<div class="IPBDescription">Does the hive heal itself?</div> Anyone done any testing on this? As for now you can hear the splush splush sound but does it actually heal itself?
In previous versions the hive would start the game at some low amount of health and slowly heal itself up to full, which meant that a marine rush would f*ck you over. From this I conclude it must be healing itself... or there's a gorg hiding inside it using heal spray <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yes it does, but as far as i know that healing is very slow. So if you want to make that hive survive after few marine rushes, you should place at least 2 def chambers under it.
Someone said that the hive healing rate is b0rked on itself, so that it only heals 1 point... can someone check this? Shoot with 1 LMG shot on the hive, listen how many pumps there are... I think I'll go check that now. EDIT: Very odd, it pumped 6 times from a single LMG shot. 1,1 heal rate?
It heals at 20 points per second like usual. When the hive is fully healed, you'll hear a few extra "pumps" from the hive and only the hive. Not sure why. Maybe its to signal full health or something. All I know is that you can hear the D chambers healing the hive as well then they will stop and the hive will then "pump" a few extra times.

HIves do heal them self's. There is a health ring on the hive. Full health for a hive is 6000. There is a simple way for the hive to heal faster while in game. Have your gorg put 3 defence towers at the base or derectly under the hive. It will heal the hive and other alines verry fast. <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> matty.

I believe this is being addressed in NS v1.1
couldn't resist :-D
Hive-pumping, that funky pumping <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
