Remember To Bite Through Grates

<div class="IPBDescription">marine placement is sometimes poor...</div> marines often will deploy turret factories or turrets on the topside of grates and metalgrid floors. a prime example of this is the resource nodule out the left exit of the fusion reactor hive in eclipse. at this node, turret factories and turrets will deployed on the metalgrid catwalks, which, as a friendly skulk, you may cling to the underside and bite through. remember that turrets only have a 60 degree vertical firing arc and therefore can't hit you when u are directly below them or above them.
disabling their turret factory first and leaving the turrets unscathed is good bait for the commander to send in a marine or two only to be munched on through the floor by your cloaked, chuckling self.
if u are lucky, as i was yesterday, the turret factories fortifying the reactor hive will also be placed on the catwalks...for some reason marines never look down. they should climb walls more to think in 3 dimensions. <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo-->

    yea, also they usually only protect 1 side of the turret factory, so a lot of times u can quickly get past them with minimal damage and chew on that turr. fact!
