get it but with no luck.

So since noone has ever even mentioned it to my knowing, does this thing even exist or what? And if it does how do you get/use it?

Thanks to anyone who can answer.

Patience is a virtue son.

Nuke was removed from the game, but the option to assign a key to it wasnt.

Maybe it'll come back in the future. Maybe it wont. Who knows.

From what i read somewhere, it was supposed to cost 150rp to use. However, in the playtesting games, the marines just stayed in base and saved up the 150rps and nuked all the time.

there was a thing in the command chair that was like a self-destruct option called the "glory device" if I remember correctly.. it basically killed everything in the base including aliens, marines, structures and the command chair. They took it out though for obvious reasons (stupid people pressing the self destruct when it wasn't necessary).

Bots, wow, could you be more wrong? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Don't cite stuff if you're really not too sure guys!

Tleng is closer, but the cost was lower, but multiple nukes were needed to kill hives. Yes, it easily could of been reworked, but we wanted jetpacks brought back in (they were likely going to be left out so work on nukes could be done) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I've seen it used in a Game, an Admin set a vote in for it and everyone voted "Yes" and aftert the countdown EVERYONE was killed, and the picture should a Mushroom Cloud. It sucked.

A nuke would be nice, but it is a long range weapon, right? So shouldn't Umbra shield the aliens (LOL)? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Prolly an admin mod plug-in and not the NS implementation.

No just no. Just imagine the marines having a even easier way of beating the aliens. The aliens have it hard enough without some guy sneaking in and laying a nukes down to instantly win the game. I think if you want to add those bring back the wall of lame since you are basically giving the marines another weapon to destroy aliens bases with ease.
