<div class="IPBDescription">What is this?</div> I was playing a game on Hera last night, commanding. I sent out my few marines and waited for them to secure Reception. I heard 'Galoomp galoomp' back at base. I see nothing, so I scan the base.


A gorge had set up 10 OCs in our base...

<b>SURROUNDING THE OBSERVATORIES (THERE WERE 2)</b> The O chambers were snuggled right up next to them.


Observatories are supposed to uncloak, aren't they? Is there some cursed bug with the Hera room? Because he came back and did it 3 times before I spent 100 res lining the walls with siege turrets.

    Sounds like a serious bug to me.

    Thats a simple trick:
    You can place hives inside of turret farms!!!

    Observatories decloak alien units only!!!
    A structure placed in cloaced range will be visible for one second and than become invisible unless it fires or gets fired/touched no matter if theres an obs.

    A turret farm fires at Structures in their visible second and keep it visible, destroing it that way.
    You can place hives inside of turret farms!!!
    You just need to make the turrets shoot at something else untill the hive cloaks, this can be yourself with redemption.

    All you need to defeat SC gorges is a brain.

    Now let's say those marines AREN'T retarded, now how will that work out <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    High-Intelligence gorges beat retard marines, but not average intelligence marines who notice what you're doing. People have tried putting that hive up in my turret farm, but I can hear it, shoot it, and have the turrets drop it for me.

    I've done this before too, and it's remarkable how they didn't suspect a thing during a two hive lockdown when the gorge started using bilebombs. What, did they get a hive up? DUHHHHH.

    So yes, Ollj is right, hack the obs with OCs and hives.
