If you lose the cc, how do you get another?

<div class="IPBDescription">Doesn't the cc build ccs?</div>If the comander decides what to build next, and his CC is destroyed and no others are left on the map, does that mean that the Frontiersmen can't build anymore?

Same with the hive. How many hives do you need to be a Babbler? If you can transform into one without a hive, then the aliens could rebuild a base without any buildings left after an attack, right?

So if you lose your last hive or CC, is that it? No chance at sneaking off to build another somewhere else and still put up a fight?

Yes, the marines can (and probably should) build a backup CC. This is definitely a good idea--if your only CC has been destroyed, you are out of luck.

On a side note, the builder alien (lvl 2) is called a Gorge. The Babbler is the Gorge's three-hive attack.

the CC has alot of hp, he should be able to place one before it explodzorizes on him

And yes, the aliens can build a new hive without any hives left, but they only have the lvl1 to fight with, and the lvl 2 to build with, and most hives will probably have been fortified by marines, complete with turrets, so that no-one can build there.

Basicly, if you lose all of your hives/ CC and hove no other CC's, you are screwed. gg, nextmap.

Last I heard, the Command Console could also be repaired by a welder.  Just make sure that at least every other marine has a welder.

And you can evolve into a Gorge without any Hives online.  You need one Hive to become a Lerk, two to become a Fade, and three to win the match.

Oh yeah, Gorge. I knew that!  I read the reasoning behind the name and confused it with Babblers. Knew it had something to do with the mouth.

Jeez, and to mock me, it is right over there in the clickable smileys to the left.

No, the CC can not be repaired from a completely destroyed state. It can be repaired as long as it hasn't been destroyed though.
