<div class="IPBDescription">I can't post in beat forum :(</div> I have just read that Savant has suggested removing the OC chamber limit in the next build and a few PT's agreed with him. I agree that the chamber limits are very restricted and should definately be raised to about 10 maybe even 12 but I really think removing the limit altogether is a very bad idea. I just want to say that if this change is made, which it sound like it is, could some of the PT's please try going gorge and spending the whole round droping OC's to defend the hive.

One of my biggest fears is that in public games a gorge will just spam the buggers eveywhere and prevent the marine from coming in even with GL's. Also, it would be possible to put like 20 DC's under a hive and make it almost impossible to kill without removing all of those DC's first.

So my point is this: removing the limits seems like a very abusable adjustment and I just want to remind the PT's (not trying to be pretentious here, just concerned) that their job is to test for abusable/lame tactics game less fun, so please try hive turtling and make sure it isn't gonna make for very long and boring rounds if the chamber limit is removed.

Thanks.

    Naaah, you read wrong. All the guy said was that gorges can now build ocs without hives or at 0hive. There was no removal of chamber limits.

If the aliens have the res to build 20 OCs in the hive area then let them spend a hundred res on OCs instead of Onos if that's what they want. Yeah that will make it harder for marines, but it also means one less Onos to deal with.

    OK so I got mixed about which one Flayra agreed with but the suggestion has been put forward by a PT.

    What's wrong with the marines having to use siege cannons?

    Any gorge who did that would be mental.

    A few res spent on siege by the marines and goodbye to an onos worth of res...

    aye i was going to mention sieges as well, but trotsky has a valid point if the limit was to be removed.

    Hmmm I'm not sure, with enough DC's it would take a siege a very long time. Anyway like I said this is a plea to the PT's to make sure that kind of strat wont allow llamas on pub servers to create a very long, boring round, I'm not saying that it necassarily <b>will</b> be abusable, just asking them to make sure it isn't.
