Gorge-lifting in vanilla

I want to be able to be evacuated by my flying brethren in all servers, not just modded ones. And make sure it looks awesome too, like the gorge develops a sac around it or something!

There has to be some way for teammates to help the poor little gorges.

    The only problem is that some people would run around picking people up that didn't want to be picked up. Of course, in modded NS servers, you could simply press E to be dropped.

    I think having a way for the Lerk to pick up the Gorge would be a nice addition.

    The solution is to have the gorge hold 'use' to indicate when they are ready to be picked up; nearby lerks will be notified and an icon will be displayed over the gorges head indicating this.

    The lerk's going to need one hell of a chiropractor with that new, extra fat gorge.

    I'd rather keep it as it is. Giving gorge more mobility means that it needs less powerful abilities or more cost (see how effective the lerklift bbombing is). Making gorge work for the good support position makes it double the enjoyable once you've created the opening.

    It should climb piggy back on the lerk, not being picked up.
    This way, it cant use its offensive abilities and is still easy to pick off from a distance.

    Actually, I think you've pointed 2 good things that could be really well implemented in NS2 from that linked-post.
