What Happens To Offense Chambers When Gorge Leaves

<div class="IPBDescription">not sure if this is for general or here</div> You know how offense chambers are linked to the gorge that builds them (when your chamber gets a kill, it counts as the gorges kill) However what happens when the gorge that builds the structures leaves the game or joins the other team? Nothing really ciritical, just curious <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Hehe, this is a good question, I can only supply half an answer though <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> If a gorge leaves the game, or is in the Ready Room, the kill appears on the screen with their name before it, but it appears grey. If, however, they join the other team, I am not sure what would happen. Wouldn't it be strange if you were killed by your own turrets? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If they switch teams, the Chambers basically "shut off". They don't fire at Aliens, but they won't fire at Marines either.

    Another reason why anyone who's played Gorge at all shouldn't switch teams...

    Really, the Chambers should just go "unowned" and kill without "belonging" to anyone. It's a small bug.

    whoa I never knew that, hmm interesting. Does the dev team know about this? I've actually never heard of this bug being discussed before so I don't know <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's anecdotal, but that's what I've heard.

    Are you sure about that? i dont think i've ever seen an offensive chamber not shoot at someone! I dont play marine too much but i've certainly never seen that happen. I doubt people who play gorges never jump ship early so i would assume something else happens... mabey when you leave the "Ownership of the turret" goes to the next gorge... wonder if the Developers have a say in that?

    Well I know for certain that offensive chambers continue scoring kills in the name of whoever built them, even if that person left 30 mins ago, came back and then left again.

    I don't know what happens if a gorge switches teams...

    I haven't played NS in a few days (work!! grrr!!), so my memory is a bit foggy. But if I remember correctly, the offense chambers still work, but there's simply no credit given for the kill.

    Example: Let's say NSPlayer is a Gorge. He builds a few offense chambers, then leaves the game. MarineBoy comes along and gets killed by the chamber. On the side of the screen where kills/deaths are announced, the "cause of death" icon is displayed, and MarineBoy's name.

    I'd get a screenshot, but, like I said - work!! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Please correct me if I'm wrong. I <i>think</i> that's right, anyways... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I know they still work when someone leaves the game, but I'm foggy on when they switch teams.

    Well I've seen guys leave games, return 15 minutes later and any offensive chambers they placed still scores kills in their name...

    Did they SWITCH teams, though? That's the issue.
