sorry cant be nice about this but i cant find any intelligent aliens on any public servers i mean im begining to wonder if some of the public crawling aliens are high or just incredibly stupid. they hurl themselves endlessly at jetpacking HMGers without rhyme or reason and with each piling corpse make my chances of killign that now lvl 11 marine slimmer and slimmer. In ns mode words like "1 and a half rt node" or "last hive" elicit no response from the drooling ADHD "uberskulks" i cringe when i hear "our hive is dying" but literaly they dont even turn around to see which one it is. all the time i see completed siege bases with everythign they could need to own our hive set up even a friggign armory without it beign discovered hell half the time they put it up IN the hive becasue the one skulk who spawns while they are doing it is shot, respawns, and goes about his buisness without sayign a word.
so seriously dont give me a server name ive been to and you know is filled with assclowns. im sure its a great server in fact i love that little plugin you have that sends me to marine when i pick alien /sarcastic because... *$!@... you know? =) who the hell am I!? to decide what i want to spend my time and my steamkey doing? /sarcastic off
but anyway please if there is a server full of inteligent people even if they are arrogant and sit around all day in smoking jackets (even the skulks) talking about the economical opportunities of the pacific rim and calling eachother old bean PLEASE tell me where it is. thanks
*how deep alien stratigy is ingrained in my dome*
im playing bloodrayne and the part in luisiana where you have to kill the bug nests
*my friend* kill that hive!
*me* (my left cheek starts twinging) keh... kill... the hive? neh... no... neh. no. the hive must be protected... ! whos trying to kill the hive?! omg siege base onos hit movment chamber now! gorges BB teh PG!
*my friend*WTH
*my friend*ok 15 minutes of sunlight lets go. down the stairs
*me* *hisses and gnaws on fishheads*

In my experience, all the I AM clan servers, especially the gorge's hideout have some really smart people, and more of a concept of teamwork than most, and yes, there are plenty of n00bs to offset this, but there's a whole bunch of people who know what they're doing. NSArmslab is good too, and theres sometimes a great game going on guns4back2school, all are low ping, and usually have larger matches (very few 6v6).
I'm not going to recomend UK servers for instance if you in the US.
Voogru(US) & Brys (UK)
I generaly find are the best

I remember, back in the day it took some server searching to find that perfect server where I fit in, and then after finding the server, I never left. I even had admin after a while because I played there so much. Then the server op shut it down (specific server I am referring to is the Condomless Brothel back in 1.04 days). So after a break from NS from versions 2.0-3.0b4, I joined back up in 3.0b5, hated it at first, but convinced the people that use to play with me back in the 1.04 days to play again, and we got back into it.
Now I run my own server, and I tend to think we are an above average public server. If you get a good ping to the Mr|Server(FF), check it out, best times are anywhere from 4:00pm-2:00am EST. This will probably change as the summer comes around to something like 12:00am-12:00am EST...server plugs are great <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Other than that, ya, the top servers like nsarmslab attract a lot of people, but I find 32 man CO servers, and 24 man classic NS servers are WAY TOO BIG. We always ran 16 players max, but just bumped up to 18 max. I wouldn't go much higher than this. I find 14-18 is the best number for a good game.
Just search for that one server you like! Don't give up, there are still good team-oriented, fun, non-noob servers out there! You just have to find them!
