Beacon And Digestion

Handman

I was thinking about the two as I was unfortunate enough to be digesting while our comm beaconed. Beacon recalls all marines from on the map, why shouldnt it do so from within the stomache of an onos?

I think it was to prevent a 15 res ability from being able to save a 25 res HA/HMG/Welder guy.

Seriously I think its better than you stay in the onos, balance reasons

Because the super magnet that the obs uses to tractor beam marines back to base is not strong enough to rip the heavy out of the onos. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There are just things like story and atmosphere, but there´s no place in nns for that :/

The real answer is bacterium. Nanites would favor marines.

Because digest takes a long time to kill and if marines can just beacon out of it then a devour kill would never happen. The marine could just tell the comm when he's close to dying and they would beacon as soon as the onos runs.

yep, the commander would most likely always opt out of losing 25 res worth or marine as opposed to only paying 15 res to make sure he doesnt die. If not he has to pay 25 res to reoutfit. Basically, it would be cheap and devour kills would never happen to HA. Your only choice left for killing Ha would be stomp and chomp with skulks, but beacon would stop that too so...

I the nanites are too busy trying to kill the ono's becaterium that they cant process the becon command fast enough
