differant idea for a flying alien

[snb]

im thinking of doing a differantthing for a fly alien here in stead of flying like a bird i think it might be easier to swim through the air like a jelly fish

This sounds rather similar to Redsky's "open the sky" project: http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=5858.0

[benmachine]

interesting picture and interesting idea, although both are sideways

Sounds like you'd be a bit of a target though - how would you accumulate any decent speed?
Plus, I don't want to be repeatedly hammering the gloop key. One of the appealing things about bird flight is that it's demanding on the mind, not the fingers.

Looks like a Metroid.

[snb]

you wouldn't be repeadiatly taping the key it would go automaticly and i guess if you would wantto avoid bieng shot just fall

Looks like a Metroid.

hmmm...

Life drain attack?

[Sakura-chan/Tsunade]

hmm.............

Grab sticky attack where it(the alien) cath the target like a bassilk but use wallwalk to hold it(not let go) and switch off wallwalk to let go. like  atraper but the option to free the target or not.

rather like a bassilk but a bassilk can let go by moving away this technique does not let go until presses a button eg wallwalk button?

Hmm, a Diff-e-rant?

Is that like a mixture between a tyrant and a diff file?

[Sakura-chan/Tsunade]

Btw i mention saying trapper (trapper traps the target on ground.. can't be lifted up) Or instead  of that flying alien can infect the jets (like in trem x) and when on ground can cath(grab) them........Although i would ?? balance?

[Lava Croft]

Looks like a Metroid.

Exactly my thought. Not sure if we want Metroids in Tremulous though...

[Atom Eve]

If we also change the battlesuit model to a Samus model, and the Tyrant into a giant Ridley, then I'm all for it 100%.

So it has a ranged attack? makes sense after all it can fly.

[Sakura-chan/Tsunade]

Btw  zap with extensive range could work too easy....

am have model, kthx

Not to start a flame war, but you have the right OS!

If this flying creature had a ranged attack, then we can imagine how "balanced" the game would be. Imagine beams of acid and/or lightning coming down from above.. Not fun for a hummus. They get fried pretty fast from lightning. Open this link to see my vision of flying ranged attack aliens. [img=http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1443/dsc0353rv4.th.jpg]

Rofl...Your 'tyrant' looks like the froot loops bird

[whitebear]

More like Grogdor!

[megas333]

Well... when somebody said "so its basically a ranged attack which makes sense" this idea came to mind.

But anyways, perhaps this could be a building that moves, based for aliens, that will go in the direction of the human in its sensing range, and fire its lovely attack at them. Or it could be a mod that spawns AI neutral versions of those (Just making a name up here, dont say "blarghisketch! thats not what it should beh cawled!") Flubbers which attack anything they see. They spawn at, say, 30 min or so, in the middle of the map (or wherever the Flubberlord wishes it to be)

I like the way you draw muffins

[Sakura-chan/Tsunade]

Flight physics is important though 

Is the flying >--alien--< acepted?

ive been usong that but i have no idea as to how to texture things.

still if the alien was to fly just simply take away gravties effect on it.

[whitebear]

go type /g_gravity 0 while playing and you find out why that is a bad idea.

[blood2.0]

Here is a new design for an alien i thot of and drawed. When u want to use my picture please say i made it.

[whitebear]

I am going to upload that picture to DeviantArt.com and claim it's mine. Instant 100billion views for sure.
