Meh, I may be wrong, but I think they called it RC1 once it became feature complete.
Either way, we all want more screenies. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

It's Release Candidate #1. That's pretty self-explanatory. If there's fixes made to RC1 before release, they will then playtest that new version as Release Candidate #2. So on and so forth, until they fix everything necessary for a final release which will probably be just Natural Selection [v1.0].
PseudoKnight let me be the first to welcome you to the forums!!! unfornatly there is no standard for how devloping mod/game is status is titled.. i.e. rc1, beta 1, alpha 1, 1.2a, and so forth. I would say that the dev team are using a logical titles, i mean release canidate 1 says it all. <!--emo&:0--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'><!--endemo-->
i am not 100% sure but it means RC1 internal releasecandidat 2 or 3, becaus the rc1 is the first version, or maybe they were talking about features that will come up in the next version
Thanks for the welcome, Jack-O. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
I'm just another potential NSer in cautious anticipation. I have no doubt I will get some enjoyment out of this game, but I have some high hopes that it will immerse, scare, and delight.
dekker, rc1 is feature complete, now they are working out the bugs and balancing the game play. When thw dev team feels that ns is what they intended on creating i'm sure that is when we will see ns version 1.0 (or sumthing like that) so i can <!--emo&:asrifle:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':asrifle:'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:tiny:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':tiny:'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:bob:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bob.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bob:'><!--endemo--> in a row
I believe the level 3 was supposed to be in by this RC, btw whatever replaced the welding and egg gestation progress bars (something as elegant as the construction progress indicator I hope)
ohh boy hicks i wonder when ppl will stop asking when will it be done....? i'm guessin never anyone wanna bet? anyway i'm sure the proper answer to your question is "when it's done..." (STC)
yeah, mod devs usually hate 'release dates'. they never want to say something will be released, until its likea day or two away from completion, then tehres a last minute bug. i think theres osme kinda formula that could explain it...

Hey flay get us a screenie of a bob doing xenocide!(preferably splattering a dozen marines on the walls)

{edit}
I know you all just playtested, because your IRC names gave it away. Can we see the lev 3 model?

/me dives at the devs screaming for the new shots
RC2 would be Release Candidate 2. that would mean that they would have had to do some serious revisions to gameplay, etc.
I wanna see some screenies of the latest playest as well, whatever they're calling it.
Either way, we all want more screenies. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
