Hm... I can see where this is going. There was another post just like this in the New Players forum. And the Frontiersman forum :/

k, ill tell you how to upgrade/etc in easy to follow steps:

<u>To Evolve to "Gorge"</u>
1 Right click (defualt)
2a Move mouse up ("Evolve")
3 Move mouse to "gorge" or "skulk". you start as skulk, though you can return to it at any time. these two evolutions need no hive.
<u>To advance higher</u> (ex. Fade)
2b Repeat steps 1 and 2a above. Ignore 3.
3 Move mouse further up to "Adv. Evolution"
4 Click on desired evolution. (Lerk can fly, needs one hive. Fade is assualt trooper, needs 2 hives. Onos is marine smashing fun, though you arn't invulnerable; 3 hives needed.)

<u>To upgrade</u>
1 Right click and move mouse left to "upgrades"
2 Move mouse to one of the upgrade paths and choose one. If you get a "cannot do this" sort of message, the chamber is not built. usually Defence chambers are built first; so if you see a smaller Defence chamber (ref. to as a "DC") flashing on your screen, move your mouse to one of the DC's upgrades. be sure to try them all on every evolution, as you need to find what best fits YOU in a situation or as a player.

<u>To build</u>
To build right click once more, and move the mouse to the Right to build a:
<b>Hive (80 res)</b> These can only be built where there is a "ghosted" model of a hive. This is the thing you spawn from, if you lose them all you will slowly die. (as of 1.04)
<b>Offence chamber</b> (16 res. ref. as a "OC". not OGC [as OGC is a hack. dont cheat. cheating = bad as you will get banned.])
<b>Resource Node</b> These can only be placed on the small grey particle-spewing fountains called "Nodes".

To build UPGRADE chambers Right click once more and move the mouse to the left as if you were going to upgrade something. This time, however, you stop one short of the upgrade and click on the desired upgrade chamber. DC, SC, or MC (SC is Sensory, MC is Movement)

Sadly, many people perfer DC's over anything else first as they provide the most utility; players can have extra armor with "Carapace" or "Regeneration" or "Redemption" (low life teleprt to active hive). <b>ALWAYS ASK THE PEOPLE OF WHAT THEY WANT</b>. DONT be a lame gorge (remember how to evolve? only gorges can build) who builds a SC (though they are not bad they have the worst "Utility" early game.) and leaves (its just not nice)

DC lets you Regenerate, have more armor (Carapace), or Redeem (tele at low HP to active hive)

SC lets you Cloak, sense marines HP level (Scent of fear) or see marines in full-bright half-transparency (Adv. hive sight; this is GOD in dark maps. <i>press "Flahslight" key to activate</i>)

MC lets you move faster (Celerity), move silently (Silence) or have more energy to fire (adrenalin)


Remember, if you're gonna go gorge, ask first, then ask for the chamber the people want first and second. (sadly, most people want DC->MC->SC. hell, SC is hardly used at all.)
