<div class="IPBDescription">Lets hear ideas for and about Onos (Attack)</div>Onos, oh noes!!
Best thing to be released in a game, an angry mutant elephant monster in out of space. I really love this thing, and it has certainly given the Kharaa a 'game ender'!

The first thing I noticed when I evolved to ^n0s was how slow it is. Personally, I hope there will be a celerity upgrade with the shift hive.
Attacks aren't complicated. Smash objects, gore marines and stomp when you want something.. but, heres my suggestion for Onos;

A minimal damage with the stomp, if effected by it.
A special finishing move for Onos wherin, If a Marine is sufficiently low in health while recovering from a "stomp stun" (getting up) and a 'smash' is used the marine goes flying against a wall were he smashes to bits and the frag would read: "Onos has killed Marine with Natural Causes"

So you'd be mixing attacks, like gore still effects structres, so should smash have an impact and stomp do damage..

the only thing i would love is eating a marine, it was so awesome saving a marine out of the onos belly before he was digested.
Or eat a marine as onos...*nomnomnomnom*

_Necro_

Yeah. If it is really a problem of the one-hit-kill with digest, (I could understand this, but why is the shotgun also a one-hit-killer? It should be good for fades but not frustrating for skulk-players.) than make it so, that the onos can only eat a marine lying on the ground.

Shotgun doesn't one hit kill anything, not even an Egg, let alone of a Skulk. You still need 2 solid hits, and with hit detection and the Speed of Skulks, throw in the 1 second delay on the shotgun, then nothing is wrong with the Shotgun.

And you found an Onos slow?

IF anything, I found them actually amazingly fast, especially if you use their rush attack, they run faster than Skulks!

rush attack?

Wrong. An EGG is 1 hitable with the SG at WP2. And ofcourse it also kills skulks and lerks in 1 hit with WP 0 (if all 10 shells hit).

Mkilbride

If all 10 pellets hit, the Skulk deserves to die.

It's much easier for a Skulk to kill a Marine than a Marine to kill a skulk. You have to factor that in.

Onos shud have a Dash move where he goes real fast and ###### rainbows!
