I thought this post was about aliens stealing beer ingredients. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
On a related note, do the aliens take falling damage?
Ok people, this topic went way offtrack. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> I think tiny will be able to jump in v1, and if not in all of the later versions aswell. Jumping on marines and killing them? Not likely, but you never know. Fall damage? i would think yes.

(Though if you wanted to search into the depths of the forum, you'd find that Flayra removed all fall damage for the level 1.)
See, I don't need to think, OR search, when I have people like greedo around. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
I'm glad to hear that Bob can't be hurt by falling. That makes good sense.
bob not taking falldamage makes more sense than my whole lifes amount of sense added up ;] Yeah but the flyer alien slowly glides downward without using energy(at least thats how I interpret it) and he can also flap(takes energy) for when he needs to go up, so I hardly think he would die from falldamage ;]
I forget where, but the flyer (since when has he been called batty?) operates like the 80's game <i>Joust</i>. Press the spacebar to flap, the better the spacing the more optomized your flaps. You would also slowly glide down to the earth as your wings are outstreched, just not flapping. I also read somwhere on this forum that flyer is quite slow and unweildy when not flying. can someone confirm this?
Yeah, about what greedo said, we can't officially SAY anything, because we don't really know everything, so it's in our best guess, that we answer these things in.
Two more questions on <!--emo&:tiny:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':tiny:'><!--endemo--> :
1. Has any PT saw a Tiny go up a ladder yet?
2. Is Level 5's vaunerable spot not being able to get to high ground in which a Marine is on a second level.
As far as I know is Tiny able to climb ladders and get to all locations marines can go to. So this isn't Tinys vulnerable spot. *edit: I also think that Tiny has at least one long-range attack
I dont think that tiny has any long ranged attack...
As for Tiny climbing ladders I remember a topic about it and I dont think he can, however, you can deevlove to a bob then just climb the wall/ladder then reevolve to Tiny once you are up it. I barly remember the topic so I could be wrong and tiny could be able to climb ladders...
I remember that thread too (or one similar too it) but it ended with someone on the dev team or a PT saying that tiny could and forever would be able to climb ladders for gameplay's sake.
