<div class="IPBDescription">For the skulk,gorge,etc.</div> What do you think is the best combination of skills/evolutions for each alien?

Skulk: Silence, Cloaking, and regeneration
Gorge: No idea for sensor, adrenaline, and regeneration
Lerk: Cloaking, adrenaline and (again) regeneration
Fade: Scent of Fear, adrenaline, and regeneration
Ono: (no ideas, well apart from regeneration <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

(If anyone is wondering why did I put the regeneration everywhere I will say. I find it the only useful evolution from the defence chamber)

    Skulk: Silence, Focus, Regen
    Gorge: Celerity, SoF, Regen
    Lerk: Celerity, SoF, Regen
    Fade: Celerity or Silence (depending on where the rines are) Focus, Cara or Regen again depending on location.
    Ono: Celerity, Cloak, Regen

    Regen is the way forward, eh? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I say you can not say this. Kharaa species need different upgrades for different tasks.

    Especially if you are evolving for mainyl hive defense I would go for carapace instead. Good chance you got DCs nearby. Also adren is better then.

    A player who is a rcon, should mainly have speed, regen and SOF. maybe carapace if healingstations are evenly placed on the map.

    etc. All depends on what you do and what evolution you are.

    Skulk: silence, cloacking, regen (carapice if without sens chambers)
    Gorge: adren, cloaking, regen
    Lerk: celerity, (adren for old lerk though) cloacking, regen
    Fade: adren, cloacking/SoF, regen
    Onos: adren/celerity, (adren usually, but celerity if there's lotsa HA) cloacking/SoF, regen

    Note that this all depends on the situation. These are what I usually do though.

    This is what i normally go with, but in extreme circumstances, it can differ:

    Skulk: carapace, cloaking, celerity
    Gorge: regen, cloaking, celerity
    Lerk: regen, SoF, Adren
    Fade: regen, cloaking, adren
    onos: regen, Focus, celerity

    onos with focus=180 damage a hit
    180 damage a hit = <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Celerity = pwn

    Skulk: Silence; Cloaking; Cara (I don't get why you'd use regen as a skulk. Seems like most rine attacks would have you dead before the healing could kick in.)

    Lerk: Adren; SOF; Regen (I sometimes switch out Celer for Adren, but generally, in an actual NS game, spores/umbar are a more useful than bite, so I like having plenty of energy.)

    Gorge: Adren; Cloaking; Regen

    Fade: Celer/Adren, Focus, Cara/Regen (Cara/Celer if Im assaulting their base, Regen/Adren if I'm running interferance.)

    Onos: Celer, Cloak, Regen

    are u telling me u seriously spend 6 res to xenocide.

    well it all depends for me but i normaly dont bother with upgrades with skulk if anything it be celerity and carapace.

    onos is the only one that doesnt really change (sof, regen, celerity)

    Skulk - Silence, Regen, Cloaking
    - I like playing a hit and run/ambush skulk. Silence/Cloaking help ambushes and Regen/Silence help hit and run (hit, regen damage in silence).

    Gorge - Adrenaline, Redemption, Scent of Fear
    - Adren to web things up and heal, Redemption incase you get caught alone and scent of fear to give you a bit more warning when a big train is coming towards you.

    Lerk - Adrenaline/Celerity, Regen, Scent of fear/Focus
    - Lerk with celerity/focus is loads of fun for a combat lerk. Dive in, take a bite, fly out. For a support lerk, however, adren and scent of fear seem to be the best.

    Fade - Adrenaline, Carapace, Focus
    - Adren for lots of blink usage. I tend to get carapace instead of regen because the fade has metabolize. Carapace keeps you in the fray a bit longer. Focus helps for blinking in, swiping and blinking out.

    Onos - Celerity, Regen, Scent of Fear
    - Standard onos. If you want to eat and run, celerity is your best friend. Regen is next, because an onos usually takes lots of damage and can regen once out of the way. SoF keeps you from charging into 6 hmgs when you only thought there were 2.
