Kabootles: /* Gameplay */ Made so the deleted plasma rifle linked to pulse rifle

At present, the wiki needs a lot of work.

At the time of this writing, most article writers need to learn about web design ergonomics.

Various contents, including ToDo lists, screenshots, release data files, large text messages, and other shared files are hosted at foreign websites. They should be moved to unvanquished.net, for which sufficient serving functionality should be installed. The priorities for these are based on the ease of installation, for example, the removal (or the moving) of ''web browsing analytics'' is of high priority.

==Best practices==
* '''Do''' spell-check your work before submitting changes.
* '''Do''' write change summaries.
* '''Do''' try to make similar pages visually consistent.
* '''Do not''' link to the same page as you are editing.
* '''Do not''' link to a page that has already been recently linked to.
* '''Do not''' use horizontal rules to delimit list items.
* '''Avoid''' redundancy with the page title in section titles.
* '''Do not''' unnecessarily bold text.
* '''Do not''' use colons in section titles.
* '''Do not''' capitalize the initial of a noun, even if it is something game-related.

The egg is the [[aliens]] spawning structure. If the humans have destroyed all your eggs your team is likely about to lose. Unlike human telenodes,eggs can be built on ceilings, and will also allow for structures to be built around them at any distance from the overmind, much like a human's [[repeater]].

== Egg Tactics ==

* '''Do''' consider moving to the roof in stage 2. Eggs are prime targets, and leaving them on the floor is asking for a human to throw a grenade, and is only recommended if spots on the roof are too vulnerable to other weapons. Build them on ceilings in obstructed corners. If placing an egg on a ceiling is too impractical, placing them on a sloped surface can be a substitute so long as they are protected and not in the direct view of rushing humans.
* '''Do''' build these over boosters, so that spawning aliens will fall onto them and immediately receive poison, as long as you are not compromising on your ability to protect them or the booster.
* '''Don't''' spam eggs around the map. A few in hidden spots around the human base, to shorten the amount of time aliens need to travel after spawning. This also helps regeneration. However, this uses up BP and can be turned against you.
* '''Do''' consider having a "panic egg". A panic egg is an egg placed on the ceiling of a hidden and rarely used part of the map (for example the the lava room on geothermal). This egg can be a fallback if your main base is destroyed.

The basilisk is one of the hardest [[Aliens]] to master but, once one can play it efficiently it can be extremely effective and aggravating to humans.

==General Strategy==

* '''Do''' try to grab humans from behind, especially if he is alone. You'll be able to kill them while they won't be able to hurt you.
* '''Do''' use wall-walk when you are forced to close a distance between you and a human to sustain minimal damage.
* '''Don't''' expect to charge in like the higher alien classes and expect to kill anything. The basilisk is meant to be used much like the dretch, and while it does have increased health it is also much easier to hit. Half of a rifle clip is sufficient to kill either basilisk form.
* '''Do''' keep an eye out for injured teammates, as you're likely going to be used as a temporary booster. If your teammates are all rushing, lurk in a safe place near human base and wait for either chasing humans or hurt aliens. If humans are camping, stay outside their base to heal returning teammates.
* '''Don't''' grab while in line of sight to the grabbed human's weapon. If you happen to, hold shift key and circle around to a angle which they can not shoot you.
* '''Do''' single out humans that are particularly vulnerable, unless you have prefected the Basilisk if is recommend you do not try to attack more than two humans at a time, also note that you will have a hard time sneaking up on a human wearing a helmet.
* '''Do''' use hit and run tactics. If you can't hold onto a human long enough and they start firing at you or their friends come in, run away to heal at your accelerated healing rate. The basilisk won't live long enough to sustain fire.

'''The [[Granger]] is the alien team’s builder class.'''
== Using the Granger ==
After spawning the player will notice some key diferences between the [[Granger]] and its [[Dretch]] counterpart. First, the [[Granger]] moves much slower than the [[Dretch]], the [[Granger's]] secondary attack will activate a weak clawing attack that behaves similarly to a [[Dragoons]]' chomp only drastically weaker, unlike the [[Dretch]] these things make the [[Granger]] nearly useless in combat. The [[Granger's]] primary attack will bring up a list of build-able structures. (For specific structures see the main [[Aliens]] page.) Upon selecting a structure from the menu its outline will apear infront of the [[Granger]] in either green or red. Green means that the structure can be built where it is currently placed, while a red outline means that the surface or placement you are attempting to build on can not accommodate that structure.

==[[Granger]] Tactics==
An efficient and well made base can mean all the difference between victory and defeat. It is a [[Granger's]] job to build up and maintain the [[Alien's]] base. Read about [[Alien]] building structures and formulate effective defenses.
----
Avoid fighting at all costs, if your base comes under siege you should hide and rebuild during a break to avoid [[feeding]].
----
If manning a base that comes under siege it is highly recommended that you use team chat to call for back up, only evolve to defend as a last resort.
----
When the game nears sudden death a [[Granger]] should look over and finalize base defenses

==Take Note==
----
[[Advanced Grangers]] can walkwalk similar to the [[Dretch]]
----
There is no point in being a Granger once sudden death has been reached

Kabootles:

The Alien team is much more versatile than their human nemeses. Aliens require slightly less organization than [[humans]] and their strengths often reside in rapid movement and unpredictable hit and run tactics. Similar to a [[humans]] credits, aliens receive frags or "evo points" to evolve and advance stages.
==[[Alien]] Stage One==
Aliens in their first and most basic stage.

