after having my suggestions flamed down numerous times although I asked for constructive criticism, I would like to flame back at those people and actually tell them why in NS, gameplay > realism ...
it is quite simple ...
1. In real life, the aliens would be exterminated very fast after they were found to exist and interfere with TSA business ...
2. There would be biological weapons ... anthrax? AIDS? who knows ...
3. NUKES! The fission bombs/missiles!
4. NUKES! The fission->fusion bombs/missiles!
5. Profit!!!
among other things ...

how would they erradicate the aliens quickly? What is it they'd do?
I don't know if "infect this area with some deadly biological weapon" would be an intelligent course of action. For one thing, they don't even know if the aliens are susceptible to the biological agents.
I don't think it's cost effective to "nuke" spaceships, colonies, etc. Aside from scatterbrained people on the internet and in the Aliens movie, "NUKE IT!!" is not considered a viable/realistic option most of the time.
Profit?.. what?...
Of course, no, worse would be if english were their second language.

Gameplay speaking, a nuke would be unfair.
Presonally, you are a retard.
Also,

So basically, they really don't know enough about the kharaa to make any biological weapons against them.
Gameplay is more important then realism.. for example, I would equip all my soldiers with heavy and flamethrowers, before sending them through a heavily armored, electrified, defended by turret, phase gate. They would totally own everything by burning it to a crisp.
That however, would not be a very fun game for the aliens (unless they had like water hoses and could put the flamethrowers out)
So yes, gameplay is a lot more important then realism
But, because people flamed you, doesn't mean you should flame them back.

Thats what you agreed to to enter these forums. I suggest you reread them.
The maturity is overwhelming. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
