Seige turret of *NUKED*

Vengeance

<div class="IPBDescription">Wtf is this!</div>Ok i was in a game, everything was going JUST GREAT, alien team was owning, we were just about to turn the tides, when all of a sudden white shockwaves of <span style='color:red'>*NUKED*</span> take out all of our chambers, and within 2 seconds 2 hives were dead... All that we had strived to work for was GONE. HOW IS THAT BALANCED! TELL ME! I finally found a good game that didn't lag every 2 seconds, teams were slightly even then everyone started being <span style='color:red'>*NUKED</span> and made teams unbalanced then this white shockwave crap happened. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!

EDIT: Oh i found out what happened, and it didn't make me feel anybetter, they place 2 seige turrets near our hives, and magically they shoot ANYTHING withing 40meters and do 500 DAMAGE! Yah ok thats fair, give them a nuke that is free of charge once its built and fires like a gatling gun, oh and did i mention it goes through WALLS!

EDIT again: Don't get me wrong, i love this game soo much, Flayra and the NS team did an insane job.

I must say that, yes the siege cannon is a pain in the ### when you are an alien. Aliens should have a similiar type of building to even out the sides. But hey, if the team works together they can destroy it.

Where was your defense?  You shouldn't let them build those so close.  Oh, and I suggest not complaining about balance until after the patch comes out.

ok let me clear this up, i wasn't yelling about balance, cause i know the playtesters would have seen this. What im saying is, it appeared out of no where. I know because i set up the defenses and was patrolling as an Onos, on every level and every entrance. Unless i totally screwed up, i didn't see a single seige turret near the hive i was gaurding, nor any of the defense that was placed (well teh defenses that WERE there). As for my team? we had the marines trapped in the holoroom and their base at NS_Hera.

I would be a little more careful with your choice of words. Using "###" and any of its varients is a sure way to get flamed on most boards. But, I do agree that siege turrets are a little borked. Actually, I think turrets in general are messed up (offense chambers are too weak, marine sentries too strong, there's no real way for aliens to take em out, etc). I think that if marines get turrets that go through walls, aliens should get sunken colonies or something that goes through walls as well. That's my opinion.

That's the whole point of the Siege Turrets.  Blowing tightly packed structures to smithereins.  A little bit of scouting would have prevented the Siege Turrets from ever getting that close.
