Obviously too many TF2 players around here :). NS has just a great and really different gameplay. I dont think things like hats etc. would fit into the gamestyle nor that they are necessary at all.

Yes right. TF2 isnt serious about itself at all, or what do u think about the nadejumps, rocketjumps etc. and especially the taunts? Also the comic look deepens that impression;)
Did you play TFC? Its pretty the same game but with other graphics. Hats wouldnt fit into TFC while they are a pretty nice extension to tf2.
Imho i enjoyed TF2 most before its f2p and hat-selling business concept, but thats another thing. On the other side this concept keeps the game alive and makes ongoing free updates possible.
An alternate skin or maybe an alternate sound file for their bite... that sound is more distinctive than the skin anyhow because the goal of a skulk is to remain unseen.

Regarding hats, I'd love for certain attire (and possibly other paraphernalia) to be available during the holiday seasons. And give server owners the ability to opt-out for scrims or just for a more serious environment.
All sillyness aside, i would like to see a special alien skin (or maybe just change the color of their eyes and shading on carapace?), maybe just for beta players?
This way Spec. Edition owners could have black armor and an alien skin to show off their 1337 skillz, while everyone else gets deluxe armor and alien skins.

Instead of having the Devs divert their time towards skins and delay release, i would rather suggest to let this be done via SteamWorkshop. Is Ns2 gonna be on SteamWorkshop?

You can also go to the Steam Workshop on the community page inside Steam itself... Also that link was actually the direct link to NS2's Workshop :P

I suggest a skulk with one more freckle for deluxe edition. Albino skulk is for special edition only!
You shoot good enough as is, this will just make you to good.
A skulk with a HAT ^^<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Now thats an idea I like! Maybe a redneck baseball cap, or a top hat? :D
Doesn't albino mean it would be white? Wouldn't that make you an easier target?
But you think they fit TF2?
Well...yeah? TF2 isn't exactly serious and is proven by the "meet" videos+taunts and everything else.
I wouldn't be against an Alien skin counterpart for NS2...something fitting of the universe, obviously, but it would be nice for alien players.

Even better than a hat, a CHUCK NORRIS SKIN! for the gorge obviously ;)
+1
Or a fez, fezes are cool.
And of course the gorge with a xmas hat and maybe a beard (brian's beard in white)! It's a must have :p

I can envision the announcement:
Natural Selection 2 - Now with SpecOps Gorge for beta pre-orders only.

Give it to the black armor owners PLZ ^^
I want my gorge with bunny ears. :P
leave the hats to the modders : P

THis
Yeah all the beta players looking scared up for their lifeforms would be awesome.
This is all silly though, there is so many other things to change before this.
