More than zero and maybe.
- How many types of turrets will we see and how do they work?
Yes
- Airplanes?
Thundercats!
- How does the respawning work?
You'll have to dig your way out of the grave.
- Can the aliens fly?
if you would live long enough to watch them, you'd see.
- What will the aliens look like? Like in Starship Troopers?
No even worse, they'll look like Teletubbies.
- LAME INVASION RIPOFF!!!! (or not?)
Wasn't Invasion a lame ripoff from original DA ?
- When do the defenders win?
I'd be a bad coder if you had a chance to win.
- What types of maps will we see?
Maps you die fast, maps you die slow AND !!! maps you die instantly.
- Release date?
Maybe
- Can I be beta tester?
That's the same thing I asked god about 2000 years ago when he built man from a puddle of mud. Man who could knew that beta testing the real world sucks so hard.
- Need any modelers or mappers?
*runs away*

- 6 for humans, unsure for medics yet, might replace the pilot though.
- I believe 3, you just go press use and you mow down.
- No, maybe for effects, not even sure for those even.
- You wait certain seconds, server decided, and then you respawn.
- No they cant fly.
- We have concepts, expect pics soon.
- By far not a ripoff...
- Time, objectives, both? Anyhow the mapper wants.
- Old and new types of maps.
- Before August, even if not 100% complete.
- Not yet.
- Mappers yes, no modellers for now.

What was the point of the smart-arse comments?
For fun.

well we do need modellers for vehicles, weapons, alien classes and so forth.

That stuff takes time to model, animate and skin; so we need to of started it yesterday.

Hey FluXs if you now make a nice logical ordered list of these questions and answer em, then you got your FAQ. I just posted teh questions that came in my head. Oh and make it look like an interview. For example on Abs' answer about the turrets, how do they get placed in the map?

The turrets come in two flavours...

One is added by the mapper; these are the ones seen in the #da chat room, and the other type of turret is the machine gun created by the mechanic.
