<div class="IPBDescription">What are they?</div>What exactly can the aliens build? Ive heard about marine buildings a lot but not alien. What do the alien sentry guns shoot? Do they have any type of buildings that the marines cant build (factory type things).

    - Hives
    - Upgrade Chambers (Defense, Sensory, Movement, each with abilities in the buildings as well as providing upgrades)
    - Resource Towers
    - Turrets
    - Webs

    /me hurts Conan.

    Gorges (alien builders) can build:

    <i>Offensive chambers.</i> These are ugly, spikey, and shoot globs of something or other at marines.
    <i>Defensive chambers.</i> These provide healing for nearby aliens and buildings, and enable defensive upgrades.
    <i>Movement chambers.</i> These can be used to teleport to the nearest hive, and enable movement upgrades.
    <i>Sensory chambers.</i> These mark visible marines in hive sight, parasite any marine that touches them, and enable sensory upgrades.
    <i>Resource Towers.</i> Placed on resource nozzles, these harvest resources for the aliens.
    <i>Hives.</i> Hives can only be built in 3 locations on each map. The number of active hives determines how many upgrades can be researched, what life forms can be evolved to, and what weapons are available.

    It's a class ability, but so is building.

    You select it like a weapon, point at the wall, and fire. Then point at another wall and fire. A web is formed between those two points (as long as they're not -too- far apart).

    Which would certainly explain why I only ever see one of your webs at a time.   <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    /my smooches coil *

    Juicy details!

    I always wanted a complete summary of the alien buildings and what they did.

    --Scythe--

    P.S. I now foresee a post by coil along the lines of "Complete? tehehe".
