<div class="IPBDescription">Oh woe is me</div> Just when I thought I've seen the last of it, I was telefragged for the first time in Natural Selection today...what hurt the most was it happened when I was an Onos. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Happened when I was literally ontop of a Marine IPS and someone spawned in...Marines like to clump all their stuff together - I've seen telefragging go on even on ones own team.

Note to commanders - please space out your structures...especially your IPs..

Thanks for the short read...

    And make it easier for onos to attack them? No.

    stupid onos.
    Ah well I once spawncamped in an empty marine base above 2 ips close to each other.
    A marine spawned in the ip a little farer away from my wall.
    I jump off to attack it and just in that time, one second later, a marine in the ip below me spawns and telefrags me.

    Instead of standing ON the IP, stand only close enough to use Gore on it.

    It's great fun to see an Onos get telefragged on an IP. Whenever the base is under attack by an Onos, I always hope that it will happen <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    Just be careful and don't stand on the IP. Don't treat it like a phase gate <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I remember the nice times where the comm built the ips in places where u get stuck when respawn, thats not a big deal nowadays, but when it happens on a server that has no unstuck mod u get pretty much annoyed, especially when the comm steps out of the cc and gets killed aswell *AAARGH*

    You might as well say "Those marines keep shooting me whenever i go onos, so please marines, don't shoot onos from now on."

    Heh. Yeah - Oh well, thanks for your thoughts...I've just seen an increase of it lately and thought there should be something that should be done. But what really bugs me is when you telefrag your own team mates because they're simply just idle. If you're going to be afk, go hide in a dark corner or something. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The best I have seen was a game on eclipse where we were losing badly, and the aliens had come into our base to finish us off.
    We had 3 IPs all around the impotant things (armory, cc arms...).
    The aliens all bunched up and started to destroy all of out things. All of a sudden the top corner of the screen has 6 Skulls on it with the names of the aliens.
    2 ppl had spawned and the alien team was all on or close enough to an IP to be telefraged.
    We all had a great laugh after that!

    A spaced-out base avoids IP telefragging, for better or worse.

    A clumped base is asking to be bile-bombed to oblivion.

    Pick your poison. Personally, I space things out on either team to give my opponents more targets to have to aim at.

    Its too bad you can recycle (pick back up) heavy armor and jetpack


    I remember when an onos stomped me and ran away due to low health when i had HA/GL. i just happened to be stunned right on top of an ip, and before i could get off, someone respawned. There goes 20 bucks right there

    I was telafraged for the first time in ns2 last nite. We just got done breaking the last marine turrtle. I had to fall back to heal (was onos with carapace). By the time I got back to here base just about Everyone in the server was dead. I ran in just as com (last marine) finished building a new IP. Knowing it was over (or so he thought) a sprayed me down as I ran to him chuckling. I stomped him and moved in for the kill but, Just as I jumped over IP to devoure him a guy spawned in and gibed me. Talk about bad (good) luck.