===[[Alien]] Stage One classes ===
[[Dretch]]
----
[[Basilisk]]
----
[[Marauder]]
----
[[Dragoon]]

'''Stage one [[alien]] structures:'''

[[Acid tube]]
----
[[Barricade]]
----
[[Egg]]
----
[[Overmind]]

=== Stage One Tactics ===
It is widley agreed that in stage one vs. stage one, [[aliens]] hold a slight advantage over the [[humans]] do to their absence of [[radar]] and vulnerability to [[Head-biting]]. Therefore it is often advantageous for aliens to try to maximize their [[frags]] , and capitalize on human shortcomings. Do not however underestimate stage one humans, it is always important to attack with caution and premeditation. Never [[rush]] into a cluster of humans without observing their environment and planning an assault, if posible attack from behind and aim for the head.

== Alien Stage Two ==
More that any other stage, stage two most escalates the complexity of both alien building and hunting. Upon reaching stage two aliens receive entities key for survival in the remaining game, many of which manifest in evolved versions of previous species.

=== [[Alien]] stage two classes: ===

'''Stage two [[alien]] structures:'''

[[Trapper]]
----
[[Booster]]

=== [[Alien]] stage two classes: ===
In this stage building is key. Other than the essentials, the [[Booster]] is the considered to be the most valuable alien structure and, from my personal experience the trapper when used properly is very effective and generally underrated by many. In addition, the ability for Advanced Grangers to now be able to crawl and build on walls can lend a huge advantage. Stage two also introduces advanced versions of the alien species other than the [[Dretch]]. Each of these advanced species inherit special abilities that lend themselves to specific situations, it is advised that you read up on advanced versions of the aliens on their respective pages.

== Alien Stage Three ==
The third and final stage of alien evolvement introduces the two most debatably powerful entities.

=== [[Alien]] stage three classes: ===
[[Tyrant]]

'''Stage three [[alien]] structure:'''

[[Hive]]

=== [[Alien]] stage three tactics: ===
While only gaining two total entities, stage three is still a very impacting achievement in alien gameplay. The presence of hives, particularly mounted out of immediate [[Grenade]] range can mean that aliens can feel slightly more comfortable when rushing or engaging humans away from their base. Also [[Tyrants]] (when used properly) can induce mass carnage in the humans ranks. However, [[Tyrants]] can also be devastatingly hindering when their controller inadvertently blocks doorways or structures. When using a [[Tyrant]] a good sense of special awareness is nearly required.

Never [[rush]] into a cluster of humans without observing their environment and planning an assault, if posible attack from behind and aim for the head.

== Alien Stage Two ==
More that any other stage, stage two most escalates the complexity of both alien building and hunting. Upon reaching stage two aliens receive entities key for survival in the remaining game, many of which manifest in evolved versions of previous species.

=== [[Alien]] Stage Two Strategies: ===
In this stage building is key. Other than the essentials, the [[Booster]] is the considered to be the most valuable alien structure and, from my personal experience the trapper when used properly is very effective and generally underrated by many. In addition, the ability for Advanced Grangers to now be able to crawl and build on walls can lend a huge advantage. Stage two also introduces advanced versions of the alien species other than the [[Dretch]]. Each of these advanced species inherit special abilities that lend themselves to specific situations, it is advised that you read up on advanced versions of the aliens on their respective pages.

The third and final stage of alien evolvement introduces the two most debatably powerful entities.

[[Hive]]

=== [[Alien]] Stage Three Strategies: ===
While only gaining two total entities, stage three is still a very impacting achievement in alien gameplay. The presence of hives, particularly mounted out of immediate [[Grenade]] range can mean that aliens can feel slightly more comfortable when rushing or engaging humans away from their base. Also [[Tyrants]] (when used properly) can induce mass carnage in the humans ranks. However, [[Tyrants]] can also be devastatingly hindering when their controller inadvertently blocks doorways or structures. When using a [[Tyrant]] a good sense of special awareness is nearly required.

Kabootles: Shallow overview of the alien team.

The Alien team is much more versatile than their human nemeses. Aliens require slightly less organization than [[humans]] and their strengths often reside in rapid movement and unpredictable hit and run tactics. Similar to a [[humans]] credits, aliens receive frags or "evo points" to evolve and advance stages.

== Stage One Tactics ==
It is widley agreed that in stage one vs. stage one, [[aliens]] hold a slight advantage over the [[humans]] do to their absence of [[radar]] and vulnerability to [[Head-biting]]. Therefor it is often advantageous for aliens to try to maximize their [[frags]] , and capitalize on human shortcomings. Do not however underestimate stage one humans, it is always important to attack with caution and premeditation.
