Question About Gestion Time

I notice the gestation times for the aliens is quite long ( 28 seconds for lerk!) so my question is if your near a movement chamber and start gesting does the time decrease?

Thanks

    Not that I know of, but it's a very good idea.

    I'll go out on a limb here, and assume Flayra increased the Lerk gestation time to help marine early game rushes. Basically, in the early game if the marines try a full-on hive rush (with say, shotties), the aliens best defense is to have a few people go lerk, and spam spores at the oncoming marines. Increasing the gestation time allows the marines a chance to break through the skulks and get into the hive before having to deal with spores.

    A good change IMHO.

    so movement chambers only increase rate of fire of weapons structures , decrease build time for structures, gain energy faster only right? no decrease in gestation time?

    No, movement chambers fill up the stamina of nearby aliens, make OCs shoot faster and increase the skulk output of neabry hives. No decrease in build time, no decrease in gestation time. But I hear that an OC-MC combo is teh pwn.

    If I made 1 movement and 6 offense chambers around the movement, how many of the OC would actual be charged? lol also I gots to try that idea 1 DC and 6 OC on the outside <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
