<div class="IPBDescription">Whats up with it?</div>Okay, a couple of questions:
As mentioned before, when an alien evolves you can see it from an egg-view: does this go for every type of alien? I mean if a fade evolves into an onos, will it have a bigger or smaller eggthing than a skulk would? And on another question- is there a cool breaking out of an egg animation when evolution is comple? Because I can see an onos just tearing out of an egg, but if it is the same size as everyone else than wouldn't that make it a little silly, a huge onos just emergin from a tiny egg...

he didn't neccesarily say that the alien evolving goes to third person only that an evolving alien can be seen as an egg. But anyways, are there transitional animations?
ughh I better not push my luck <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
Once the gestating is complete, the egg disappears and the alien appears in its place.
Sure, its fairly crude, but it works and if it weren't for things like this, what would be have left to do for v2.0? <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
At this moment, anything that would hold up the release of NS deserves to be dragged behind an Indy car, in a plastic paper bag with a rabid weasel, whose teeth have been replaced with lye injectors, and who'se fur is inhabited by thousands upon thousands of poisonious spiders.
Then, this painful monstrosity should be thrown out in front of the running of the bulls.
We can always dust the ideas off after v1.0 comes out...

On topic: An egg has 100 health and 150 armor, IIRC. It's fairly easy to kill.

I think you would notice if a huge level 5 would suddenly pop up from nowhere <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> .
Here, let me explain (marines like eggs for breakfast, dont they?):
I would like to see bigger eggs for bigger aliens but I think the hatching animations might be a bit too much.

Simple: you can't evolve to an Onos in a vent. You can only evolve in places where you have enough room for your 'end creature' to come out in.
