<div class="IPBDescription">that didn't get to play this game</div> Map: ns_eclipse
We start in Eclipse Command, I gorg up and head for Power Sub Junction. The skulks are doing a pretty good job of harassing the marines on the left side and parasiting them, so the marines opt to go for Maintainence hive. I cap PSJ and move into Computer Core, cap it. I hear the marines are expanding to South Loop and that there is a Phase Gate at MA, so I go for Station Access then start saving for the hive, but Marines are getting base up outside it.
The skulks don't manage to drive off the Marines from Computer Core, and there's a siege up. However, Marine Base is all but defenseless. All the skulks except one (aLFa) starts attacking Computor Core as a diversion, while I an aLFa head into Marine Base. No turrets there, so I get two OC's up at the Phase Gate. Once they are up the COM spots us, and some marines appear through the Phase Gate. We manage to kill them and the Phase Gate off before too much reinforcement arrives though, and make short work of the Marine Base.
COM has set up new CC and IP's outside Computer Core however, and now they are moving out towards Eclipse Hive. We manage to defend it with skulks, but they are keeping the pressure on. I sneak off to Maintainence Access as a skulk and jump down below the hive and hide. Once again all the Skulks Start attacking Comp Core as a diversion, while I get 8 DC's up under the hive location. When the DC's are up I start the hive, get up to ground level, and start building OC's inside the Marine Outpost. At this time I am calling for skulks to help me and some arrive, but not many, most are dead from attacking Comp Core.
My backup gets killed pretty quickly and it gets a *bit* hectic fending off the Marines attempt to save their outpost (get about 5 healspray kills here ) But the hive is up almost up!! The outpost is killed, but marines are now setting up siege at South Loop. The skulks fail to kill it, but the hive goes up and a few manage to go fade before the hive dies from the siege.
We're now getting over-confident and try to attack the Marine Base at Comp Core. The result, all Fades die. Insert an hour of grisly fighting. We manage to get Maintenance hive up *again*. This time we have enough resources to let almost everyone go fade, however, while most of our team is gestating the Marines once again take Maintenance back. This time they fortify it well and get siege up, re-take will be hard. However, a few skulks have been hitting the Marine Comp Core base regularily and it is looking weak.
Fades gather up and hit Comp Core base with gorg backup, and we manage to take it. Once again a hive goes up. Fades haven't been very effective so far since we've never had time to get more then one movement chamber up, but this time we get a breather and people finally get their adrenaline upgrade. Marines have once again relocated, and Maintanence is their new base. After some fighting we manage to get two heal stations up outside siege range and start hitting it.
We spend a good 45 minutes or so attacking the marines, they have HMG's and GL's, so we're not making much progress. One jetbo gets through and almost manages to weld one of our hives, but we get him just in time. After that it seems like the back of the marines are broken. We have them locked down and we have enough resources to re-Fade immediatly when we die, Marines just don't have enough resources to keep themself equipped all the time (but lvl3 LMG's still hurt). It's just a matter of time though, and soon enough the Fades manage to move in in destroy the last Marine outpost.
Best game I ever played, even the Marines were happy afterwards (most of the Aliens were more then happy going "OMG OMG OMG I DON'T BELIEVE IT"
Bestest game so far.

uhh.. nice waste of resources there, buddy
I don't think it was a waste of resources... from what I understand the marines already had control of Maintenance. Would you spend 80 resources on a hive building BEHIND enemy lines? If you had 8 defense chambers within healing range, yes, you would.
But anyway, sounds like it was a fun game....

Not a waste at all. I didn't even 'build' thee DC's by the way, just dropped them and sat there waiting for them to 'grow', didn't want to make any noise. And as D'Artagnan pointed out, it would be ill advised to just start the hive. Besides, as usual when aliens are stuck with one hive, the only thing we had plenty of was resources. Without the DC's my OC's that I planted later to destroy the Marine structures (and keep ME alive while I was frantically jumping around healspraying marines) while the hive was going up wouldn't have lasted very long, neither would the hive.

I pity people NS-players in general for missing out on such a great game. Reading this forum gives the impression that most people mainly have bad experiences with NS, everything from n00b COM's to lamers just trying to ruin it for everyone, I wanted to share a *good* experience.
I pity you specifically if you are not capable of experiencing happiness or satisfaction through other peoples good times. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anyway, my micro-wave pizza is waiting for me. Have fun playing, guys/gurls <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ps. Regen for *one* target stops at 3 DC's I think, but if you have several (like 8 OC's, a hive, a jumping gorg and a couple of skulks, more help <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Sure kept me alive <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
"since we've never had time to get more then one movement chamber up"
Well, maybe if you didn't put up all 8 D chambers up, you would have had the time AND money to build those Movement Chambers, ever think of that ?
I do, coz it comes in useful if your assualting a marine base, and there aint no gorges nearby, and no DC..... And so do most of the people i play online with....
And yea, it is on pubs
Also, if you get regen, as a skulk, and you're in a marine base, they take 9 easy shots on you, and you're dead, now if you have regen, you can get hit, jump around kill him, and another guy, continue taking out structures, THEN go to your nearest hive/gorge/D Chamber and get healed to get back.
Regen is usless for skulks.

Now, happy as I am that you are reading my post, don't feel obliged to "proof read it" for tctical errors. As I said, we didn't have *time* to get the move chambers up. When the hive went up I had 58 res, and since the hive was being sieged I wanted to go fade ASAP, so I dropped one chamber and Fades. Was yelling for someone else to go gorg since I was fading, and get the moves up if he could, but no-one did.
Still.
We won.
We had lots of fun.
You guys can sit here all day trying to come up with things that I did 'wrong', still doesn't change the fact that we won, and we had lots of fun. Judging by your negative attitude, I would guess I have had more fun then you, so I win (again!). <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I don't think I need your advise, I'm happy with winning and having fun. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
If you don't want my suggestions that's fine, i said i wasn't gonna tell you <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
