<div class="IPBDescription">were there nukes?</div> Hey, I was just wondering if anyone can give me some information on Nukes, if there were any in the old ns. If there is, what was it like, how much damage did it do, was it a gun or was it launched by the commander?

Thanks

    There were nukes pre-1.0, during the testing stages. No matter how much they tweaked it, it was unbalanced and taken out midway through testing.

    Hope this answers your question.

    More info on the nuke, I didn't read through your post well :/

    Nukes are buildings that when built, could be detonated by the Comm. This pretty much destroyed anything in its blast radius, so you can imagine how much damage it does.

    as previously stated, it was pre-release, but it was taken out not because of it's blast radius or anything; it was the fact that the marines would sit in their base, hoard res, and the build it behind a massive turret farm was why it was removed. Nukes were basically a "Build a instant-win!" building.

    /mestillthinks the screenshots need updating....
    I mean, they still show the nuke, which has been out of the game since.. well it's been YEARS now =D
    I can imagine how they can cause some confusion, since it's one of the first things a nubcaek to this game looks at.

    Nukes were special buildings that slowly ticked down and then exploded for a fair amount of damage, but could be destroyed by the aliens. As mentioned above it was removed so marines couldn't camp just their spawn long enough for nuke themselves to victory. And at least sieges no longer fire directly at players *shudders*.

    people seem to be asking for their postcounts to be reset, at postcount shouldnt be used to determine someone's intelligence or experiance

    on a side note, yes there were nukes. from what i hear they were painfully unballanced.
