<div class="IPBDescription">please read and comment</div> ok i was just sitting here and i thought...
why dont we replace spore with spike...
then remove redemption from the defence chamber
THEN make a new defence ability called natrual <b>defence</b> that gave the person who upgraded it a chance to cast a spore when hit.
Natural defence:
lvl 1: 10% chance to cast Spore on self when hit
lvl2: 15% chance to cast spore on self when hit
lvl 3 : 20% chance to cast spore on self when hit,
This sound really cool as an ability. It would really help those who have to get in close to fight. And its at such a low percent that only a few will be out at a time UNLESS your an onos being chanced by 5 lmg marines then youll get a HUGE cloud. You could stop so many form being casted by putting a max spore count in a certin radius.
C MON lerks want their Spike back I want redemtion removed and a new fresh ability. We both win as well as improve ns.

I do think Redemption needs to either be replaced or changed in function though. The way it works now it will always be either too weak(useless on lower life forms, unreliable on higher ones) or too strong(useful for lower life forms, invincible Onoses/Fades). I don't care if it's balanced, Redemption is no fun at all for marines when it works properly.
Worthless.

Nah, this is generally atyipcal. If you like this stuff however, be sure to swing by the I&S forums <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And the thing with the spore cloud "natural defense": It sounds cool, but that´s all.
Any thread with "OMG" and/or "I got an idea" in the title is bound to be pure comedy gold.

Oh and lower the percentages to 5, 10, 15 at most.
i can think of no alien creature i'd want this upgrade for. onos regen every time.. fade regen or cara depending on if it's early or late, lerk regen, skulk cara, gorge.. not enough health to give him chance of releasing the cloud!

I agree, spore dose't seem like a def thing anway.
get an onos taking down a turret farm while digesting.... GAS UP THE ROOM!!!!
hahaha ladies and gentlemen, i believe the onos digestive process is now complete
on topic however, keep spores dont add spikes again... lerk is fine the way it is now
On the three levels, make the bullet blockage increase.
1 -> 2/3 66%
2 -> 3/4 75% 9% Increase
3 -> 4/5 80% 5% Increase
I'm not saying lerk spikes is a wonderful attack, but it was orgasmic with silence and would see in-flight use with 3.0s flight model (cheap as free flying).
The best redemption suggestion I've seen allows aliens below a set percentage of health to redeem after a short amount of time, if they are standing still. That way they can't redeem in combat, but if they can escape combat they can get back to a hive much faster.
Slightly more on topic, it doesn't make sense to have an upgrade with a particle effect that everyone can see. Too much lag. You could have a personalised umbra without the particles I suppose, but you would probably need some kind of disadvantage like a loss of energy while it is active. Otherwise why isn't active all the time?
