<div class="IPBDescription">of 40 sieges that fire nonstop?</div> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/uploads/post-1-1056763464.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

I dont know how.
I have a demo were sieges did almost no damage (but they did some) while 1 offense chamber kills 1 cc in less than a half second.
So I made a scene of 40+ sieges and cc spam against 4+ OCs and one DC. The sieges (and CCs) had no chance.
Sound, rumbling, siege sprites and all the muzzleflashes drive you crazy.
At the end (not in this file) I placed one oc in the middle of that sieges. Looked nice with them all aiming at one central point for ages.
They needed 3 minutes to take it out and the oc killed a few sieges meanwhile. I got just 20 damage once, no clue how.
Its not sv_cheats or developer mode alone wich caused that, but it helped. Any ideas?

To play this demo you sadly need my crappy beta map and a "slightly damaged" version of NS.
So it comes in 2 lowfps-highspeed .divx (4.01 ~7fps for realtime) without sound and one .mp3 file:

maybe in the funny screens thread?

Had something similar happen the other day on a server where after taking out Powersilo on ns_nothing the aliens tried to "sneak" a hive in cargo right under our noses. The server had a plug in for hive/structure health but as I was shooting at the newly put up cargo hive I noticed it did not have a health counter. After putting 6 lmg & all my pistol into it we had HAs/HMG/Glers ready. We had about 6 full armed HAs with HMG/Glers firing for a good 5 minutes on the hive while it was still in the process of going up.

Needless to say it would NOT take damage at all, aliens won & the marines were extremely not happy.

Aye had the same happen to me on "NS_cargo", the hive had been built and died so we stacked 3 DCs up under it then built the hive needless to say it would not take any damage at all even with a full marine army shooting it.

Tyrain · June 2003

We once managed to lock a built hive. We placed 30 turrets and some sieges. All were shooting at the hive but I didn't died.

Hrm... is all this with 1.04? I'm wondering if this is a bug, or a cheat, or an exploit, or whatnot?

Syringed · June 2003

Yes, it's with 1.04. It might be exploit related since the gorge on the aliens team a few rounds before in ns_nancy was building DCs outside of the ship at marine start (Server did not have hullu's unstuck plugin) & He was found later building under the satalite dish at ns_tanith or it could just be a really ugly bug. I hope it doesn't show up again in 1.1.

Oh btw what map is that you were playing on? and where can I get it?

Cal1 · June 2003

Could you post the demo with the map attached? One time on ns_siege005, the map timer was scrwey so we built about 60+ sieges in there and when the door opened... BOOM!!! hive was dead in a matter of seconds. I think the reason the oc didnt die was the damage was to much overkill and the damage didnt register correctly. Just a theroy though.

The hive has super-carspace, now. Soon, Skulks will turn into scorpians that hovar without flapping.

Keyser · June 2003

Just looking at those screenshots makes my FPS drop a good 30.

Rion · June 2003

I played a game a couple months ago where the cargo hives was going up and no one could kill it.. it was one gorge, 4 DCs, 2 OCs, and a hive.. HA grenades, HMGs, LMGs, suicidal marines with welders or mines.. nothing could take them out.. the gorge reigned supreme as all of the marines F4ed and took the newly built hive as a sign from god that they where ment to lose

..or something <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> I was an alien so it was great to see the teams go from 8V10 to 8v4 then mass attacking all of the resource towers and taking Via to win the game against the outnumbered marines <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Marines need to find out how to exploit the "Invinciable Comm Chair" where the Comm Chair has infinity health so aliens can know how it feels. Just have the comm go AFK 4 the rest of his life to insure f4 winnage.
