Lies.
Stacking them into huge towers is, obviously, but a well-placed WoL can make all the difference.
Well, Babblers used to be the funnest thing.
*HINT* Bring Babblers Back!
I never have the res to build for fun. Every point has to count because res is so painfully slow.

This is not the case:
-at endgame
-when the marines are awful
-when you're mid-to-late join to a game that started small
-in one-on-one, where you're usually doing everything just for fun
-on siege maps
-on pretty much any fun map, really
-when you're some idiot screwing around in a vent because you don't care

none of those situations are fun. oc's are useful only against jp's.
They are for people who like stacking up chambers and other stupid crap.
Stacking OC's isnt that usefull I think, I works a bit better if you place them in such a way that they arent noticed at first, by placing them behind wall next to a door, so that the marines who pass by get shot at least once.
Adding some Defensive Chambers makes such "traps" survice even longer.
One or more Sensory Chambers makes it even better.
I love laming up the entire map with OCs on a LAN game, switching to Marine, and seeing if I can get through them all ^_^
BattleTech, 16x10=160 res. By that amount you could have gone onos twice, and left 10 res to boot. Onos: all-around-hamburger. WoL: one place one siege waste (and alone/pairs they cannot even hold against one marine) . Yea, both are kinda waste of res, but at least onos can devour and effectively prevent them from getting the PG up, or meanwhile take one of the outposts down.
IIRC, been a while since I played NS.
I don't stack OCs though. That's just a waste. An OC on top of another will often block its fire.
I stack DCs at the hive (siege splash doesn't seem to go up or down, so my DC's last longer, thank you very much.)
I stack two sensories on top of each other on a third chamber (Knifing marines may find the bottom chamber, and may even find the one on top of it. It's rare, however, that they find the top chamber. It's actually better if the marine kills the chamber underneath but doesn't realize the sensory is up high. I've actually *sat* my little gorgy butt on a "floating" sensory chamber and watched marines walk underneath me knifing all around looking for a chamber.
I stack any chamber I can underneath vents so I can sneak my gorgy butt up into them.
When I make bases, I make them vertical. Onos have an easier time getting around them, grenades fall to the bottom.
Stacks are your friend.

Heh. I ended up with over 50 kills the entire game just from being Gorge off those 160 res of uselessness. Onos is just a walking pancake that get's chewed down in less than 100 round's from an HMG.
Bragging a bit, aren't you? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> If you got over 50 kills from *OC's*, the marine team deserved to get their **** whooped... seriously. Any commander would curse a team like that to the deepest pit. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I mean, c'mon; two marines can KNIFE down an OC with a med-pack or two.
It was something like instant death for any LA marine as all 8 OC's would fire at once, and it did a good job kill HA too.
They become more imune to sieges and make it easier for all aliens to run around them in battle while getting healed.
2 towers of 6 dcs are imune against 4 sieges.
I dont like onoses that stomp stacked towers down for fun.

We're talking about eight all in the same place. IIRC, OC=20 dmg, so he'd be doing 160 per full volley. That's enough to kill any light armor who just peeks around the corner instantly, and HA, cocky as they usually get, would try to charge in and be cut down.
