Best Places To Gestate..

itsmemo · October 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">cause the hive isnt always safest</div> Im always puzzled on were to go onos , you can go fade and lerk in vents, but not onos, most of the time I choose to go onos in the hive. but the next thing you know, a rambo marine comes in and knifes your egg.
Most hives only have 3 chambers and an rt in them anyway.

my favorite and safest spot I can think of to gestate, even onos, is the top part of generator room on ns_nothing.

tell us the map and place were you would gestate into a higher lifeform without any risks.

I don't tend to evolve in any specific point in a map really, i just judge how safe a certain place is. If i see 3-4 OC's nearby, i gestate on the opposite side of them to the front lines, also, try and pick the hive furthest from all the action.

Just learn not to evolve sitting in the corridor right outside marine start and all is well. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

The little room in Processing ( I think, has that big glass window, on the way to Data Core hive) in ns_hera is a good place, behind the wall near the res tower with some OCs on the other side.

Under the metal walkways in Maint Hive in ns_eclipse.

In the little trench thing at the highest point of Engine Hive in ns_bast.

Can't remember any other places for any other maps at the moment, but those are a few of my spots. Use them wisely. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

~writes them down in the marine 'where to knife ono eggs' handbook~
uh-huh, anywhere else? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

theres a great place right outside of furnace (opposite exit of ore extraction) with really high rafters. You can go onos up there and probably not be shot ^_^

I hear that the best place for an onos to evolve is just down the pit in generator room. You'll find hundreds down there! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Damn, I knew someone would come by and do that eventually... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Actually, its only the major things that really bug me that spread like wildfire when mentioned on the forums. Like grenade spam in 2.0, I had never encountered a game with any nade spam, but ever since I read a thread a while back talking about how annoying it is, its been everywhere. Thankfully theres no more now that theres 2.01.

That's not the only place; ns_origin has lots of places like that. Computer Lab and Biodome, for example.

best place is the hive

eVox · October 2003

dont froget on top of the hive. this is where i usually go lerk, depending on the map tho

Big_Chief_Brown_Bottom · October 2003

best place to go onos is on top of the smelter in refinery hive (ns_bast). you can jump down after evolving and not die. then you can heal quickly cause the hive is there.

worst place to evolve is on top of a grate. due to a bug you may end up below the grate (permanently stuck) after evolution

yeah I always gestate on top of a hive, so if they do try and shoot you, they hit the hive, and then everyone knows there's a marine there...etc...

Rush_Of_Peons · October 2003

ns_nothing red room, despite not getting out its hilarious when the marines try a last ditch effort to relocate there and consequently get eatten <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

DarkRage · October 2003

on top of the hive <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> since if your getting shot at all the bullets hit the hive instead of you.

Geronimo · October 2003

if you have 3 dcs near the hive youll heal 50 hp per second...marines will ahve to fire alot to kill you

RaVe · October 2003

Around the safety of some OCs or an SC,or just in the middel of a corridor if I have cloak....<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> I couldnt count how many marines walked past me when I was gestating

Opt1mus · October 2003

try evolving to onos/fade on top of the tank in the back corner of cargo (ns_tanith)

Forlorn · October 2003

If the server runs the /stuck plugin, then evolve on top of the hive. You can't be killed there very easily at all.

Not really you got 500 damage in an LMG and that thing empties pretty fast.

rennex · October 2003

Right next to the comm chair, they'll never expect it.

Windelkron · October 2003

a fair distance away from WoLs

Zig · October 2003

i like gestating in random areas deep and alone in enemy territory, for quick things like chamber evolutions.

it's like gambling.

Yeah, I always go onos while on top of hive, provided we don't have a JP/SG infestation...

Cleric_Epoch · October 2003

I fell through a floor on Tanith once. Between reactor room dbl res and west corridor. I was in a pit till hatched into a fade. It was pretty safe there, loads of marines walked over me. I could even fire acid rockets out of the floor at them. All the marines could see was my head.
Which as a fade has no hit box <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
Had to get redeption and shoot myself with acid rockets to get out though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Geminosity · October 2003

kinda weird thing with fades that might or might not apply to onos is that if you gestate on a ledge without enough headroom for your new evolution you'll magically 'pop' into existance at the next best point below... I've kinda used this for some interesting surprise attacks in the past XD

a_civilian · October 2003

I once tried to gestate to a Lerk at the top of Refinery on Bast, on one of those long beams that go across the room. About midway through the gestation, I fell through the beam and died when I hit the floor <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>. Since then, I have been careful to avoid gestating on thin surfaces.

<i>I once tried to gestate in the middle of the marines base...</i>

<b>That</b> didn't go too well...

Rush_Of_Peons · October 2003

i went fade in sub on ns_veil, fell thru the cargo door thingo on the floor and while we were under attack i managed to acid rocket 4 marines from my position but it kinda didnt work once we had no hives left, biut boy did i have a huge dc farm by then <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

They couldnt seige me coz they couldnt see me from comm vew, bein under the door and all.

Heres a sanp of it, didnt get the farm unfortunately <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>
