Marine Armor Bug

Tieom · November 2002

I havn't done any massive testing on this (Because it would be unfeasible to do so), but it seems that marines always spawn with 50 armor, even when armor upgrades have been researched. You can be welded up to the 'upgrade' amount, but who sits in base with a welder welding EVERY marine who spawns, for the whole game?

I believe that it works as intended. But then, I could be wrong.

Yeah. The same thing happens with aliens. Upgrade to carapace and nothing will happen unless you get close enough to defensive chambers or a hive to 'heal' up the increased armor.

Me thinks this is intentional because it´s with both aliens and marines. Although aliens have a better chance to get it upped because the hive you spawn in upp´s your armor.

.... which plays very well into the 'aliens are solo, Marines must use teamwork' slant of this game.

errr not entirely true most of the games i have played have had teamwork on the aliens. eg gorges building defence chambers to help your team take the marine base.

Any way just because you start with 50 doesnt mean you dont get the effect of the upgraded armour, all it means is it will go quicker as it absorbs more of the hits.

With armor upgrades and aliens upgrades you just have to get people to heal or repair your armor. I would like to see marines spawn with the full amount of armor they have researched same for the aliens.

Its because the commander upgrades the armor on the ship under alien attack, and when you enter the ship you still have the standard issue armor.
