Registrations have been disabled. These forums now serve as an archive of a community, once great, now a monument.
Thanks everyone for all the fun over the years!

The station halls are quiet. Echos of epic TSA and Kharaa battles fade away. There's nothing here anymore except awesome memories.
Thanks everyone for all the fun over the years!

So I might be taking these forums down and just replace them with a link to Archive.org for easy reading!

Announcements / Server may not be up for long
« on: June 11, 2014, 01:12:01 PM »
I might be taking the server down, as it doesn't get much use, and I ended up becoming a regular over at TGNS (tacticalgamer).
The site however, will stay up this time.

Getting hard to find any games most nights, good or otherwise. Most of the time servers just end up super stacked.

Rules / Re: Official Server Rules
« on: March 03, 2014, 12:48:11 AM »
The old rules from NS1 for reference. I'll be heavily cutting up the first post.
1. Spawncamping is not allowed.
This server promotes a team environment that is competitive and also enjoyable. We want all players to enjoy the experience, and feel spawncamping detracts from that. Spawncamping includes, but is not limited to:
o Killing players as they spawn for rfk, stat whoring, or any other reason besides an active assault on hive/CC.
o Routinely pressing the hive location/marine spawn for the specific purpose of killing spawning players, otherwise know as a "Drive by".
o Placing mines in an active hive or building hive is not allowed, period.
o If you are pressuring the hive/MS to end the game, do not camp the entrances and kill them as they come out, without moving in. Although you are not IN the spawn area, denying the team any chance of defense while blocking spawn exits will be considered spawncamping without adequate pressure to kill the hive/MS.
2. Don't be a llama.
Commonly known as griefing or llama-ish behavior, playing in a way to degrade the gameplay of those around you. This can be smurfing with the intent to harass, not cooperating, spamming communications, or generally being more of a curse than a help.
3. Purposefully attacking teammates or team structures when friendly fire is on is bannable.
Having Friendly Fire on is a benefit, don't make it a curse. If you accidentally TK a teammate, apologize or signify it is in someway an accident. Knifing/biting friendly targets for XP in Combat, or to destroy or damage in NS will not be tolerated in any way.
4. Do not recycle IP's or F4 during the game. F4 is only acceptable to even out the teams.
Changing teams to even them is permitted (and encouraged) when teams are uneven by two or more players, but do not F4 because you know you will lose. Let the team have the victory, or leave the server and come back later. If the other team is purposely dragging the game out, notify an admin. Recycling base to end the game can result in a ban. Do not recycle active IP's unless you have successfully relocated elsewhere.
5. No advertising of any kind is allowed on the server.
This includes, but is not limited to, advertising in names, voicechat or text messages. No web links, IRC chatrooms, or other forms of advertising allowed.
6. Please respect all players always. Don't swear other people out.
Keep the language PG-13, and never direct insults toward another player. If things get too frustrating, leave for a bit.
7. NS is about teamwork. Obey your commander, listen to your team. Don't be a llama. Don't be a commander or a gorge if new.
Use common sense. Be an asset to your team, not a liability. If you're new, we're here to help, but ask before trying to command and be sure the team agrees on what chamber to build with each hive. Watch other, more experienced players before evolving for that higher lifeform. Do not be a griefer, spamming communications begging for weaponry, listen to your commander or team, and try to be a teamplayer.
8. No Clan-Stacking. You may be switched to even teams without warning.
Two clan members to a team is usually fine. Keep it 1v1, 2v1, 2v2, 3v2, etc. Try to keep the teams as even as possible skill-wise. if you want to play with a friend or clanmate, we're not against it, just don't make a team so onesided it's not fun for anyone. For regulars, it means joining the team you think needs the most help, for new players, random when you can.
9. Using cheats, skin, game or map exploits & abusing spectator chat is cause for a ban.
Pretty clearly stated, blatant hacking or abuse results in a ban.
10. Do not spam chat or voicecomm. We kick AFK'ers.
Keep the atmosphere relatively clear of useless chatter, or you may be gagged, muted, kicked or banned. Want to discuss girls, or have a chat with a friend, go to IRC. If you have chatbinds for health/ammo/weld, don't spam it. Try to keep it in check. Excessive abuse will result in a kick, or a ban. We have an auto-AFK kicker.
11. To dispute a ban or for abuse claims, please sign up for our forums and post your complaint in the PR Forum.
All PR forum posts are read by our admins, so if you feel wrongly banned, leave a post in the forum. Please indicate why you were banned, what warnings you received, and why you feel it is unjust. Include your SteamID.

Imagine this as a big ugly sand pit. Now with rubber mulch.
But oops, we ran out of mulch, what to do? At least we have a wagon!
"Phase 1"
Progress!
More progress, and we figured out where to put it.
Alas, it got dark, nothing some lights can't fix! We got two more hours out of the day.
More pictures tomorrow!
