not bad idea. lerk snipe will become more powerful once servers are optimized. we will see

Yeah, this is a big issue for me.
You either have loads of sentries that can be taken down by an individual if they are in the right spot.
Or
You require a set of aliens to combine their abilities to take down a single target.
Because it would require 2 aliens (one of them being a specific class, such as a Gorge that can disable the sentry/structure with a bile bomb) it would balance how effectively it could be worked because it requires certain conditions to work.
It is impossible that it would be any other way without spam becoming the defensive option, and i'd rather see this being implemented as an alternative to the current system.
Personally I like the idea of two different types of sentries.
1. Takes longer to setup, is VERY powerful, but can be disabled by a Gorges guide-able Bile Bomb (round corners).
2. Can be dropped quickly upfront with Marines on the attack, but runs out of ammo. Temporary, like the Hydras.

i have been waiting for a way to take down turrets. its suffering from the same problem as infestation before pustules, yet isn't getting the same amount of attention. even though solving this with something simple like a bile bomb disabling turrets temporarily would solve charlie's concern of marine's turtle behavior.
