imageHow does Gorgeous Work? - Natural Selection 2

These pretty looking tubes may be researched by Alien Commanders for 30pres, with one Hive. Once researched, Gorges must build both an entrance and an exit to create a connection. Each tunnel entrance/exit costs 10pres.

    The plural of Onos should be "Onoi". It would only be "Onii" if the singular were "Onius", and it would be "Oni" if the singular were "Onus". It's Greek, not Latin.

    What if your in a tunnel and both ends are destroyed? (you die?) Or one end(you have to run back? or pop up back at the start?)

    Pretty sure it's Oni*, but I'm too excited to care. Can't wait to see the burst/time DPS graphs for miniguns vs railguns.

    I presume we also get Mini/Rail Exosuits, and Dual Railguns as well?

    If there were Dual Railgun's it would have upsides and downsides. Upsides will be you will be able to instantly kill an Onos if both charges are at max. Which would be OP.

    Downsides are that if you supposedly miss both shots, you are very vulnerable, and that fist may save your life in more times than one!

    It's best to keep it to one Railgun just so nobody gets cheated of the classes that cost high res!

    So in my opinion this would be more like an ARC but does damage to both buildings and aliens!

    From what i recall Onos are named after the phrase "Oh, no" which means they are constructed by english speaking people, speaking english, in an english phrase. It's not latin, so it's doubtful it's a second declension, masculine, latin noun. The plural of Onos should be Onoses. If you're gonna give them a wrong pluralisation at least call them Onopodes, which is just way cooler because it makes them more like octopodes. :p

    How exactly does babbler armor work? I noticed that my babblers would just sort of fall off after awhile, even if I wasn't using the hl2 pheromone thingy.

    Aliens didnt need another way to sneak a gorge into marine bases, now with gorge tunnels it makes it easier. Just played some very frustrating games as marines, Rail gun exo is just awful, and no dual rail gun either. give more mobility to an already agile team, makes sense

    Exactly. I don't get why they are adding MORE mobility to the alien team. Aliens are extremely overpowered and the only thing that marines get is a rail gun which is hard to hit compared to all that aliens get.

    Railgun exo is amazing, don't know what game you've been playing. Moments like in the trailer where you're getting a kill every shot for 5 shots in a row were happening basically from the second i hopped in.

    It's not exactly MORE mobility at all. Yes, they have more options, but considering it costs not only THIRTY team res, but there's also personal res coming from the Gorge—plus, the tunnel entrances collapse very easily to damage.

    Unless you're complaining about lopsided content, the tunnels have been well balanced (...well, we'll see).

    Rail gun is easy to hit onos and buildings with, but other than that its the only thing that should have been added, Im loving the performance that came with the patch but those new "features" are just awful, I wouldnt say aliens were extremely overpowered before but now I just might. Been with this game before the alpha and now Im questioning it

    Did you look at the change log at all? Changes were made to Exo's, Skulk hitbox, etc.

    Yes I did. they should keep all the performance fixes and backtrack the new addition of tunnels. Those are downright the stupidest things I have ever seen added to this game, I would rather see the lerk get bile bomb back than keep those

    Really? You read it? You don't think the fact that they cost 50 resources (20 p and 30 t) and only have 1400 health is not actually bad for balance? What about all the balance changes that would also make the tunnels less effective, like the nerf to Aliens and buff to Marines?

    (Basically, you haven't actually said WHY you think they're bad. I'm sure you can come up with something compelling as soon as you show proof and proof of experience :P)

    It doesn't work. Can't even find a server to play on since the update. I was so excited, but now I'm just pissed off. Oh well... Looks like this game will go on the backburner until it's fixed... again.

    Also, lurks now have trails for their needles which is really weird. I liked the stealthy aspect they had previously.

    I like the tunnels. I've seen aliens save some Hives with them but I've also seen marine teams ambush through them and egg-lock and kil the Hive before the aliens really noticed what was going on. There is also quite an inflation of Rail-Exos now. It's like marines are suddenly fine with no longer saving up 75 res for dual Exos but settled for the fun Railgun. Definitely shifts the balance nicely. I've only seen marine victories today, though I've been playing on a server with a large player count where aliens got pretty much egg-locked two minutes into the game after dying once. (New spawn system is unfortunately not yet implemented)
