New Alien Structure Idea

I've been thinking about this for a while. You know how Jet Packers, they just fly around the map meanwhile the Frontiersman harass alien bases by showing up and running away when they feel aliens are near, well how about a building that Gorges can build that "Grabs" Frontiersman (except Mechs) and immobilizes them completely until they kill the Structure. This would be a good tactic to Hold and ambush Frontiersman when they decide to use Harass tactics. I would also suggest that one gorge would only be able to build one of these and has an HP of 150 or so. This would make it so that single Frontiersman rush and harass a futile attempt at trying to disorganize the enemy.

These alien structures would also be "invisible" and would need a scan to reveal these structures. But once the Structure latches onto you, it would turn visible.

I would also recommend these structures needing research of some sort to be able to build so that early spam of these buildings don't happen. I would ALSO suggest these buildings cost res of 5-10 and can only be built on top of creep.

The range of this structure would be the same range of a Whip (Maybe a but further)

    NS1 gorge had something called web that helped vs jetpacks.

    I agree that hives need some form of defence vs jetpackers, currently so many hives are easy enough to solo to very low health with a jetpack and assault rifle (generator, cargo etc, you know the ones I mean). Though I guess this wouldnt be a problem if lerk could do his job of anti JP properly.

    If they get hit by a bile bomb it should weigh them down.

    That would work too, but having a structure specific as this would be cool. Would also give another reason to play as Gorge if you're being repeatedly harassed
