The battlesuit isn't fireproof for balance reasons.

Many would argue that the flamethrower, in fact, do more self damage.

EDIT: I meant to type " 'should' do more self damage," in case that wasn't clear.

The flamethrower is a rather powerful weapon.

It's like anti-Dretch spray.  Kills 'em instantly, and it does a lot of damage to other alien types as well.  It needs self damage for balance.

I'll trade you a yellow battle suit for your soul... ;D

If you light a tank on fire, you get a hot tank... the people inside.. usually get burnt.. Same with the B suit.. its not a cryo/nitrogen space suit..

I also think being able to skin players would be neat.. but I think thats going to be sort of low down on the list of things that get done.. if on there at all..

When you skin something in a game, it means applying new textures to the base model, which means that the object then looks different. It doesn't mean that the aliens take your skin off and wear it. :D

Lol i don't now wich alien should be able to do that. Adv mara and down are too small, and goons don't really have the shape to look like humans. Even if they stand straight. I guess Tyrants could wear the skin on the front, but then you'd have the weird butt sticking out at the back... so much for undercover!!  :D  :D  :D

There is no reason to make it fireproof. Metal container + heat = Oven = roasted humies(best served with ketchup and fries).

My only real gripe is mainly just with the weapons bsuits use: Luci's and flamethrowers, which should have their self damage increased, the first more than the second.

Actually, although metals take far longer to heat up than flesh, they also lose their heat just as slowly. So, in a sense, self-damage should rise very slowly but last for several minutes at least.

But in a game with instantaneously evolving aliens, with perpetually running jetpacks, with humans who build things with a gun-shaped notepad, what does reality matter? This isn't the kind of game where we take reality into consideration. In games like Counter-Strike or Call of Duty, reality matter (usually), but in a sci-fi, alien shoot-em-up game, fun-ness rules over feasibility.

Firstly, fixed your quote and second, you've clearly not spent much time with alien players.

Aliens clearly need a 'swim swim hungry' class to balance things out :D

That would only be feasible if there are superheroes on the Human team, since that is the Dopefish's favorite food  8)

Well humans tend to believe they can run like a speeding bullet or fly(with or without jetpack), so they're atleast wannabe superheroes.

i forgot to log on to post so it was deleted...

so i'll keep it short...

if the stand a lone game goes for an update i have done quick sketches for new models for another level of units (way harder to get) i will soon do them up as proper concepts

Human;
3 new human armour types
shield structures (max 2)
mines (max 5 per team)
2 new weapons
advanced turret
mini bot- you go to the amoury and sell everything, an option wuld come up and buying it with change you unit into a small bot immune to the small bug attacks, low health, has knife and a small plasma gun has option to self destruct and damaging nearby units killing this unit doesn't make it explode

Aliens;
6 new models
new structure allows basic attack unit to evolve into flying creature (must walk into)
mines (max 5 per team)
shield structures (max 2)
advanced acid pod attack thingy

P.S. can i upload pictures anywhere!??

People with no sense of humor should shut up unless they have something constructive to say.

I really can't believe you are being so negative when other people show their sense of humor. If you don't think its funny, and its not about you.. you don't have to start flaming people... just don't say anything..
