<div class="IPBDescription">with Marines?

    The Commander is the only player who can PLACE structures. However the marines must build them by using thier USE key (usually E) on the unbuilt struture. This will build it.

    This should prolly go in the New Player forum, and all marines can build stuff my holding the 'use' button (default e), but only commanders can place the buildings.

    edit, oops lol, i guess daxx was still typing his reply when i was lol. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Further info: On the Kharaa (alien) side, only the Gorge unit can build and place structures. However you can have as many gorges as players, unlike the Marines Commander. Also multiple marines building a structure will build it faster.

    But remember that turrets alone aren't effective against fades or onii (especially if they have regeneration). But they do rip up skulks pretty good <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I don't get it, NS has recently received this huge wave of n00bs
    that can't seem to figur out the help files.
    I get asked this same question almost everyday, didn't used to.
    What happened? Did cs 1.6 lose it's charm (what charm?).
    And now they're flooding to ns?

    I think it's good to see new players that want to learn.
    Feels like we lost alot because of 2.0 <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You didn't call them "turrents". I like you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    By the way, you might want to check that it's safe before you build things. You can't use your weapon, and your motion tracking (if any) is disabled, while you're constructing.

    Welcome to the forum ZeroX, and have fun with NS.
    In the New Player Forum are some stickied strat-guides and explanations for both Alien and Marine Gameplay.
    That should contain everything you need to start.

    some tips though.

    1: obey the commander ( means follow the waypoints)

    2: don't hop into the commchair before you know the maps and the game

    3: As gorge on alien side, if there has not been build an upgrade yet, ask your team which one they like first.

    4: there is a Map that can be activated by pressing the C key by default

    These simple rules will save you from the most hate messages from "l337"-players and from being kicked of the less newbie
    friendly servers....

    have a good time

    P.S. don't let yourself get discouraged by some hostile comments on these boards or during the game. There are more firendly players than not,
    its just the fact that the a**holes scream louder.

    empty Vessels make the most noise...

    Alien structures will build themselves, slowly. They will also heal themselves slowly. These can be sped up by a gorge either holding USE near them or, for healing, healspraying them. The healspray heals any alien sturcture or player, including hives. Hives and defence chambers also heal all aliens and structures.

    what is with your attitude electriacal tape? basically all of your posts that ive read have involded you either flaming someone or berating them. zerox asked a simply enough question, which perhaps should have been in the new player forum but what does it matter? im glad we have players trying to learn about the game instead of a load of people running around maps with no idea what they're suppossed to do. try to be nicer or dont bother replying <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    One word Menix:
    BANT.


    *cough*

    New player forum is a good place to ask any questions. and please, before you go and try to blam something about NS, give it a thurough test from both sides. (AKA: dont play marine 100% of the time if you can)

    otherwise you might find that devouring a jetpacker in mid-air as a onos is harder then you think... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    and please, know that some weapons (like devour) are the only counters to some of the enemy's tech (devour > ha) and some tech is greater then certain evolutions, but not always (HMG > onos. HMG <= afew smart fades) and no situation is truely hopeless; but it can get hopeless enough to <i>look</i> hopeless even when it really isn't.
