Older versions:

CC = 10k
Hive = 6K

Theres always the click to spawn feature someone suggested, it would help because when your being spawn camped, just wait for your team and suddenly and hopefully you can overwhelm marines.

My spawn chamber is big enough to not fit in ANY vent. It's twice as big as an OC! If necessary, we can make it even bigger. And also, the n-build radius around it will ensure that aliens have room to get out.

Making a new chamber would require too much work - new art, new animations (building), revision of ingame menu, decent amount of coding, and much bug testing.

But would it further balance the game? I think it might. I also think it is something worth looking into. Large game spawn queues are horrible.

BTW, I cant remember how to spell queues. If I am wrong someone correct me.

maybe just have the hive spawn 2 aliens at a time instead of one?

Church

You mean double the wait time, but if there are 2 or more aliens in REIN status, then two get spawned at the same time? It's an idea to look into...

in one word: wave spawn?

I don't know about doubling the wait time before 2 aliens spawn. Some increase would be nice, but the longer wait time might make the game harder for aliens if they have to go somewhere outside teh hive to fight.

mirrodin

Increased skulk production?
1 reinforcing first hive (Normal)
3 reinforcing second hive? (+1)
4 reinforcing thrid hive? (+1)

Since usually the second hive is up by the time the seige begins it might help increase the chances of repulsing the attack. Meh, just an idea.

siegeing should take longer. and if the siege takes damage it shouldn't be able to fire for a couple seconds.

Just for clarification: "wave spawn" is, in fact, two words. Thank you, thank you.

The three biggest changes that need to be implemented:

1.) Fixed kharaa res system

2.) Fixed Kharaa spawn

3.) Lifeform rebalancing.

For all I care they could nerf the OC's, but as long as they fix those 3 problems with Natural Selection: Classic, it might actually be fun to play again. That'd be a shock.

For all of you wondering, lifeform rebalancing means that the alien classes should be altered in terms of speed, HP, and AP to take away the reliance upon the fade to save the Kharaa team.

Oh yeah, and a nerfed MT would be extremely helpful.
