<div class="IPBDescription">Lost a hive to those scummy marines?READ</div> Alrighty. This might have been posted already, since it is a very simple tactic. Well, if dem damned marines turreted the hell out of a hive, and you want it back to extract glorious revenge, follow these easy steps.
#1 Get 3-4 Fades.
#2Find a hallway that leads toward the hive
#3Get a lerk
#4 get a gorge to build 3 D chambers at the middle of the hall.
#5Let the fades nuke the hell outa the turret chamber with acid rocket while lerk goes crazy with umbra cloud.
A VERY SIMPLE tactic, and it is very, very effective as well. The only hard part is coordinating it with fellow players and getting them to try and do the plan right. I have got people to follow along and do this plan, succesfully to I might add. But other times, people don't care, resulting in me loosing chunks of my hair when we are down to one hive and me yelling "I TOLD YA SOOOOOOO JUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOO N00000000BBBBBBZZZZZZZZ" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
But it is tried and tested. With a good group of fades, you will be evolving to onos in no time. Happy Huntin.

1)Become a skulk
2)Rush past turrents
3)Get behind safety of factory and eat it
4)Clean up defenseless base
It's downright sad how badly configured most defenses are. There is almost always safe zone near the factory. The only dange is marines, and unless they're armored, they can often be dispatched.

One major flaw in my mind...
...WHERE'S THE TEAMWORK!! I know aliens are a more DM and loner kinda group, but it's always better to attack a heavily armed base with more n one guy. Anyhoo, in some cases it might work, but if them marines turreted the hell outa the hive, I suggest mine.
Teamwork is the key to strength in this game and wherever you go, if you have a pack of six fades with carapace, little can stop you.
Anyway, forget the acid rockets. Swipe is far more effective and with defense chambers and a gorge behind you, there is no reason to care about health.

i do this so often its nt even FUNNY.
well, actualy, it is. very funny. 100s of resources on a base and whamo! killed by a 0 resource alien with a few chomps. sometimes when the commander has half a brain cell and puts a turret nearby, it takes a couple tries, but it seems like along time before marines come to help. by then, its all over.
While it may not stand up to Fades, in most of the games I play, the aliens don't even get Fades. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I'd better leave before I get flamed to death.
-PD
One thing, if there are no marines present a single fade back'd by DC's can solo a turret'd hive. Hell, sometimes when team work was lacking i built my own god damn DC's.
Oh, well. You gotta do...
