<div class="IPBDescription">Some various bugs</div> Dunno if these bugs have been mentioned before so please don't flame ;/
You can walk <i>into</i> a turretfactory, so the turrets can't shoot at you, and you can still destroy it.
The hitboxes of a marine who is crouching is f00ked up, there was this marine walking throu a really small vent and we just couldnt kill him with anything... either the hitboxes were to far up or below the ground... dunno.
Sometimes when you try to build things as a commander is just goes back to the 'main build menu' when you try to click on anything, so you gotta get out and in again for it to go away...
Well there are some more but I think you've already reported them.

That's not really the case, if you can go into a turret factory so can bullets.
The thing is most likely you are using the turret factory as shield from the turrets, I do this all the time, it will appear for you as you're inside but really you're just "behind" it.
Observed:
There was a fade that would not uncloak. He was running around the marine base slashing in a cloaked state. I later saw him as a Skulk and he was back to normal. Not sure what caused it though. The player claimed he did not know how it happened.
Unsure:
Perhaps just coincidence, but I have had this happened twice. I was stuck as an Onus after a redemption, so I evolved to a skulk. When the evolve was done, I was quickly shifted along the wall about 5 feet and then the server crashed. Out of the 20 or so times I've been redemption stuck, this has only happened twice.
Unobserved:
I did not observe this, but a friend of mine was playing on a 1.01 server as an alien. Someone asked if anyone was up for an exploit. Shortly after the aliens had about 1000 resource points.
Same with many things though... like alien resource nodes and just about every building. I don't know if it can be fixed, but right now 90% of buildings allow you to creep inside them, but at the same time, all the areas you can 'creep inside' are unshootable.
Perhaps this is to allow aliens to squirm inbetween their own buildings and stuff... but it does have the negative effect of a tiny hittable area because it seems that in half-life, hittable area corresponds to solid, nonmovable area... so you can shoot through like 60% of the offensive towers, the bullets pass right through, and only a tiny square in the core is really solid (probably the same, bounding box == tiny)
HL uses the bounding box to 'early out' traces...
It has only happened once to me and i think it happens when you are cloaked the very moment you loose all your Sensory Chambers. At least, this heppened to me when we lost our second Hive with thr sensory chambers.
