Nancy Port Hive

Zeus · June 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Hidden room</div> I'm fairly new to the game so i'm still learning some of the maps, and earlier while playing offline and exploring Nancy i found myself stuck inside the room with the broken door in the Port Engine hive. Before this i had no idea there was even a proper room behind it. But i had the thought that you could get in the secret room and gorge some chambers in there incase the marines attempt to destroy the others and leave you with no upgrades.

I know some people probably wouldn't like this happening on public servers because it would be seen as an exploit but i thought it would be cunning and fun when playing small games against friends. (Until they eventually find it and siege it that is)

Btw...to get in the room, enter the vent (above the room) in the Port hive and evolve into a fade a few feet into the vent. I say evolve into a fade but it may work with other evolutions too, that's the only one i have tried. After hatching out you will appear in the room below.

P.s If this is already well known and frowned upon, i'm sorry. I'm new to the community so i haven't seen it mentioned.

Ive seen this done before, but as marines... it can be quite lame and anoying, especially when the marines are down to virtually nothing..

altho, to get in there as marines, you need to build a phasse gate right next to the dorr, and build it "through" the door....

great place to hide tho if you have silence, and a load of DC's in there <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

I love this stuff...

Don't do this on public servers unless everyone agrees to do it... But "exploits" CAN be fun if everyone feels like messing around.

NS_nothing: the rines relocated and dissapeared...
we heard them, we couldn't see them.

THEN we noticed they UNDERNEATH the left "elevator shaft" in the rine start.

That was great fun <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

A guy named Arsey that played rines that round still has to explain me how they did it.

As I said before, this won't be allowed or highly appreciated.... but amongst friends, or with some ppl who are in for some fun, exploits or new locations can be very cool <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Cheers

Build a command chair over the grate. Get in then get out.

as a fade you can blink into the elevator floor, the /stuck through it on most servers.

dont know how to get through there as a marine though.

big_fat_c0w · June 2003

have u tried building outside hera. u can build just outside the marine base.. just put ip behind the RT u can also come back to the game it self.. lolz.. anyway expliots usage depend on the time and place..

relsan · June 2003

That exploit would be potentially effective. But if the marines have motion tracking and siege technology its only a matter of time. Might buy you a few minutes though.

I've had that as a Kharaa - it really upset & angered me because they basically raped us. even worse - they killed our Port Hive (we had it up before they located there) just as I hit 53 res so I couldn't turn into a fade. Else I'd have spammed acidrockets through the door to kill them.

Anyhoo after battling it out and dying repeatedly against those brutal odds we aliens just F4ed.

We had port up AFTER they relocated there, so they didnt have the chance to put sieges down, and ran out of space... Eventually we got the 3 hives, and acid rocket/bile bomb spammed em till they dropped dead.... took us a while tho....

robke · June 2003

if you go to port hive, it is left to the entrance near the res node. it's behind the broken door.

Zeus · June 2003

I assume you have seen the broken door and are wondering what it looks like from inside. I was going to post a pic but geocities kept messing up.

Anyway it's just a plain old room, about the width of the door and a few feet in length, perfect size to cram with chambers.

That_Annoying_Kid · June 2003

on hera you can build a CC right outside of the marine start, and if they can't see it you can have a free CC that the aliens won't destroy

Lightning_Blue · June 2003

You CAN shoot acid rocket through the pink forcefield in the walkway and hit the other side of that door.

That_Annoying_Kid · June 2003

true, but if you sneaky enough with CC placement it's obcenely hard to see it, and you also could just go up to the marine start side and shoot thru it as well, right?

Amped1 · June 2003

On Tanith, in waste handling hive, a fade can shoot thru the welded shut vents. It's a great way to teach those marines not to relocate to hives and not to weld the vents shut <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> . You can also build in the furnace near Feedwater of Bast. Or try building outside the marine start on Nancy. Or maybe building outside port hive will make you happier. There are more map exploits than any other kind of exploit <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'> .

Ness · June 2003

Another one of the old stuck exploits (servers using the odl stuck should kick themselves anyway). On hera, youd go into the pink forcefield hallway and use stuck while on the ceiling of the forcefield to go through, hop down into the blackness as a skulk, go gorge, put down some dcs (put them right they go blackish). This is basicly common knowledge now though, but if your going against a comm who doesnt know about it , it can be quite amusing for a while until one side gets bored. Cant remember the last time I did this, but it was rather funny.

Brave_Ulysses · June 2003

So this has turned into a map exploit thread now? I foresee locky locky...

So to contribute - remember this place in NS Caged, just a few moments away from Marine Start?

Brave_Ulysses · June 2003

Well, you can build inside those pipes. And as long as you don't stick it TOO far over an edge no-one can see anything's outline in there:

Ankle-Biter · June 2003

Hey, that knife looks good - where'd you get the skins from, and with the armory, its got a red panel <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'>

nah, the best place to build stuff as aliens is in the ready room.... you need high level admin access tho <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> (clanmod teleport... needs certain flag)

keeps the marines guessin for ages.. while you survive on a few offences + defences.

The_0range_MarinE_2 · June 2003

That knife is from a skin pack, called Daemon Elite, it owns. Heres the site you can get it from...

www.nscentral.com

But, if you can find commander kitty's skin pack of aliens, install it first...then install the Daemon Elite pack. Now you have the super dooper ultra uber pack stack on ya back yo? lol <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

What happens when someone joins the server and sees this stuff in the ready room?

Yup. Right on. But I substituted its HA for a Deathsquad one. This kind (it reminds me of whiney teenagers who listen to Linkin Park, etc. - they wear shirts with those orange flames on):

The_Real_Quasar · June 2003

I remember using roll the dice on one server (funmap server) just as our hive was going down. I got noclip and raced to the RR, where I dropped a few DCs and sat for AGES.
Fun!

Parasite · June 2003

One time on Nancy I got stuck in a box under the floor, in the hall leading from Mother interface to port/subspace...
