Alert to Frontiersmen. Alert to Frontiersmen.
After a journey of over a year, after many course adjustments and the judicious use of fuel, we approach station NatSel. Repeat: prepare to dock with NatSel.
The Kharaa presence has been confirmed onboard. Before we lost our readings, sensors showed multiple forms moving at incredible speed through the ventilation shafts and maintenance tubes. Expect immediate and intense conflict the moment you deploy.
Control the resources. Defend your base. Listen to your commander. Be prepared to face more and more powerful alien foes. Learn their many forms and abilities, and how to counter them. Find the heart of the Kharaa threat, and eradicate it. The battle begins now. Its outcome rests in your hands.
Luck and victory to us all.

Thanks to Frank Nuccio of the Cyber Athlete League, Natural Selection will now be played competitively in the CAL. The exact details aren't known yet, but they seem to be working to get it supported ASAP. Check the site for more details.
In order to help the NS community make a smooth transition to fun and social play, the NS team is releasing the comprehensive manual for NS. The manual details all the gameplay mechanics in NS, and was a huge undertaking.
Our staff writer, Jeff Paris, has been working on this for quite some time. NS community member and playtester Mark "Fam" James did all the layout and design work, and brought it together into a beautiful package in record time.
Astute fans will notice that the manual finally reveals the name of the alien race. You better get started, it might take you awhile...

The trailer is 2:19 in length and requires DIVX 5.0.2. Feel free to mirror this trailer in any way you see fit. Please send us a link to your download page when you do so, so we can update our links and send you more users!
Natural Selection has been a large project, larger then the team had ever anticipated. We appreciated your patience while we created it, and now we would like to thank our fans for sticking by us while we finish up. Please enjoy this cinematic trailer as a special treat from the team.
This Halloween, prepare for a completely new game experience...
Thanks to VALVe, Natural Selection now has their anti-cheat measures built in. This means that from day one, Natural Selection will be largely cheat-free. As new cheats are discovered, NS will update automatically to prevent these cheats. Many thanks to VALVe, without whom none of this would be possible.
In other news, NS is on the verge of going "gold". Normally this term is reserved for software that gets printed on media, but the term works here as well. The team hopes to have everything finished up within a week or so. At that point, the release date will be announced, the manual will be released, and a trailer movie will also be available for download. The file mirrors will be lined up, then the countdown will begin...
