<div class="IPBDescription">Humping the armoury...not no more.</div> I am really fed up with complaints about how I command, which is quite good.
This is it, now dont say AHH THATS **** at first, because if you think about it, it is actually good for pub servers, as they are all armoury humpers at large.
I start out with two IP's, and absolutly no armoury. I tell two good shots that I know, or have seen, to stay at base. I tell the rest to move out and find me res nodes and stay there, tell me where they are, and I'll start building. I build each res node with a TF because its better to KEEP a res node, than to loose it several times. Thats the key to better res, guarding...if you got no guards (ie good shot guarding it, or turrets) your over. Too many skulks own res too early.
I usually, by two minutes, have three res nodes, and a hive, all running with TF and RT and at least five turrets at each. There is STILL NO ARMOURY.
I build the armoury at the NEW hive! (No, not relocate...) because this is the easiest way to MOTIVATE MY TROOPS TO MOVE THEIR ****!!!
After they suit up, we attack another hive, and secure it. This is all done within about ten minutes. By now I do have motion tracking, and two hives secure, NO UPGRADES, NO UPGRADED ARMOURY, and NO PROTOLAB.
The whole goal of this is to MOVIVATE MY DAMN TROOPS! I have too many people saying, Give me a welder, or HMG, SHOTTY!!! or just humping the armoury, waiting around all day. I owned a lot using that, yet people still dont do it.
Yes, when I'm on my usual server, people let me do this, and I usually win...plus I build an armoury, because they know that they get **** if they hump the armoury.
Tell me your thoughts...

Everyone knows it's just better to mass RT, and then mass tech.
Turrets... are worthless.
Other than that, yes, I too hate armory humpage.
drop four shotties, and two pack sof mines, then recycle everything and drop a CC in the aliens main hive, they cant kill it by the time we get there and my troops, fearing for teir lives, actually fight pretty well, and we can take over the area, if it was the only hive, then hive rush success, otherwise we are in a decent position over the enemy,
If you and a team of random pubbers can get this done in under two minuets (I think just having three res nodes with "at least" 5 turrets at each is impossible in under two minuets) then you, sir, are amazing.
yes, i too would like to see/participate in this <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

It's been thought of before, and it sounds like it works great <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
After we secured 5 nodes we got a constant res flow. And after about 3 minutes we got 300 res all the time. We even fought back fades and then I killed their 2nd hive....
The big problem in NS is that everyone (incl myself) think that soem strats are complete BS/won't work etc, even if they tried it ONCE.
Point is, you can't judge a strat unless you play it on several different servers, versus different levels of opponents.
Our (good!!!) alien team got slaughtered yesterday by a bunch of rines, that were everywhere on the map with 1 or 2 guys. And yes, we got butchered...
My 2nd point is, everyone in NS should become more tolerant of strategies, and be WILLING to play them.
TA for reading this worthless post <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Planting the armory on a hive location is risky though , the armory humpers are already vulnerable enough when they are at main base... if they stand like sitting ducks on alien territory...
Also , the armory is compulsory in maps like Caged , Tanith and Bast where there are lots of weldables , the marine team needs to lock them as early as possible.
As was said before, what's the ip to your server?
It would probably take a minimum of two packs of mines to fully cover a resource node, yet even then it isn't safe.
The crafty skulk can ceiling walk, drop on top of the res node and eat it. He only dies when the res node is dead and he drops on tops of the mines.
This turret strategy sounds interesting. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I'd rather people learnt not to armoury hump than win games.
But hey, do what you want, some ppl will never realize the fact that they will die before emptying two clips, especially after the aliens get cara (make that 1 clip when they have cara)
Was comming on Eclipse, built obs and phase in base, took EC and built an armory there and then in CC when we took it.
Never had to worry about the hives going down <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
First of all (Oh ya, speech, I can feel it comming...my fellow NS Players, humpers, and losers...)...Alright first of all I would like to thank your support. Feels so great that someone endorses my strat so much, as a matter of fact, I got more than one, about the whole thread is. Yes, I want to kill ALL armoury humpers. This is absolutly rediclious that they NEED full ammo, and only use half a clip by the time they die. I dont even use the armoury when I spawn in, I say, where do you need me commander, when he responds, I say, alright, heading there now. I dont hump the armoury for five hours, then ask where am I supposed to go.
Second of all (Whos cool), this is so sweet, I am a hero. "Quote: Your my hero, 0range! Unquote." *Huggles computer* thankyou.
Third...lets get down to buisness. I did make a mistake, its not two minutes, more like seven, I must have had my ego bar set to high that day. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> For all of you that think that turrets sux mid game, your wrong. Most aliens do not survive five turrets, NICLY PLACED, with level three carapace. Thats only +20 armor may I remind you, so I must dissaggree. The five turrets are a good addition to getting more res, as the aliens learn that they will NOT attack that, or it is a quick death. I get more res, than to keep rebuilding it over, and over, and over again, you would be surprised. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
I will tell you the IP's of the servers that I play on, so you can see me use this. And yes, I do get called n00b, and a stupid **** for not putting down an armoury, and get ejected by a bunch of horney n00bs and their horney women mistress friend to build an armoury. I'm sure their all taking out their velcro wallets and pulling out their condems for a gang bang on the armoury as I get ejected. But...enough about sex. That is a very good strat, because the hives get secured fast (men are flying out of base) and then the aliens are barily able to keep up with us. We can get in siege range, and destroy their final hive. The TF is not such a bad unit, if you place turrets at the end of long hallways, they get good range on the aliens, who have to be up close to the turret to kill it. But...lets not forget one thing... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
NS is a game designed to have fun. You have to have a strat designed to keep your troops busy, so they are having fun as well. The turrets are a sublament for the troops that want to go off and do better things than sit around and guard an RT from half-hour spaced attacks. You have to create a fun enviroment to win the game first, to motivate your troops, not have them sit around all day for your benifit. Its kinda like those sim theme parks, or those kinda games. You need to keep your troops happy, and happy with their commander. If they ask for a health pack, do not ignore them. Ask them to use the need health key, and you'll be right there, or calmy explain to them that they are not in a needed postition, and they dont need any more health, it would not benifit the team.
You want to design a strat that will make your troops have fun. I have never seen ONE person therouly enjoy a JP/HMG rush. I dont do those things, I get one hive, and start saving up for HA and HMG, wile attacking their main. You can secure the second hive in the process, but you should best stay away from it, and go for all the res you can find. The best games are 12/12 or 10/10 that have level three upgrades, HA, HMG, and are fighting fades, and its a constant swing of the game back and forth. THOSE are the best games. Yes, you still want to win, but dont lame out, dont lame a win, make the win FUN. Thats the whole point of the game is to have FUN, give yourself a challange. By not giving them an armoury, the troops are more aware of the danger level around them. Base just doesnt look as warm and fuzzy as it used to without fifteen people humping an armoury. They need to get out, and learn to conserve ammo, while moving in groups. They need to use teamwork to win, not rambo it all the way, thats how you run out of ammo.
I guess I just based this strat on having fun, because when I played, I always wanted to move with other people, like three in a group. You have a lot more fun if you use teamwork than rambo.
Keep the thoughts flowing, and I'll go ahead and get the IP's posted after I post this...hold on.
