<div class="IPBDescription">question to modmakers</div> Ive been thinking about the webbinglimit , why is that so low ? For some hives you dont have enough web to shut off all entrances nicely. Why dont you guys remove that limit, would be cool, or at least rase the limit on webbbing or something. Double it i say <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . Marines can remove em if they have a welder anyway. Ns is about teamplay so **** those lone hmg'jp'ers who come ruin our hive because he foudn 1 entrance whos open. If we had more web he would need a welder and come in team with a guy with a welder. So they are easier to spot with more marines together. Btw Why can grenadelaunchers remove webs ? is that mend to be or does that just happen <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ive read that the web will be in slot 4 in 1.1 so that means we would need 3 hives for web. I see a problem here again.
If marines techrush and you can keep em busy by destroying one of their techbuildings sometimes you can have 2 hives by the time they have enough upgrades to attack and have one building or up yet. If you dont have webs to stop the jp's you will be focked by jp'hmg'gl'ers. Slot 3 was a good position. Why change it? or are those changes not official yet ?

    Your fears of a jp tech rush are pretty foundless. Check out the tech tree diagram; you'll need an upgraded armory (50 res + 3 min research time), Arms lab (30 res) then a proto lab (30 res) then research jps (25 res) then each jp costs 15 res. Thats a lot of res. In the meantime the aliens will be running around capping res at their leisure, ready to storm in with fades, lerks and oni whilst you're still trying to "tech-rush". I honestly have no fear of a jp rush in 1.1; you'd need a complete alien team of newbies for it to work.

    Do webs count as entities? If so, then that's the answer. There ought to be a limit on mines, as well.

    frugal webbing at EACH entrance, usually covers a hive. Exceptions include places like viaduct hive, in that case you're in trouble anyways if they can get past your perimetery.

    it only takes one strand across the middle of an entryway to catch a marine. two spaced out to catch him and his buddy.

    newb gorges like to put a few hundred in each hallway, and i havent been able to figure out why.

    Yes they do, which is one reason there is a limit (there are area limits, and a total map limit)

    (1.1 there is a mine limit I figure, since he is a Veteran, ie tester)

    I don't understand either why people new to gorgeing like to put alot of webs in one place... even if they don't know about the limit...
