Anyone know where I can find a list of the hps on all marine structures? Because I sometimes wonder if I should work on a turret for a better view on the factory, or take some hits and try to just knock out the factory.
From what I've read (i.e. the manual which has not been updated since the patches), a turret has about 1000 hp. That's about 14 bites with a skulk. A turret factory is about 3000 hp which is about 40 sb (skulk bites), a considerable number more. However, without a turret factory turrets can't function so I generally try to chew up the turret factory from a position where the turrets can't hit me (or destroy the ones that can and then go after the factory). Once the factory is gone, you can destroy the turrets at your leisure.
I agree, the manual tells you bassically nothing about structures HP and really has no good tips for aliens, it just tells you what they do, not how to do it and how to do it right.... It doesnt even tell you that you get one upgrade chamber per hive or how resources work

wow a structure has that, how many does a marine resource tower have...i was sitting in a vent as lerk and spike shooting it for minutes until it poofed away it took literally for ever
So, are we all agreed that next time someone spits out RTFM at some newb, he gets kicked for assuming that there's something useful in the manual? I know I've had to explain to new players that the manual is totally useless a few times already, and I'm constantly hearing people b1tch out these same new players because they don't know how to play the game that they've never played before. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

I didn't assume anything. I read the manual (yes the whole thing), and I found lots of info in it. Namely those statistics right above this post which are drawn directly from the manual. Now, i dont make any claims regarding the reliability of those stats. And I dont think the navigation is all that difficult:
Main page -> Frontiersman data -> Commander -> Duties -> Structures
Plus you can get to it through the marines page, the upgrades page, the techtree page, the weapons page, practically every page links to every other.
So if someone says read the manual, go read the manual before saying there is no information in the manual.
