<div class="IPBDescription">A suggestion for a new Gorge ability</div>After playing around a little with the Gorge Racing mod I had the idea that perhaps the ability to drop a pool of slippery stuff behind the gorge would be a useful defensive buff.

I've lost count of the times I've ended up being on the run from a group of marines as a gorge, even with celerity you almost never escape. It would be great to be able to drop a short term patch of grease to slow down pursuers and with a high energy cost to discourage spamming it, I don't think it would be game-breaking.

    bhop would allow you to escape, they should just add that.

    on the topic of gorge abilities i think they should have the novel idea to drop resource harvesters

    i am already out of energy as gorge most of the time.
    Often I even have to wait for energy to belly slide...

    Just give bellyslide an oily slimetrail that slows marines.

    Maybe as a 2hive upgrade, or something.

    They should be able to fart out an ink cloud as well.

    I like Twiggeh's snail-trail idea but the ink cloud as well as a movement debuff might be a little OP :)

    Why stop at harvesters, imho Gorges should be able to drop the buff chambers once the khammander has chosen the tech (shift, shade or crag).

    The only issue I can see balance-wise is that it means pres would be tapped for what currently costs tres and may advantage the aliens too much unless a balancing mechanic can be found for the marine side.
