So I can't really tell where bugs get posted, and I also kind of want to see people use this before it gets fixed, soooo:
You know when you are cloaked, and you hold crouch to go slowly so you don't become visible? Well you can do this with the Onos as well, big surprise. However, it seems that while you are doing this the speed modifier the Onos gets from momentum continues to increase as if you were walking normally. Slowly move in a direction for 15-20 seconds while cloaked, and when you let go of crouch, you go <b>really really</b> fast. Its like slingshot action.
I want to see this widely used before the next build!

hmm, im wondering if i should fix that now, sounds like fun
I think you underestimate the speed boost. Its rather comical really. No way its intentional.
because, bacteria
Not at all. It builds as if you were running for that amount of time and when uncloaked you transition to that speed. I think it was somewhat intentional as a charge but over done, an onos in cloak is basically useless at chasing after a marine so it just needs to sit around in a spot until the marine falls into its trap.
Definitely doing it wrong then. 10 to 15 seconds will get you a respectably rapid speed. Do it for 30 to 40 seconds and you can go faster than I've seen anything move in NS before.
lol
if you get away with waiting a whole 40 seconds just outside of marine base, crouching, i think you deserve some speed :)
there's a lot of tradeoff here. plus without the onos actually knocking down anything while running - its not such an advantage in combat, just travel.
