Killed When Evolving :o

tokkos · January 2004

I want to ask if there is a way when ur evolving into like a onos and a marine comes and starts shooting the egg is there a way to save ur points??
Because yesterday i was turning into a onos and this happend i lost 100 resources and just sat there watching him shooting me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> Is there some way to save the points??IF there isnt there should be!

I'm sorry their is not any way to save res. All you can do is find <b>good</b> places too evolve. Remember, if you are evolving from a skulk, you can climb up into a vent or hard to reach area and hide while you evolve. Often the safest place to evolve is on top of your hive, unless the marines acquire Jetpacks.

There is no way to regain your points once you have chosen to evolve, but there is a simple way of avoiding that situation occuring, and that is chosing a sensible place to evolve such as a hive or a well defended location that your team holds. Occasionally you will be killed in these places, and that is annoying, but its part of the game.

As for being able to get your res back, that is silly, why should the marines lose out to cover for alien incompetance?

I tried that for a few weeks. I got ontop of the Furnace hive on Orrigin, went Onos, and forced myself through the ceiling...

:\

Ah well. Good place to go gorge though; you can drop an OC while you are there to prevent JP attacks.

I usually evolve on top of the hive (if I'm evolving to onos), but all the other times I just evolve in the hive in a corner, or another obscurred area. I usually don't evolve anywhere else even behind a wall of oc's because I have killed a few gestating things by jumping over an oc wall and just emptying my clip into it.

If you went to evolve in a bad place, shame on you. If you went to evolve in a good place, shame on your team. Either way, you're not going to get your res points back, sorry. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

That's crazy, even I wouldn't try to Onos on top of the hive. My suggestion is meant for smaller races. Onosing just anywhere is a good way to waste a 100 res Blue. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Couldn't agree more. Evolving in MS is <span style='color:red'>never</span> a good idea. But if your team isn't bothering to protect places like your one and only hive or something, then you can't be blamed.

I consider that the BEST place to go onos. I usually go onos on top of the hive so I don't get killed and lose all that hard work.

ParaseticLifeForm · January 2004

I usally rush to the rt nearesr too their hive to kill an egg they get so ****. The gestate right on the nozzle and just shoot at it.

d0omie · January 2004

if you get carapace first, you will find your egg nearly indestructable!

Thats if you want to be a carapace alien of course..

same for redemption (I think)

woohoo, lets go onos in a vent

Cold_NiTe · January 2004

Ok I am gonna go through this point by point. <ul>
<li>Evolving in vents and small spaces is good if you are evolving to a smaller evolution.
<li> I never said to go onos in a vent. I just said evolve in hidden places with the above information ^^.
<li>Evolving on top of the hive is fine usually, but in some maps the cieling is too low and you will get stuck.
<li> This is why I think it is crazy, because if you are not paying attention ot which map it is, you will get stuck.
<li>I did not factor in "/stuck" but I'm not sure if it would work either.
</ul>

I dont have to much trouble with the hive room, the closer to the hive the better so that aliens spawning cover you. Way too often i find fading an issue on some floors and sinking through. I hate onos so tend to avoid it (im good at onos i just hate him).

On top of a hive is best for most evolutions, and only a few hives are onosable on top eg: refinery.

There are so many perches on refinery though, why bother taking the chance of getting on top of a hive to egg and having a jetpacker assault. There are plenty dark ledges to get on...

I once went fade on top of ns_veil's Pipeline hive. And fell in to the centre of the hive. During a clan war. On a server with no unstuck plugin.

*Sniff*

Yep, from experience I can tell you that eggs can redemp. Poor marine must have been very disappointed... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Because they'll scour every ledga in Refinery.

It's a common tactic to try and ambush from those dark ledges, and when marines get jetpacks the only safe place to a dark ledge VERY far away from the hive, and on top of that, you won't be able to get back to the hive in time.

Worth taking risks on a hive though

BTW, a little tip for some people....Fade in vents, you'll pop out in a crouched position so you won't be stuck (except for a few odd surfaces....I wonder how that happens....)
