<!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif' /><!--endemo--> Obviously this is my first time posting in forums and as such I'm not sure if this belongs in General or Ideas forum but here goes. I've been playing NS pretty much well since it first came out and I've noticed one thing that still hasn't been fixed completely is the fades ability to acid rocket. The floor exploitation of it in most siege maps tend to end up in a nasty exchange of words between the marines in base and offending aliens. For all my time playing this game I've not been in a team nor played competively (even though I could at a practicing rate of 8 hours per day), is it okay to exploit like that seeing as how its not with the use of a illegal program ie hacks? Anyways the reason I brought this up is because I'm the admin on the WDF server (67.18.224.46:27015(Domimaro or Dominus is my sn)) and there tends to be a problem with that occasionally. I apologize ahead of time for any stupid questions I've asked - I know I probably shoud have signed up for forums a long time ago but the help willbe appreciated. <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Imo using acid rocket through a thin brush is an exploit (though I didn't even know it was still possible?), but considering the damage it does...
That weapon should just be removed. :/
Wrong.
You dont care about Siege Maps.
How do you wanna know if i do? Right, you dont know.
As far as whether it's an exploit or not: If you're a server admin, you make that decision. Is it intended in the game design? No. Is it possible anyway? Yes. Do you want people to do it or don't you? It's the same with something instant CC blocking vs. retreating aliens. Some people think it's an exploit and will insta-ban for it, some find it perfectly acceptable and won't do anything about it. Just make up your own mind, and then stick with whatever you decide. That's the only way anything important gets decided, really.
Exampel: If you clamp yourself up against a wall and shoot a spore into it. The spore will disappear in the void. I think it's the same with acid rocket.

You don't speak for me, or the patrons of 24/7 sieges servers.

or for me either
siege maps are fun every now and then.
Also if your the admin it depends on your personal preference, however shooting thru thin brushes is a well known exploit
agreed.
And leave off EEK, he's damn right (for once <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ). The devs will never change the game because its exploitable on a siege map. If it's exploitable on your map, fix it, but time is not going to be diverted from whatever else the devs are doing to change something that really doesn't matter much.
The creators of the maps released with the game fixed some spots where aliens could exploit this, (the vent above double where gorges shot bb through) why can't siege map authors?
yeah I thought so they can just run and try to avoid the rockets and hope they survive.

Or they can charge through the measly 25 damage (assuming they hit dead on) rockets and take the fade down with an HMG?
Yeah, gorge's spit does more damage than acid rocket...
