KDR is measured logarithmically.

Bonus points if there's another marine in the room building the power during the entire encounter.
Double bonus points if there's another marine in the room building a RT before the power during the entire encounter. -
...Half of the skulks on your team are just sitting above doorways playing ninja instead of moving around the map
...a vanilla marine phases away from a fight just so they won't die -
Maybe vortex could do something silly like cut a marine's remaining clip in half by teleporting the bullets away
...or something -

You forgot "clutters the room with annoying extra flame textures which may or may not cause some stuttering".
Wait why is this on the front page? -
All I have to say is that if stab is biomass 8 and practically useless, why not just replace it with acid rocket? It's not like marines are going to be winning at that point in most games.

I recently commanded some rookie marines on docking and I was able to set up two batteries right next to each other on the north side of stability/the southeast side of generator. It basically kept the rookie aliens busy all game … -

Sometimes I'll tell players multiple times that c opens their map and they still don't listen or do it, so I literally have to give them a waypoint so they know where to go.
Or I'll ask a player specifically to run back… -
The only time I absolutely know a team is getting stacked is when I see the exact same handful of players on the same team 2-3 games in a row (after that I just switch servers and try to find a game that isn't JPs vs no-leap skulks or Fades vs a0 ma…

I feel like rankings only work if there is some sort of even matchmaking system, so why they implemented this first is odd.
These numbers just make it easier for people to mass stack teams since they have another number that somewhat<… -

The last major Broodwar balance patch was in 2001 with a bunch of bugfixes and small changes scattered over the years. The rest of the balance came from people making better maps and developing newer and more refined builds.

It sucks when it happens as a fade

This game doesn't retain new players because new players join and realize that they need to have a ton of knowledge in advance (alien movement, structure functions, map awareness etc.) in order to play this game competently in first person and as co…

Mine dominoes would actually be a great mod:
Try to kill the skulk/fade/lerk in 5 mines or less
The last level would be an onos -
One thing you can do as a vet is stay as a rifle/pistol/welder marine for the entire round and buy weapons for the newbies that need them.
As alien just go gorge. -
Either xeno needs falloff damage, a reduced radius, or a change to light damage (worst case). The only problem with it is the range of the explosion which seems really huge.

Let gorges ride lerks.

Ummm, how did 2 posts I typed yesterday when the thread was 2 pages somehow end up being repeated 5 times on the 3rd page?
-
Just wait 6 minutes and spend 105 tres + 15 pres per marine and rush jetpacks to deal with a couple of ~15 res gorge tunnels put down in the first minute guys. Marines don't need to worry about having good armor and weapon ups when higher lifeforms…

Here's a few more locations, minus the landing pad one:

You can get up to the tunnel in landing pad by jumping on top of the the pathway cover via crates then jumping on to the window (I usually equip the axe for a minor boost).

To the kharaa, marines are the aliens. -

Because the game is asymmetrical. Marines may be able to pick their weapons back up if they run back to them but remember aliens are mobile enough that they can usually (not always) pick their fights and run if they encounter prob… -

Perhaps giving skulks more maneuverability when bunnyhopping would help (couldn't they do tight figure eights in NS1 without losing speed?). Perhaps also making strafe jump a little more skill/timing based so there's a difference … -

You can stab while shadowstepping, so I like to use it in the air when I blink up and SS downwards.
