<div class="IPBDescription">exploitable</div> I was playing a game on nothing, and by one of the nodes (in generator something) you go up immediatly right then theres an elevator, the aliens had made 4 offense towers and god knows how many defense chambers. it was impossible for us to use that elevator to get to their last hive. we tried for ever. we made 6 count them SIX seige turrets and after 15 minutes nothing was killed. then they ended up getting their second hive back and i figured screw this and left the game. are there any plans about using mass defense chambers and elevator blocking?

edit: the offense chambers were made below the elevator.

    What about perhaps going to the other enterance and pushing your way through there?

    All of the hives have at least 2 enterances. I've seen that block several times, but the marines have found other ways around it.

    Take care.

    Well, that's when you get a few of your buddies and go find it yourself...

    Minor hijack: Ladyskunk, are you from COJ? I've only known one player with that name, so I figure I might as well confirm.

    Ya, the elevator "bug" is really just a smart tactic used by smart alien gorges. There are always 2 (or more) way into an alien hive. Just have to look for them.

    Guilty as charged Kiz, I was about to ask you the same thing. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think I've seen psychosis on one server, but may not have been the right one. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's only an exploit if it causes un-naturalities....

    I mean, in th real world, any alien can build stuff under elevators, and the elevator wont come down. Nothing special here, right?

    Now stop whining and go take that hive, soldier.

    Well, honestly, I can see why an elevator would squish a building or something, and it's something to be looked at in a future version of NS.

    The siege cannon problem is one we're looking at too...

    i don't really think blocking elevators is an exploit because in real life things can block elevators, just depends how strong they are against each other. also besides that, in real life things can break elevators and this game doesn't enable that.



    about the siege cannons. i seriously think there may be a bug where they do no damage. because 2 of them blasted an alien resource collector for several minutes with no damage and i could see nothing else around the resource collector, because the siege turrets had destroyed those, or maybe it was the grenades and machine gun fire. we had siege turrets, machine guns, and grenades destroying everything in that room except that one alien resource collector. i never did find out how it was destroyed in the end though. maybe knives.
