Wait... just read the original post. It says that Gorges get bilebomb, but does NOT say they get it at second-hive.
Flayra was mentioning a second-hive ability specifically to break weldables, and people apparently got confused. So for the moment (no matter how much I might want to see one-hive webbing, apparently as the spaz's antithesis) it may just be a straight-up replacement of Babblers for Bile Bomb.
the only problem with bile bomb is that you have to aim <i>upwards</i> for it to have any distance... maybe it should have some initial vertical velocity or plus a few degrees on its firing angle (like grenades have in CS)
I would not cry if goosecrap, I mean gorge spit, goes away in 1.1... who uses it that much anyways? healspray as a defensive measure makes sense... it would probably lead to much less gorge ownage of nonupgraded marines eheheh
Healspray is all I use against marines, and I take down solo marines with cara easily enough by myself <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Spit is useless really...
But webs at 1 hive? I doubt that, would be much too powerful unless the effects were toned down a LOT... might be feasable if the marine could still shoot I guess..
so does anybody know what fade will have now instead of bile bomb i <u>hope</u> it's some sort of new melee attack because with the claws on that thing i think they should be purely melee aliens, maybe the new attack could be a fade could bring down both claws at once in a heavy swing doing a hell of a lot of damage but a high cost in energy??
Ah, now this links in perfectly with the comment Flayra also made saying that gorges would have a specific anti-building attack in 1.1. Since the bile bomb does double damage to buildings, I think this is said ability. Personally I'm all for it. Artillery in the battlefeild is a support weapon, just like the gorge. It's fitting that the artillery weapon goes to the support class.
Strangly no-one seems to have mentioned the other side of the coin here: a new fade ability! What shall it be?

geez u laugh at your own joke (and a lame one at that) kinda lame huh <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
perhaps abilities wotn be linked to hive count in 1.1 (yeah that sounds rediculous, but remember the PT's keep telling us that things have changed too radically for us to speculate on at all)
what we DO know is that something will replace a fade's bilebomb, because its just not flayra's style to give two creatures the same weapon. id like to think its a new melee attack, as everyone complains of the acid rocket spammers. maybe its a new kind of blink, (a commandable redemption?)

Well, actually IIRC I read a thread that mentioned to the effect of that unless Blink is fixed, it'd be removed. So the Fade may end up with two new abilities. Which is quite a bit to be redefining, and could branch it out into a whole new area.
Personally, I'd like to see a Fade weapon that would give you 100% cloaking, even while moving. Yes, it'd duplicate the Cloaking upgrade (but do it better than the cruddy 90% cloaking). Yes, it'd probably be pretty dang overpowered. But it doesn't stop me from wanting to see it, if for no other reason than to go along with the name.
Methinks Fade will get somthing like 'Adrenaline Rush' which makes them move and attack faster (kinda like Primal Scream, but self contained). Would put an end to those pansy shoot n scoot Fades (you would run out of adrenaline REAL fast) and enable the Melee Fades to rise up!
