1.1 Gorge Sucking Questions

Just got a few things i was wondering about 1.1 gorge node sucking.
1. Can more than one gorge suck a node at a time?
2. Is it possible for those anoying people ( the kind that go gorge to get fade quicker in 1.04) to go gorge and just sit sucking a node till they get fade/onos or whatever without helping the team out?
3. If they suck too long do they explode?
( I personally think 3 would be a good solution to 2 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )
If anyone that knows could answer id apreciate it, cheers <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Now, they'll just be doing nothing for your team but not hurting your res income <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

1. [EDIT: SHOOT SORRY!!!! I was wrong! Look at Hida's post below!]
2. Unfortunetly yes, although this might be a good thing for your team, because you no longer will be taking res from your team. It could be a wise tactic for one guy to rush to fade/onos, to help out your team. There will always be the jerks though. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
3. While that would be hilarious, and the idea of randomly exploding gorges brings a smile to my face, nope, sorry.
hmm, not exactly ...
*normal gorg* (gorg that want to do something for the team) would make an res tower, so 'sucking' the res nozzle and saveing for fade/onos hurts the income a bit ... especially at the beginning, because the "unnormal gorg* ( <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> ) won't make rt

Thanks for replying so quick.
Looking forward to 1.1. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> cheers
Gorges can share a node but sucking speed is halved so it's usually not a good idea. And yes a gorge can suck and suck and go Onos, it's time consuming and doesn't help the team out much. However even so, it's better than 1.04 lamer gorge as you can have several viable gorges at once to help make up the "sucking" gorge. We're still in the process of finding a balance.

Actually a normal gorge will suck for a while, plop down a few chambers that he needs (upgrades/ocs) then put up a resource tower, because you can't suck on the node after you cap it.

[Edit: YIPE! fixed my mistakes. Sorry about the confusion. Man, I feel dumb <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> ]
15 seconds: 15 res
30 seconds: 26 res
60 seconds: 41 res
120 seconds: 69 res
i thought the res suck to begin with was 0.4 res a sec.
so 15 res would be. 37 seconds.
proove me wrong if i am.
But anyway, how would that physically be possible? There'd be some res leakage for sure...
15 seconds: 15 res
30 seconds: 26 res

so you are saying you could see onos in the first 2 minutes?
i doubt it.
Yes you can onos pretty quick, but an onos without any upgrades is crap, even to 0/0 lmg marines.
First this adds the value of everyone being gorgs at the beginning with out slowing the res pool, however, one must think that this is a strategy game so the whole team can't only gorg or it will be very difficult to win. These additions to the alien race makes them more a teamwork goal, just like the marines as no longer will each skulk run off on its own. The alien team must now decide who will be what and when for the benefit of the whole team.
But I hope this new trait of gorg sucking won't make everyone wanting to be gorg because that will really hurt the res pool and the overall team.
