    The ladder climbs the onos.

    With the 3 spikes on their back head.
    They lost their previous usage of catching jetpackers to climb ladders now.
    Before this nannites have done ladder climbing.
    now all nanites do is helping the onos to bunnyhop.

    another theory is that the onos does not climb the ladder, it just stomps the station down a little to place the onos (that did not change height in it) higher.

    Finally, an opportunity to say it: Bacterium! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes the onos doesn't even move at all it just moves the entire universe which may look like the onos is climbing laters or running or so. Same for the gorge since this is a <i>male</i> verison of the onos. *Also it's so hard to notice anyone seen on forums alot if they used to have an avatar and removed it.

    They should make it so onos can't climb ladders, or jump, or crouch for that matter, elephants can't jump, I don't actually know if elephants can crouch or not, but if they can, it's probably not called crouching so ya. Also, they shouldn't be able to turn on a dime like that, make them have to move forward to turn.

    All this would make onos suck crap so to rebalance them, make them a lot more buffer, and to get up ladders and whatnot, have lerks carry them like how helecopters carry tanks into battle.

    Would force more teamwork (that's supposed to be a good thing I think), and would give marines more strategies for stopping and killing an onos.

    If NS is ever ported to hl2 you could make the onos rip a platform or something down and use it as a ramp

    look its a gorge -> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hmm, I guess I was wrong about that LOCKED thing....either that or N_Zero has turned to the Dark Side!

    No that would just force us to give onos >2500 HP if they are to be of any use at all...

    hmm, about your thing on teamwork for Onos, MAYBE skulks and other stuff could climb the ladder while the onos repeatedly jumps on them as they move up??
  • R_A_CR_A_C Join Date: 2003-05-13 Member: 16273Members
    LOL these are some of the best reasons for teh pwnos going up ladders! Or, ladders going down the onos. or both at the same time! LOL!

    the BUS is actually a method to assist onii in climbing ladders
  • AaronAaron vroom vroom der party startah Join Date: 2002-11-05 Member: 7020Members
    Well you see...

    when it needs to climb the ladder the Onos starts a chemical reaction in its arse which produces hydrogen or helium so that its rear end is lighter than air and floats temporarily as it climbs up the ladder with its forepaws...

    perfectly logical explanation

    Microscopic gnomes with purple beards push the Onos up a ladder. You're all a bunch of noobs if you didn't know that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Eh... Four pages of speculation, and not a single reasonable one. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I think that by this time, we all can agree that there is none. It just happens, for balancing reasons. End of discussion.
