<div class="IPBDescription">We got black marine... but aliens are always neglected</div>It's not that I'm ungrateful for the black marine skin but I do feel that aliens are always neglected in a way.

I'm sure it's been discussed already but I would like to present it again to the community.

It would be nice do add alternative skin for skulk, as well as we got black marine because aliens are looked
down upon from the start :). I would like some opinions of other community members on this.

Also I will manage without 2nd skulk skin but again it would be pitty that you can only see marines who
preordered alpha and not the aliens.

    if they have time, a 2nd skulk skin, or gorge ^_^, would be very nice for pre-orderers'

    the dwarves in level 4 look too much like the elves in level 6...

    we could just render them a different color, it would be cheap and wouldn't take more than a day or two.



    i would like a blood red skulk.

    +1

    Would be like a Skulk version that has feasted on too much human flesh. Kinda like when a human eats too many carrots and turns orange.

    i agree with this topic, the people who paid extra are, atm, seeing little in return. if they payed for a non-testable alpha and for a beta that may be the same, just to get black armor..... maybe just darken the skulk and give it red eyes or something... dont make it stand out too much tho cuz then id have payed more money to get killed lol

    I have to admit I somehow like the proposal of sparkling eyes - now add a color hue to it so instead of white reflections you see yellow, green (both cats) or red (dunno?) sparkles at random.
    but it should be a "did you see that or was that my imagination?" effect, like the eastereggs back then.
    not to an extend that you run around with your flashlights on permenently.
    could be another upgrade from sensory chambers, too: random reflexes, created by the bacteria in the air...

    I never said that alpha preorders got little in return. I've been playing NS with pauses and everything for over 6 years now and it was the first game (even if it's a mod) that I've played online, even on my old 56k modem, it was just that good.

    I've never been too much active in the community, but I've kept an eye on the developings and such. To pay preorder for NS2 I was more then glad because in the end it will be more then good. It may not have outstanding graphics, I don't care. I only care for gameplay and that's what NS always had in plenty. More diverse yet balanced FPS didn't hit the market in years with sci-fi theme. There were battlefield type\style games but none of those were even to the ankle height of NS1, let alone something higher.

    I've only remarked that aliens did through the years got left behind a sealed vent shaft (see what I did there) and marines always had "advantage" in a way. Seeing the black marine skin I've come to wonder why would devs give a chance for only marines to be seen as preorderes because there's a plenty of people like me who perfer aliens more (personaly gorge or onos because I'm more of support type guy) but why not give a chance for alien side to be seen as preorderer too. I'm not requesting this I just feel that it would be fair towards aliens.

    Also sorry for my bad grammar, tried as best as I could :). English is not my first language.
    I hope some of the devs keep an eye on this because I want more alien support in NS2 :)

    I am sure after beta hits there will be aliens off all colors available. If amx can make an onos pink, i'm sure everyone will have black armor within a year of it's release weather it be by mod or plugin so even if they don't put it in the game,someone will . it will happen.

    "at least from what i've seen"

    you cant see them, since they are black and in dark areas (power node out) the marines are practically blind from seeing them.
