Just remember to always work as part of a team. 100 res is a lot to play around with, and if the team wants a hive, some chambers or some fortifications, the team must come first.
Ryo-Ohki is right tho , the fact is that alines still need some degree to team work to win games and an extra res node at the start of the game helps alot for the whole team or getting MC's or DC's faster.
i wouldnt ever ban some1 for doing it but i wouldnt ever do it my self.
I stopped counting the games I lost as Khaara because of a team consitsing of reswhores.
It ruins the day really. I can count the games within the last two month where I actually attacked marines in another way than bilebomb their farms on my fingers without exaggerating.
Rigth now I almost quit playing Khaara because of this. It sucks big time.
What is so difficult in swarming out, search a nozzle, go gorge drop the damn resnode and go skulk again to hunt or defend?
Its so simle to win as Alien team, if just half of the team would capture a resnode.
Talking and saying what you are doing is the first great step towards teamwork. Even if noone else does this, I always say what I am doing. Saving for hive, saving for another life form, dropping dcs, hunting marine resource towers, and so on.
If the game isn't organized -- organize it, or at least try.

And another thing: The worst thing the marine team can face is Onos. Most of the time on pub servers, anyway. When commanding, that is my long term goal: Prevent onos from happening. On the other side, I love it when I suddenly see one of the players going onos. Hopefully a good one, but it's great anyway. It is not lame to save for an onos if your team needs it.
However, judging what is most needed, that 3rd hive when the 2nd one is going down from siege, or onos to take out the siege? Tough call.
Stepping up and saying!
"YOU SAVE, YOU DEFEND HIM, YOU COME WITH ME"
Can turn a group of unorganized clowns into a hard core team.
This case I feel the poster is leaving out some information.
The only time you should give up being a ONOS is when it helps the team... which is most times!
Ppl never consider how 8 OCs in a key location can bring in the res for someone who wants to go Onos.
Well, with three hives and lots of RTs that should never be a problem. It's people who save for fade/onos on the first hive that need a swift punch in the neck.
Statements like this really bug me... you'd kick someone because they don't play the game the way you want them to?
I mean, using exploits, team-killing, deliberately wasting res, or any other game-ruining factors are one thing. But it's quite another to be playing the game the way you want, and get kicked because an admin doesn't like it. Sure, it's by far not the best tactic, and can lose the game in certain circumstances, but the same can be said for many many situations. What's next? Banning the marine comm because he doesn't relocate to the place the admin prefers on a certain map? Kicking the gorge because he *gasp* placed sensory first? Reporting a welder who stays back to save the base instead of following the HA train? This is a slippery slope, IMO, and shouldn't be encouraged.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think doing things without telling the team should be encouraged either. When I play marine, I follow orders. When I play Kharaa, I'm generally the down-and-dirty Gorge getting the job done. But I wouldn't dream of punishing someone just because they don't do what I think they should... help them to see the wisdom in a different path, yes, but not strong-arming them for it.
Sigh, he NEVER said that.
The only people who don't talk...... are saving for onos, and would rather not announce their hoarding intentions. I mean, if someone found out they had 80 res and we needed a hive, they'd have to build it! And onos hoarders can't have that, can they.
As for the "oh we got pweened because we didn't hoard" claim, the reason you got pweened was because the whole fricking team went gorge. COMMUNICATE. If you see 4 gorges, don't be the fifth. And let people know. Certainly on experienced servers we do have people calling out "ok do we need a hive or can i go fade" and generally the answer is "you a good fade? Then fade, I'm 5 res from hive anyway".
Promoting teamplay works. And it means you know what everyone else is doing... thusly you know what YOU should be doing. If you want to hoard, find a server where the players don't mind. Sitting mutely while hoarding for onos will not make you any friends, and will more likely result in you making enemies. If you MUST hoard, clear it with the team first. It's polite, and it means they're not relying on you to pull your finger out and drop a hive.
Bear in mind that the people going gorge for YOUR benefit will spend a lot, if not all, of their res, and when its time for second or third hive they rely on you to carry the torch.
If you can't fit in with the team, then expect being ejected from servers or suffering a hail of abuse from your team.
after asking them 5 times to plz speak english i said: "ffs you are on an ENGLISH server so SPEAK ENLGISH ****"
got banned for swearing...
I am VERY good with onos and devour n gore 9 marines in about 5-6 minutes sometimes less.I get 100 res I go onos but I usually have regeneration or redemption and cloaking which works very well for me oh and celerity.
Alittle bit of a strat I use effectively
Redemption or regeneration- incase I am about to die go run off somewhere and heal.
Movement- celerity for fast getaway while devouring
Cloaking- for sneaking around staying cloaked while holding ctrl or E and hiding around a corner waiting for marine to come by then devour him hehe <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yes sometimes I can catch jetpackers flying with devour something of which I am trying to master.
This is an oxymoron. Good alien teams don't have res whoring aliens.
That gives me an idea for a plugin that checks how many hives there are when a sensory is builts
>3 hives = ban!

err...try that on your regualr server and youll end up kicked...
Ah yes, ye ol' super oc at choke points. Saw a guy do that then defend it with a super dc, never saw a marine squad fall so fast.
And what bugs me most is when I'm gorge (almost every game I play as aliens) I get hollered at to drop more dcs/mcs/scs whatever, by skulks! If someone would just think for a second that I'm not getting the res I need to build a chamber and build it themselves they'd be a lot better off. It's not a waste of res to go gorge, drop a chamber and build it before returning to skulk. It helps the team out a lot. I actually threatened to not build a third mc if a guy didn't quit hollering at me for one, then the admin threatened to ban me.

I believe I am just as good with cloaking as with carpace or celerity...and I dont consider myself to be a noob..
