This.... is a good idea... I suggest throwing this into that pyscholgoical warfare topic, because this would work perfectly <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Then this is an absolutely brilliant idea then!!!

Smithboy · February 2003

Yep, i've though about this. In fact, one game today I decided to throw down some ots around marine res nodes. They took them down, or the comm recycled them. This was in tanith, and they relocated to a hive. I should have done that to the base chair, so thanks for reminding me of that. They can't recycle it and it's got lots of health, plus it's not relevent enough to go back through a room full of OTs or even a few, to save.

ogz · February 2003

hmm... even if their relocate suceeds, u can stil do this to their old spawn?

Akalamanaia · February 2003

Always when marines relocate,just wait until their base is empty and snuck gorge there,he makes Rt,then put base full of OC and 1 oc near the CC,then marine commander will be whining for half-1 hour about lame aliens. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>.we once done this,and no one at the marines commanded for an hour,so we got 2 hives up and then harassed them for another hour with babblers(whole team was gorge lol)

yes

heathenSlayer · February 2003

Very excellent!
If only there was a way to put the chair on life support and have it last forever, yet they have to keep paying the hospital bills for it.

Amped1 · February 2003

Doing it to their old base would definatley teach them to relocate <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

If you make the offence chamber far enough away, that it misses most of the time, it lasts for about an hour and a half

V_MAN · February 2003

Hehe this can be very annoying for the commander but even putting the OC on the edge of it's rangeI still find that it takes the CC down in about 10 minutes. Normaly I will just paracite a stucture every few minutes to annoy the commander or chew a wall within earshot of the marine spawn to drive them nuts. The vent leading into marine spawn on Hera is a good example because it is right next to the room with the CC in <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> just sit up there in the vent chewing the wall and the marines think the CC is being attacked, best of all when the comm is looking at the marine spawn all he will be able to hear is a constant chomping coming from near to his CC.

your placement needs work

you need to place it at the edge of range, and near a wall so most of the shots hit a wall, a well placed DC can block if you need it.

It lasts for an hour+ if you do it right :-D

This has got to be the funnist thing in the world.

Teufel_Eldritch · February 2003

Woohoo! That is a FANTASTIC idea! Now the problem of getting other Khaara NOT to kill the extra chair. Gonna be hard explaining it in-game to those that dont know.

Digital-Limit · February 2003

I got it to work, the team acctually listened - but later on after we won it turned out one of them killed the turret half way through the game <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Again, doesn't the OC ignore the original CC. I've seen it not shoot before at them......<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>?

Nope. We did this about five games ago, and it worked fine.

Error404 · February 2003

If you set up the OC to miss the CC most of the time, then whats to stop a jetpacker getting past and building an infantry portal nearby? (NB. infantry portal is cheaper than phasegate)

sej · February 2003

hahaha relsan, well said <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

never tried this one, but it seems like a good idea, its ingenius. Its funny, annoying, and will actually help the aliens to win.

Thats the point really

Marines have to spend excessive rescources to get rid of it (expecially if there is an alien guarding it) and if they dont, the commander is crippled.

Depending on where it is, (usually an area like processing or atmosphereic) you can usually have a WOL in front of that area that the marines have to deal with before the tower itself.

"hmm... even if their relocate suceeds, u can stil do this to their old spawn? "

Ya know what... Most relocates I see, the comm doesn't leave til the original chair is dead (and he goes down with it.

Yes, but that doesn't matter, you can still do it. If he jumps out the OT will kill him most likely (especially if it has a DT with it.) If you put an OT, DT, then another OT in line with the CC, only one OT will shoot the CC. If the Marine hops out to try to stop the madness, he'll have to get an angle on the DT first, at which point the second OT starts firing at him.

CC.....................OT.DT.OT

...........M

Like that. For him to be able to shoot at the DT, he has to open himself up to fire from the 2nd OT. Most likely result is he dies and respawn in their new base, and the torture continues.

That_Annoying_Kid · March 2003

BWAHAHAHA
another thing to do this with is Res towers, but then the marines are still getting the res points for there, but it will do if there is no CC nearby

LoveDaddy · March 2003

DaStompa you offically get my first ever "EVIL THUMBS UP". For work to the benifit of khara kind.
