<div class="IPBDescription">Error404: brings you another tactic!</div> <u><b>Hiding In Kharaa Resource Towers</b></u>
Skulks have the advantage of cover while attacking Marine resource towers, and guess what? -so do Marines. As you are all probably already aware, gorges often jump inside their resource tower to hide while they build it. Marines can do that too.
<u>Hiding</u>
I see lots of marines die as they stand around a Kharaa resource tower cutting it down with their knife. Wouldn't it be cool if you didn't? A Gorge can hide inside a resource tower while healing it at the same time, stalling the death of the structure while marines destroy it, so can a Marine jump inside this Resource Tower and begin cutting it from the inside.
The marine jumps up, into the Kharaa resource tower, and can either shoot the walls from inside, or crouch towards the node in the ground and slash in that direction. In the meantime, he will be undetected and visually unsighted, although any nearby offence chambers will begin shooting at him, as far as I know the resource tower should provide protection from them.
Killing Kharaa resource towers this way can effectively damage their economy greatly.
<u>Uses</u>
Apart from being great to sneak around maps without detection, there are plenty of other uses that if you are smart enough, you can apply to your tactics and strategies. I won't tell you what they might be, thats for you to experiment and discover.

And another problem is with knifing. When you crouch and start to slash, that annoying jittering starts.
You know, the screen shakes and stuff....
But yes, it is fun when aliens doesn't see you. But usually your hand, leg or head pops out the RT, if you look at it from several directions.
"hey it just said res tower under attack and i heard a knife sound... cant see anyone... ohwell"

I don't think he was planning on attacking while he was in it, he said you could use it to get around undetected.
It's kinda fun, but people have been doing it for months. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
What? I only use US servers when I play. But, I'm currently taking a break from NS until 1.1 comes out.
<!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> You can stop waiting, it came out a long long time ago.
Yeah I know you meant 1.1 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Nice catch. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I was GOING to type 'taking a break from 1.04' but you know what happens. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anyway using cl_centerentityid "1" makes it a lot easier to spot hidden gorges/marines and also see through the closed doors on ns_eclipse. :o Reminds me of cs_747. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Probably when you slash a RT, first alien isn't gorge who comes to check about what happened.
It will more likely be a skulk. Or do you run to a RT with gorge, if you hear that *resource tower is under attack* warning? I think you don't, unless if you have uber heal spray / spit combo skillz <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

WTH?? H4X? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
Oh, and that RT camping doesn't work if someone of the alien team press flashlight button. Because it will make that RT transparent.
I remember, once I was hidden in a res, at their hive (it was in Noname hive).
Our com researched Motion tracking also.
-------
-I started to slash the res for 2sec, then stopped.
I saw 1 blue circles incoming to me. The skull came, watched around the res, then left the place.
-I slashed the res again, for 2 sec.
This time, i saw 2 blue circles. 2 skulls came near me, patroled around, then left the place again. I was so LOL behind my screen.
- I slashed the res a last time.
I saw like 6 blue circles coming to me. 5 skulls and a gorge.
All together around me, screwing and chewing around, probably looking for an invisible marine lol.
Finally, a gorge smarter then the others, watched the res for 4sec, then spit to me.
Bah. I was killed in 1sec by 5 skulls, but well, that was hilarious.

Reading this Thread from the beginning, I just wondered why nobody presented this simple solution (for the aliens) <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
If stray bullets do hit the RT, maybe the message will be garbled, even better - although the res node will flash and for me flashing res nodes are much easier to find than a fuxxin 'structure'
