    perhaps it is all a matter abt concentration when attacking ? i had this problem sometimes too..but wat i did was juz to blink up and atk the marine when i c it

    juz keep the cool when playin as a fade..guess it helps ?

    It's all a matter of practice... just make sure you watch your armor points going down

    I find it hard to be anything after combat, since combat ups spoil your real skill.

    Right now in combat I do not upgrade further then anything which can be done in classic, for training only.

    Actually i think combat is the best way for people to master all the marine weapons as well as the alien skills. The problem with playing aliens is that some of the ablities don't require skills (*cough* xeno *cough*) so it doesn't really teach someone, whose learning the game, how to play well on ns maps. For instance, on co maps, some new guy could go onos, and get focus, cara, redemp, and stop, and be as reckless as he wants to be, without fear of wasting res. On ns maps, res is very precious as the rate at which you can acquire res is determined by solely by teamwork and RFK and you only get to spend X amount of this res once. Higher lifeforms are also critical to the survival of the alien team, as the game progresses with the marines getting stronger upgrades.

    But back to the point, you guys are right about practice being important and all. I guess it just takes a little adjustment period to get settled back into the pace of gameplay in NS.

    when you go to hit something for the 1st time just shake your mouse like a bastard and you'll generally get a second bite/swipe in <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    how does running around with cara,regen,celer,adren,silence,focus,sof help you get skilled in NS? just how, cause I do not see it.

    Well it teaches you what the abilities are. But, your right, it doesn't make you skilled for ns_maps. However, it lets a player experience what it's like to use a fade. Over time he/she will become good enough to avoid dying and might just be ready to fade on ns maps.

    I know I was scared to go fade in NS maps because I knew I'd be wasting 50 res... but then after fading in combat for a while I was confident enough, and now I'm a pretty good fade in either. I'm certainly not phenomenal, but I can hold my own. Without combat, I don't know if I would have gotten good at any of the alien lifeforms. It's intimidating otherwise.

    The old way? Like we did?
    get good map control, res, and have the res to go fade, die and repeat.<!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Haha, I suppose that would have worked too, but it would have taken longer. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    aye, but you learn to play the entire game, not just a fade. Which worked really well I might add.

    What the _HELL_ is this bug/exploit/feature/trick of getting 2 swipes in by wiggling your mouse? I do it too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> but shouldn`t this be like allways. You can compare this to bhop, something you need to master if you want to be good and you need to be told/thaught about the thing you cant find it out. Is there any easy script compared to 3jump with this double-swipe?

    i spent so much time learning to be a good fade (pre co) its the only alien class i can use <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    as a skulk i get up close, get the first bite in, then these "l337" rines do an 8 feet straft jump in a random direction, and because of the skulks limited view its hard to know exactly were they went, and because they jumped quite a distance, by the time i get to them, im dead <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    fade on the other hand i find it really easy to track rines even when their doing their 8 feet jumps <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
