IF beta 5 is going to be the offical release, what the hell happend to the BUS?
It seems it isnt going to go ahead for version 3.0 so tell us if you have scrapped the idea or is it still going ahead.

    It's on hold. I believe it's waiting on XP-Cagey for something.

    no i believed you are confused, the yellow line bus is waiting on xp-cagey, the red line bus had a wreck into a sewage plant/uranium depository and no one has heard from it.

    the rape bus is right around the corner for the next person who spams...*cough*

    I do believe the BUS will not be deployed in beta 5...

    or maybe the BUS wasnt ready and the week delay is to get it working right?

    IIRC, they still don't know if XP-Cagey can contribute to NS now that he has a job with EA. Something might be in his contract prohibiting him from working on other games/mods or summat.

    xp-cagey is prohibited to "work for free" and is also prohibited from "working for other companies" during his time at EA. XP-Cagey's position in the bus is no more, but he will be missed.

    no new information of the BUS has been released, we will know more when 3.0 comes out (beta 5 isn't suposed to be the *last* release before 3.0 alpha, but just the next step)

    consider this an official answer.

    As of Flayra's last post on this issue, the BUS was officially on hold until XP-Cagey's(who played the largest role in its development) ability to continue working on it was determined. If Delarosa has heard more recent news, then I suppose Cagey is officially off the project. Flayra said that in that case he would need time to find someone else, but the BUS was definitely still going to be implemented eventually.

    Can you elaborate on that a bit? The front page says they're hoping for beta 5 to be "the official 3.0 release." It doesn't get much more final than that, unless it was just a poorly worded way of saying that it's the version to be released on Steam. Can we still expect to be on a "beta" patch schedule after Steam release or not?

    The Big Unannounced System, some mysterious future feature that's been hyped a lot some months ago. And nobody knows what it actually is.

    I know what it is. The marines can get a big onos suit and pretend to be an onos. One marine at the front, one in the middle and one at the back. Easy guess.

    Alien commander. Any alien can press +use on the hive and become an alien commander. One commander per hive, and the commander has the ability to give aliens waypoints, and with a lerk spotting, can seige marine buildings. Only difference is the alien seige works by going underneath and shooting spike up thru buildings and stuff. Also, alien commander can beacon.

    It probably means NS is going to be an official mod on Steam. (My Games list, Auto updates, etc.)

    This will either be regarded as teasing or PR, but I recently got a few additional informations about BUS. It's closer than you might think, and at least to me, it looks damn cool.

    Not necessarily. People say that 'the prospects look quite good', too, for example.
