<div class="IPBDescription">Neat trick I saw on a server</div> It was cool, yet so simple. All that happened was the gorge jumped on top of the skulk and kept on jumping, while the skulk went up the wall. Eventually the gorge got up there.

I cannot believe no one else has thought of this before.

But if you cant go Gorge in a particular vent, then chances are you cant build there either. So the only reason to be up there would be to web it.

Hiding in vents is not just for skulks. Keeping gorges alive is a GOOD thing.
well it was maybe at least 3 weeks ago (never had to use this before) that marines on ns_nothing built a siege in the vent by viaduct (we had 3 hives actually) I spent 30 minutes asking a skulk to boost me like that up into the vent, but i had no luck, lol. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Then marines proceeded to win <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
There are several places where mariens can build in vents, making it useful to boost fades up there. You can boost any other alien race up like that.

Yes, HE has to jump as well. I did this the other time on ns_caged, near ventilation hive(there is a door to a large room with boxes and one resource nozzle), and gave us victory(pretty much), since the marines had locked the door(h4x!11!). I told the fades to step up on me(lerk) and I would airlift them into the vent(a red vent, which is in the room before the corridor that has the door that was locked). However, we got surprised by 2 fully built Command Consoles in the vent :/// ...Man did it take a long time for the fade to get rid of those. But I felt extra good when the game ended and bragged about how I helped fades into a vent <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
