Run a test server and invite a few participants. I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't mind helping test things further.

Also, fuck the haters. You've done a lot of hard work to get it to this state, and I can't wait to see it finished.

we all appreciate the work you've put in abby, and the update is really nice with the new sprites and all

but with every improvement there will be flaws:
like marines not being able to shoot for shit
...
thats basically it

Sounds cool! I'm feeling the chills of the speed upgrade to xeno's. Thought they were too fast before, and now I'm contemplating what faster looks like haha. Still Love the update, cant wait.

When you think about it, it's not that much of a change actually.

The only thing I have a tiny issue with, is making it SUPER-easy to communicate with humans for Preds. I've had a LOT of fun RPing with humans using motions (such as tossing a dagger to the feet of a human, and miming out that we are going to fight).

Maybe in the end, we can work a system where they get Sol Common after a specific amount of in-game time, or maybe if they record/observe the humans for a bit.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

Keep the Translator, but learning Language through /actual/ work ICly is all my love.

Get Rewarded through working for it!

It's your fault for choosing a xur as your starter marine.
