Hehe I've been doing this for a while. You can also do this with res towers if it gets to a 2 hive lock down. Then get your lerks into action to take out tf/pg at one of their bases.
The only slightly good thing for marines is that because the oc is attacking the structure, it won't attack the marine if he is far enough away. So he has an easy job to kill the oc.

Yes it is very funny. And I've made it work on bast before, I wonder why you have problems.
The thing is you might not want to waste 14 res in the beginning of the game when RTs and DCs are more important. And by the time you've got extra res of spare, it's almost midgame. Plus, the comm can just send one marine to destroy the OC anyway, unless you waste lots of res defending the now tactically useless MS.
ns_caged @ generator, i persuaded another skulk to join me and we climbed near the ceiling and didnt move but just kept on parasiting the Turret(s). When the comm sent someone to "take care of us" we just sat there until he left. Probably after fifteen minutes, the commander said
"sigh..all i hear is voicespam! silence!!"
a) marines were asking for stuff b) buildings were attacked c) CC too. d) some marine(s) used voice comm.
Now, just imagine that.. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. all i could do is laugh. btw, i have to try out that trick someday.
