how about having an alien regain n% of his hp/ap after a kill? tho it makes no sense in accordance to the backstory (aliens thrive on bacterium that is similar to the gorges' healspray), but it should be workable though. only downside to it would be when fades are anally raping the marines insideout, and with the endless stream of kills comes endless streams of hp/ap, and even so i dont think that's a big problem. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

What he said. Who do you think you are to make such posts ?...
I think we should fix or replace redemption , before replacing regen. Passive regen could happen when you have a full stamina bar , or if you stand still. It would make adren and silence more useful for sure.

Thank you, IceJelly for your post. People should read the reply guidlines and post WHY they posted their opinions rather than a simple yes or a no. Unfortunately, many ideas will not and can not be tested... In the case of unchained chambers, Ryo got lucky.
No we should NOT be focusing on buffing redempt or cara, right now the problem is regen. If you would have read my initial post, you would have read the reason why the DMS structure is fixed. Regeneration is just a too powerful ability. It needs to be nerfed, BUT given to the aliens as a given ability.
I like the suggestion of the full energy bar BEFORE the free regen kicks in idea. The only problem is if you are a fade and want regen WITH metabolize... That is why I suggested the "No moving the A,S,D,W keys" idea. That way, fades with metabolize could use it, yet it wouldn't be as powerful as the current beta4a regen.
IMO, Regen should only heal HEALTH and not ARMOR. The rate of healing shoudl be increased a bit also. This would still allow the aliens to heal, but when out of armor they would need the hive/gorge/dcs to heal their armor. Similar to how marines can get medpacks but cant easily repair their armor.
Unchaining the chambers is a bad idea. There is a plugin that unchains the chambers, and we tried it extensively. Here is what happened after everyone got used to it: Aliens drop sensory everywhere. They then drop 3 dcs. Marines HAVE to get mt almost immediately, and they still get slaughtered everytime they walk into a room unless the comm scans for them. Fades come a little later, but it doesnt matter, the marines get owned because the whole map is under a veil of cloaking, yet the aliens still have dc upgrades. Just imagine the game how we play it now, but 3-4 minutes into the game all the aliens are cloaked the whole time for free, and still get their d or m upgrade of choice.
The game totally changes, it goes from marines vs aliens to marines getting slaughtered everytime they get out of range of the obs.

So natural-regen wouldn´t replace the gorge heal or DCs completely. A skulk with carapace can absorb 10 (am I right?)

I would suggest to test this for future versions, cause it´s really an interesting idea.
* As addition: natural-regen will initiate only when you are longer than 4 seconds not attacked (that are all conditions)
so if i am a skulk, i kill a lmg and have 10 health left... i can stay still AND take down a rt while im healing? or does regen only work when u are like TOTALLY still (i.e. cant move the mouse around <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

notice that aliens' chamber count is currently limited by amount of res available. so more RTs = more Res, more RTs = less early chambers, more early chambers = less RTs = Less res for later ingame = Marine domination of nodes = no such thing as a "veil of cloaking". Obs ping = Dead SC. A "veil of cloaking" is a luxury, not a must. With res **** ever-so apparent, "uber aliens" are less common too. If the team wastes all their res on early chambers, they would miss out on Res Towers, and would probably run into res-crisis soon into the game, coupled with a lack of fades to control the mid-game, often spells imminent doom for the aliens. Similarly, if the alien team uses their res on RTs, they would not have enough res to drop chambers, much less to say "spam SCs around the map" to achieve a "veil of cloaking" effect. Please do your homework before putting down an idea. Plainly saying "OMJOMJOMJ TEH UNCHENGIN OF CHAMBARS = OVERPOWA ALINES LOLOL!!!111one MARIEN = PWNE WIF TEH UNCHAIN CHAMBARZZZZ ROFLMAO!!" is not going to sound very believable. Arrange your thoughts and ideas and elaborate on them clearly being civilised people like ourselves, and not blabble like some mindless crude cavemen with a smidge of intelligence.

My idea for a given regen ONLY kicks in when you don't move the a,s,d or w keys at all. If you are being shot, it kicks in, if you are attacking it kicks in. That's all I wanted to say.
Another idea would be keep regen on at ALL TIMES except this level would be level 2 as to not give aliens too much of a buff.
DCs are supposed to be like other chambers, they give you significant buffs, but are not needed to win every single game. Instead DCs currently are too vital and are instrumental to win any game against equally skilled marines. The problem is because you get the advantage of using a powerful thing (Onos, Hmg, Fade) if you hold it for long periods of time rather than losing it. DCs extend this period of use making aliens rely on it more for their life forms.
I suggest we give the regen ability because that itself SHOULD be a given thing to the aliens since most lifeforms use it and because it wouldn't make DCs as important. I also think that all chambers should heal nearby chambers or aliens around them, but the DC would heal faster than any other chamber.
DCs should be a helpful feature thing such as SCs or MCs, but instead the game has made it REQUIRED 99% of the time to gain a victory.
You know what, if something is not done, the devs should make DC-MC-SC chained in this order as so. It would prevent noobs from SC building first and would definitely win most of the games.
