<div class="IPBDescription">quick change to make armor levels viable</div> Devour should do damage just like a normal attack. In NS mode it should do maybe 7.5 damage/second, but should also damage armor and give the Onos more armor. This will make each armor level more viable.
For example, a LA armor 0 marine will take 20 seconds to devour. Level 1 armor will bring it up to 25.33 seconds, level 2 armor brings it up 30.66, and level 3 will bring it to 36 seconds.
On HA, the devour speed is raised to 15 damage/second
HA level 0 armor: takes 33.33 seconds
HA level 1 armor: takes 37.33 seconds
HA level 2 armor: takes 41.33 seconds
HA level 3 armor: takes 45.33 seconds
So, you see, this buffs armors importance, and buffs the Onos devor at the same time. The Onos gains armor while devouring marines, but marines can last longer. In combat mode, all times are divided by 5.

Because they dont deserve to have fun when aliens get 3 hives, just like when aliens have 1 hive and marines have HA/HMG.
Nobody wants to be in an onos's belly for 45 seconds.
I don't want to be in anyone's belly for even 5 seconds -especially if the game has been already decided. Spoils the fun, now that you cannot even F4 out.

Jesus christ, are you people so impatient you cant wait 10 seconds? If I was adminning and I saw someone do that, I would perma-ban them on the spot.
And on the devour idea... no. Just no.

Why would I want to reconnect to a game where you will only get fragged? I'd rather find a new server, like when I get constantly devoured. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> And Weggy, note the words "already decided." <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I don't see why admins would ban, or even kick, people out if they reconnect to avoid devour-wait. Both take about as long anyway, with the player having to wait for connection, hop back to rines, and wait for spawn.
on a side note regeneration for onos should be +80hp +20ap. because as of right now, Regeneration isnt so great for Onos (though its the *Best* one to use ATM as onos <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> , especially when they get shot by 1 bullet and waste a good 80 regen addition on a lousy 10 hp, if not going +80/+20 it the regeneration should overlap and go straight to armor. Not going 695/580 to 700/580 for 1 regen count. it should overlap and fill it back to 700/600
im sure that the kharaa isnt more advanced and suited for battle than a fkn ELEPHANT

That's because then the ONOS doesn't get the res for the kill. It's kind of like pressing f4 to escape death.

Lets see how big we can get this quote tree =D
Exactly. Thats not fair to the Onos. YOU got devoured, YOU pay the price. Next time, dont get devoured. Then you dont have to whine.
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Is there a logical reason why marines can't cut/blast/shoot their way out of a onos' belly? Okay so the normal marines are burning form the acid, but surely the HA marines can muster the strength to get out. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Its been un-officially decided the Onos has gastric juices which paralyze humans.
nanites. no, wait.
if you ask a stupid question prepare to recieve a stupid answer as well.
Eg. onos devours lvl3 ha -> he runs slower
onos devours lvl1 marines -> no change in speed
and, adding fun, a jet-pack marine can make the onos jump/fly using jetpack :asd:
How dose said juice get past the HA? And yes i know why they can't brust out because ONOs is ment to be a anti HA weapon (hahaha) but the logic always sorta bugged me.

Well the fact that they EAT things and use them for food (even those the TSA book said the Aliens don't EAT they feed off the alien cells float around but the ono's devo sorta messes with that. But since it dose "eat" have have a heart beat sound it must have other organs. Now if it has those most of its inner body must be filled with them. And since a HA marine is about 60% of the size of a ono (long ways) it just wouldn't fit. Even a LA marine would be tuff.
The nanites stick around for a little while incase the onos dies, whereupon they reassemble into the armor for the marine.
case closed.
As long as its replaced with something to take out 1 marine off the field, AND be an official counter agaisnt HA. If not, then id rather keep devour. Not only does it counter HA, it Teaches those Marine Rambo's to stick with their team more. Which as you know, i LOVE doing.
Nothing more fun then hearing a Marine too "l33t" to stick with his team whining and crying that i constantly eat him when he leaves base by himself to go skulk and gorge hunting <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Just so you marines know, if im in game as Onos, you BETTER stick with your team.
