Anyway: Mines has to be the F|A|D|E. Although not my fave alien its the best to me. Its complete in everyway. <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It has a HARSH close combat attack. It has a nice long range SPLASH attack. It has a getaway attack and even a HEALING ATTACK!
#
It can conquer any marine.
Tactics:
1) for normal marines - Blink, Swipe, Blink, Meta, Finish
2) for Jetpacker marines - Blink Swipe, Blink away, Meta, Blink Swipe ect.
3) for HA marines - I) Acid Rocket all there Armour down or to weaken their health, Blink in, Slash, Blink out Meta repeat over.
II) Blink in, Swipe, Blink out, Blink in, Swipe, Blink out repeat.
Good choice of Upgrades: Fades generally SHOULD have:
I) Redemption
II) Adrenlin
III) Focus, SOF, or cloacking
In CO my personal faves include:
I) Redemption, Regen, Carapace = Healing redeeming 250 armoured fade XD
II) Adrenlin, Silence (maybe celerity)
III) SOF
More Info:
Many of you think why SOF?
Well its a great thing with a fade. Especially when all you want to do is pwn frag. Useing the great tactic of blinking and blink swiping you can easily see where they are ZOOM in and swipe then when satisfied ZOOM out. But if still alive you can see him.
Also when waiting for regen to heal u. If one is sneaking up he can be seen and you can run.
Please post your comments and bests.

My fav! Ok...
Against Jp its the lerk with focus and celerity, or focus leap skulk.
Against Ha, its onos, duh.
Against turret farms, bile bomb gorge with a mc or 2 beside me.
But in general, I like the fade a lot. Fast, strong, resonable hp, and skill demanding.
Skulk is great if marines don't get Gl, if they do, they asked for it...no more mr nice skulk.
Every aliens rocks in my book.
I love to just make a myself as big of a pain in the arse as possible with a lerk. It may not seem like it, but sporespamming is a skill against good marines.
except for adren <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
Why adren? Only reason why I'd see a fade in need of adren is if he can't blink right and he wastes his energy. Plus since you blink faster you don't need to blink as much.
Metabolise does so much more in good hands than the weak adrenaline...anyway thats why ns classes are customisable to anyones taste/skill.
Adrenlin is like soo much energy for blink who needs to walk just BLINK!
Skulk is the best overall alien.
(cara, silence, sof)
The Gorge is the best in my book. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> There's nothing like bilebombing a turret farm, or killing a marine with spitgun/healspray. In terms of usefulness: you can't win without a Gorge. Building is important, but it's always great to have a healspraying Gorge if you're an Onos on the assault.
redemption as a fade (for me) just counters the whole point of a fade.
imho fades are there not as big hitters but as the ultimate hit and run machine. blinkking away > redemption. Redemption is close to useless even in combat. a fade with 5+ upgrades has no real reason to die if he/she is smart and skilled enough... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
but just for co, focus + celerity owns
Fear the sneak attack <u><!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--></u> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo-->
head bitey!
skulk - sneak attacks are 1337
gorge - fun to kill a marine whos trying to knife you
lerk - flying is 1337
fade - looks 1337, and being a stealthy fade is fun... allthough i dont like the way they made him look in game. i like the drawling of him.
onos - im hungry. nuff said
im working on mastering all classes
Practice, practice...my energy goes to zero about twice a mount, unless I don't have meta.
In NS : Regen, Adrenaline, Focus
CO : Regen, Cara, Adren, Celerity, Focus, SoF
With Focus, I can take down ANY rine 1v1, even heavies with SG or HMG, IF there's a lot of room to maneuver. In those *fall games, I go nuts with Focus Lerk.
In NS, I'm still good with them but my scores are usually around the middle unless we get third hive, or Sense first. Focus will take 2 hits to kill a rine without Armor 3. Combined with the Lerk's fast "get away" ability, which I think is as good as Blink, and its a **** to deal with if you're rine. Fly in, bite, fly out, fly in, bite, fly out, get +res, hear a lot of swearing directed at you, rinse, repeat =)
Skulk is the best overall alien.

Amen. By best I mean most fun. There is something scary about silent leap, it's just mean.
As for Fade debate: Adren, Regen.
Sure you have meta but you need to run away. With adren and regen you can blink around <b>forever</b> in a large area. Marines can't hit you enough to cause damage faster than regen heals it.
Blink around until their reloading. FUN FUN FUN!
Lerk is easy to use in beginning to kill marines with gas attack. And it can take the enemy down without beeing in centre of the action..
Otherwise, noob me is gorge ^^ I like to surround the enemy with ocs secured with dcs. And I am usually the first one to build a hive and I have taken the enemy base down mostly being gorge... Just fil the area with offenses and heal them and build dcs...
i usally go fade sometimes lerk.
gorge is my 2nd favorite, for that id get carapace, celerity, and cloaking <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo-->
