Should I Build A Chamber 'ladder' ?

<div class="IPBDescription">Good idea or not so good?</div> Okay i used to do this and i'm gonna give you guys the idea. First i find a vent that's too high for any gorges/fades/onos to get in. so i decided to make a chamber 'ladder'. What this is is a number of chambers stacked on top of each other like a ladder. you can whatever chambers you like, and if it says too much of this chamber, build a diff kinda of chambers. To climb the 'ladder', just hop on the lowest chamber, then hop on the next one, and keep doing it till your up in the vent. The 'ladder' can be made of any chambers. i suggest you make an offensive chamber and defensive chamber ladders so it'll have 3 purposes:(1) the defensive chambers heal the oc or players

(2) the oc attacks the marines

(3) AND THE CHAMBERS are the ladders.


You can do any chambers, so if you wish, you can try mixing all the chambers and get a huge amount or purposes, some useful, some okay.


Good idea, bad idea??? Post your replies

    I love doing that when the game is a sure win <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    It's great fun, but most times it will just suck up your ressources because those chambers have the tendency to crumble and fall
    down <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Oh it's also very useful blocking those pesky elevators on nothing. You can cut off access to powersilo and great viaduct completely this way. (Except for that little Vent coming from Cargo Bay and the Vent in foreboding Antechamber, but any marine jumping out of that one will plummet to death <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    you have to be careful when you stack because if anything shoots stacked chambers they fall. I've actually been trapped under my own falling oc's like out of some strange alien rescue movie <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ive seen a gorge do that but only about 3-4 towers on nothing. To block the quadlift near that res node. He makes the lift go up, then builds out a bit. Marines try to come down, lift hits a chamber, and is forced back up I think.

    Not exactly. if they do blow up the lowest chamber, it will fall down , but i don't think mariens will get the chance of shooting cause of a stacked tower of oc and dc. hehe i love the ladder cause as a gorge/fade/onos, i can get in the vent and sneak attack or get to places faster.

    Not always. I've seen towers hovering in mid-air after lower towers were destroyed by a <!--emo&::siege::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='siege.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You could have built a hive with that res you spent on the DC's... looking at that shot, you have only one hive, and none in construction...
