<div class="IPBDescription">how to stop it</div> Most all of you have seen some one jump up on a hive and weld it to death. But there are was to stop this from ever happening. First once you get 2nd hive web the aera's were a jp'er could enter he flies into it and drops into a fleet of offensive chambers. If hes smart enouph to cary a welder wile he files, you can built directly ontop of the hive in some hive locations (this requiers you so go sulk climb on top then gorg again).

for all of you who think jp'ing a hive is cheap, it is just part of the game and you should be able to counter act the jp + welder combo.

    Where you can, build mini towers of lame at vent entrances and space defenses out around the hive. If you can get on top of the hive as a skulk with room to build (this isn't possible for all hives) then do it; if you can't, try to have offensive chambers with their tips above the crown of the hive around it.
    Mostly pray that you've got web by the time they've got JPs.

    A way to try to stop jetpackers is to build some oc at entrances of doors where the ceiling is one meter above the door. This is difficult to pass the oc's whitouth dieing (they will have to fly in the lil´ spot between the oc and the top frame of the door). Because if you build just a lil´wall of lame in a corridor, the jetpacker will just keep pressing his jump + crouch button till he has passed the oc, so you will need web above the lil wall of lame, with the underneath construction its not.
    Offcourse, in 95% of the cases the jetpacker will have hmg and will kill the oc's and def there in the opening, but it will prevent the jetpacker to fly straight to your hive.

    JP'ers on top of the hive? Skulk rush him. Simple.

    Either that or acid rockets over his head.

    The best way, of course, is webs on the ceiling <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The idea is that you JP a hive way before webs are availiable <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Also jetpack rush consists of getting a jetpack hmg before the 2nd hive goes up, and one good marine can take out hives easily with a jetpack hmg set.

    Edit:

    And if you DO have 2nd hive up, but not enough res for fades to acid spam them, then the best method of defence against jetpack hmgs, is building lots of OCs in the HIVE ITSELF (not outside), and web the area around the hive.

    Jetpack hmgers WILL get past youre wall of lame on most hives, as they just go through the vents
