    I think the only usable weapon on hive 2 is gorge BB. So why change it?

    Red text and overuse of smilies does not a solid argument make.

    Gorgey is now both a builder and a support unit. Get over it.

    I think bile bomb is fine now.

    It's cheap way to destroy turret farms.
    Bile bomb is "alien siege cannon".

    Siege cannon costs 15+15+15 resources.

    Bile bomb costs 35+10 resources.


    It will be unbalanced if Bile bomb is fade feature.

    And here's another vote against that idea.

    Gorge bilebomb is fine. Learn to use teamwork. I've been a gorge and knocked several structures out (I laugh at poorly protected turret factories now) with the help of ONE lerk thanks to umbra.

    Yes.In fact the Fade was too overpowered with Bilebomb,and it was a base wrecker

    Now we can have cheap base wreckers since marines can get sieges off the bat anyway

    Yes teamwork is everything in this game.

    It's not that the fade was overpowered with bilebomb. Remember, it was a hive 3 weapon back then and not abusely powerful. Fade was overpowered because of hive 1 acid rocket.

    Seeing that you assume BB doesn't do any damage, I assume you don't know it's strictly an anti-structure weapon now. I think the others made the point that it is quite useful as such.

    Do dont remobe bile from gorg! .. Fade is a hit and run and gorg is support 2,,01 is perfect considering that.. that those creatures actually match its class.. and it makes the game better and more deverse..

    Are you serious? Leap, umbra, metabolize and stomp are useless you say? You must be kidding.

    Compare the gorge to siege units in RTS games, like Warcraft III: While the siege units are devastating to buildings, they are vulnerable against other units and need protection if they're going up against buildings being protected by players. Nobody has ever complained that a meat wagon can't fight footmen effectively.

    yes lets talk about this instead.

    i was in comp core vent and wanted to teach the mariens a lesson for relocating around the res node there.

    foom foom foom foom. foom foom foom foom. no damage?!

    it was horrible! and i could see the structures, because of the angle of the vent i HAD to be looking downand seeing them. i sure hope the spotting code isnt as darn buggy as sieges spotting code. in any event i had wasted about 5 minutes, till the rines started laughing at me.

    so i kamikazed down into their base, spammed oc's and shot about 5 BB till i died. that time they were doing damage!! this change is horrible.

    BB didn't overpower Fades before, but they certainly would now, especially if they were at 2 hives. Bile Bombs are insanely strong now, and Fades are WAY too maneuverable to have that kind of power.

    That's right. But BB is the only one that actually makes damage <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> (except leap but seriously how often do you hit with that?)

    The other lvl 2 weapons are just supporting ones.

    GIVE BB back to fade? you must be one of those foolish gorges that throw about 30 bilebombs at me and then get knifed. i have not yet had the oppurtunity to experiment much with BB but it does alot of damage against buildings, especially with a few skulks and a umbra.

    fades are now one of my fav. classes. quick and manouverable yet sturdy enough to withstand a few bullets. giving them bilebomb would trigger a fade rush tactic.(and fades can be gotten early) in which the aliens go fade and claw/bilebomb the hell out of the marines as soon as they get 2 hives. while individual fades are easy meat for grouped marines and massed turrets, a group of 4-6 can be quite tough to defeat.

    this should be in S&I really.

    Well in a way i agree as i think u should get web earlier on. and meta is pointless. bb is a powerful thing too and a 10 res alien has it <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    1 ) Begging with huge font colors and plethora of stickies will not help as proven numerous times.

    2 ) I think it's an excellent idea for team coordination and balance. Although a 10 res gorge can have, you need 3 hives.

    3 ) What are the S&I forums for ? Won't be surprised if a search yields a similar plea and prompt rejection.

    Read the rules before you post, don't they clearly state that the use of annoying, oversized fonts and the over use of smilies is prohibited? Re-read the rules then post a thread that has legit reasons in the S&I forum.

    I found that problem too of shooting BB at stuctures and not doing any damage. Even though I seen them and I was getting shot at, IT was not a direct LOS so no damage was done. 2.01d didn't have that problem-which since I didn't see all the changes between d and e makes me wonder what changed.

    i think for all the repeated arguments above the gorge should heep it
    (remove the los-from explosion system so that you can shoot around corners and from vents again)
