having a gun in your hand isn't only eye-candy. it's an usefeul indicator of what you can do. As it can be dangerous to press fire and not remembering you have a missele launcher and not a shotgun...

anyway, i never know what alien i am :)
of course i'm a new player, and i just passed my eyes on the pdf manual. but i'm playing a lot, seeing a lot of other players do especifics things with specifics kinds of alien, and i never know what the specimens i am at the moment even is.

even after reading the manual i can't associate which one is the basilisk and the marauders when i see players passing by.

showing the paws walking/attacking or the heading moving in Z axis for an bite attack would be perfect for new players to associate what they are and the capabilities of their teamates.

i can help out with models and textures (can contribute with code too, but you'd rather not :)

when you see a rifle you know it shoots bullets, right?
so whats so hard about remembering that marauder icon on your down right corner of the screen means jumping and slashing?

I agree you should be able to see your claws and pinchers and stuff on your screen. That would be cool. But I don't play with my gun showing, so I wouldn't even see it and it might block too much of the screen.
Need help? Ask intelligently. Please share solutions you find.

Thats what we need, helpful players, not more powerful admins.
