I remember the first map where you see them and you go down the elevator with the blood, but they DIDN'T turn them into carrier forms, read what I said, I believe I am correct, because otherwise what the shipmaster said would be wrong.
Let me clarify things:
A flood spore gets born, it infects a sentient being, after a while the infected being turns into a carrier form, which spawns more infection forms which then infect more sentient life, etc. That is what the Shipmaster meant when he said, "One flood spore can destroy a species."
Just clarifying.
I like 1st person, because you can't cheat and look around corners, so you have to look at your radar... But it would be good if you could have a "fun mode" in 3rd person.
