<div class="IPBDescription">City of Heroes creation guide</div> For all the NSers who are also playing City of Heroes, I'm planning on getting together a Squad Five, of themed characters. (Squad 5 is the non-themed casual group)
Going to be putting together build-guides for both the standard Marine, as well as an HA Marine.

Comments
Also detail 1 on the helmet can be the vents or whatever they are on the sides of the helmet in game, there is a suitable model available.
edit: and the gloves in mine cam out differently, I think you didn't mention blend or the proper white
New screenies up, with AA, and all three types shown. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I may end up darkening that yellow as suggested, as it IS a bit glaring at the moment. Just could barely see it when it was darker, on my screen. Very weird. (edit) You're right, 3,7 looks much less painful. Changing it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> And unfortunately, HA doesn't have anything on the sides. It has a neck-guard coming up off the shoulders on either side. Only Vent 5 looks semi-decent, comparing against the original.(/edit)

Didnt crop it, so Its linkage.
I can't seem to find Gamesurge. I only have Gamesnet. I'm a complete boob when it comes to mIRC so help a brotha out <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
BTW, I can get into a #nscoh room on Gamesurge, is this the same one? (it's been empty all day <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
EDIT: Has anyone decided on a naming convention? Are we using the TSA <forum name> idea?
ack! I meant GAMESNET. ugh. Help?
This makes me really want the game so I can continue on the trail of <b>DUBBILEX-TSA</b>
Perhaps I'll actually play, if not for the game then for Squad Five <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Obvious power restrictions... I'd rather keep standard Marines to being Assault Riflers, though secondary powers are malleable.
As well, I'm open to other concepts (such as MedBots and the like), so long as they maintain the color and design scheme of the TSA. For the themed group not using these pre-sets, I'll have to approve on an individual basis... but I STRONGLY suggest using one of the presets.
Commanders use the same body type, but are Controllers with Empathy as their secondary power. First power pool should either be Hover or Camouflage, the second PP being the other.
Can you give me specific intructions on how to get to the IRC channel? I R T3H L0ST!

1) Go to the <a href='http://www.mirc.com' target='_blank'>MIRC webpage</a> and download, install & run mIRC.
2) Select the appropriate server (see image)
4) Select the natural selection chanel.
5) Click join.
*EDIT* I just tried to join #naturalselection and my address was atomatically banned. I think God hates me.
I'm using hydra Irc, and this link works for me.
Just copy and paste on your internet explorer.
hit Add
irc.us.gamesurge.net port:6667
now either type:
/join #naturalselection (or #NSCoH)
or click the chanel folder and type in #naturalselction or #NSCoH
as soon as i've had some sleep that is.
(it's past 6am and i've not slept yet!).
I'll be in #nscoh and on the Victory server
whenever i'm playing. And always under the alias
"DY357LX". :-D
I'll be uploading screenshots to
<a href='http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pete.taylor2/images/City%20of%20Heroes/' target='_blank'>http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pete.taylor2/...%20of%20Heroes/</a>
My character has <i>just</i> hit level 4, but i'll
be putting alot of time into this because its fun :-).
Does X-Fire support this game?
<a href='http://www.irfanview.com/' target='_blank'>Irfanview</a> or <a href='http://www.bittorrent.net' target='_blank'>Photoshop</a>
Yeah - I recommend Irfanview <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
