<div class="IPBDescription">very very very fun.....</div> Theres this steam server i play on exclusivly now, its called "small fort". This server has a plugin that alows a default lerk to pick up light marines. When you pick up a marine they lose whatever weapon they were currently holding, but they can still shoot you with what other weapons they have, although the knife is by far the most effective. You can also pick up heavys IF you have the adreniline upgrade. Nothing funner than picking up a marine and droping him from the top of Viaduct LOL!

Will lerklift or marinelift ever be permenetly implemented into the REAL ns?
cause its a barrel O' fun

    it takes away from the realness that NS is supposed to have... this would be like adding one of those "You are here (points to onos stomach)" sprites in place of the default devour sprite...

    It's fun, but it shouldn't be implemented by the developers.

    I doubt that it will be permanently implemented in NS. It seems more like a gimmick than something that would actually add to gameplay. While it sounds fun, I don't think it has much of a real use.

    Its has alot of use! first off lifting gorges is the safest and fastest way to transport them. < how much more usefull can it get?

    ALso try useing silence and swoopign down pick up a marine and droping him
    and killing him. His other marine buddys will think nothing of it since they heard nothing but a Thump and a suicide sprite. Not only that but a lone Ha with a welder and an HMG is gonna get killed! first you pick him up, so he drops his primary(HMG), then you carry him a bit away, drop then proceed to spike him/ bite him while he futily tries to defend himself with a welder.

    i mean comone cant you see the usefullness in this? what about droping has in pits? insta kill.

    So it takes alot of skill out of using Lerks, you mean? I can't wait for swooping bite kills in 3.0.
  • NightCrawlerzNightCrawlerz Join Date: 2003-04-18 Member: 15609Members
    please elaborate on your vauge statment that the requirement of skill is lost?

    yeah, i doubt it will be implemented, its just one of those things that could possible take away MORE from the game, then could possibly add it. Although i think it would be neat to implement that in one of flayra's future developments <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ever spent a thought on game balance ?
    Here comes the heavy train you worked hard for, about to take down that hive.
    Now, the aliens have 2-3 lerks, they fly in, take an equal number of heavies, drop them in some pit and there goes the heavy. Not only that its very unfair to the heavy since he is getting killed by a way lower lifeform, but also he loses his first weapon.
    The lerks do it 2-3 times, and then there is no more heavy train.

    You really think the lerks are going to get even CLOSE to a heavy train?

    It's still silly but fun though.

    Good point, but the original poster said that it works on <b>light</b> marines.

    Thats overpowered. A lerk shouldnt be able to "swoop in" and then pick up an HA, and then drop him from a high place. Please.

    I wouldnt mind lerk lift (the orginal) to be implanted, but definantly not this.

    There's a difference Windelkron. Rendering an HA hapless at no risk at all to yourself like that is exactly the same thing as mind control, which isn't in the game for good reason.

    I think the game lasted 184 minutes in the end (which ended because of a map change). In this game the marines just built turrets and camped in their base with GL'ers. As the aliens we has all their resource nodes except the marine start and continually went Onos or Fade, yet we couldn't take them out (this was in ns_lost). I'm not sure how to balance this, maybe make turrets cost more or something but marine turtling is just about the only thing I don't like about this game <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    I agree with Haze. Tho it is funny to watch, it would TOTALLY unbalance the game and there would be many people leaving NS (probably).

    THink of it this way, would you be happy if you 4 onos (or was it oni?) attack was massacred by jetpackers who could pick you up and drop you onto a natural hazard (like the hole/blackness outside Hera.) any you couldint fight back?

    The most used tactic I see using with super lerk is to grab a rine then fly him into a WOL, the fact that this works on heavies is just cheap, the chances of a HA rine killing the lerk on the first swoop are low and after that hes just screwed.
