    That's a plugin some servers used called lerklift - it's not part of the normal game.

    I think the lerk should get bilebomb, just because it's funny to divebomb turret farms.

    Actually....no. Just keep it the way it's supposed to be.

    Yes because nothing is better then being picked up by some nub **** lerk on a pub and being unable to do anything about it. At least onos are slow and cost 75 res.

    BBs were originally a Lerk ability, actually.

    As for Lerklift, I have this penchant for managing to avoid servers that use it.

    It's quite interesting, but imo a lerk+healspraying gorge flying around killing everything in the early game is just too powerful to be included in vanilla NS. Though shooting said pair of aliens out of the air is most satisfying. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If lerks possesed that ability then it would be a far too strong creature for 30 res.

    (lift a marine and drop him to the floor for instakill.)

    You could increase his cost or weaken other slots to compesate.

    It's an attractive option I think, along with lerkspike. But then, Lerk is my fav0rite class ... meh. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Keeping in mind that gameplay > realism so what it should/shouldn't be able to do based on real world examples isn't the true argument, I'd be really suprised if I found out a <a href='http://www.npca.org/wildlife_protection/wildlife_facts/condor.asp' target='_blank'>California Condor</a> (largest scavengers, 9' wingspan) could pick up even a quarter of its body weight, let alone a human.

    Birds of prey typically pick things up that are smaller than themselves <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    lol, lerk = The Indigo!

    but yea, it would be nice to experiment with. It'd be fairly balanced if the marine could knife the lerk as he is being carried. That way the lerk would be taking a big risk in grabbing the marine if he was already hit below 120 HP by prior LMG fire (because the marine could easily slash him 4 times with the knife and kill the lerk before it dropped him.)

    Prehistoric doesn't really mean, Prephsyics. While it might be slightly more efficient in it's flight model. It would not be by enough to let it carry something larger than itself, at least not by the size difference of a lerk to a human.

    You can knife the lerk that picks you up if ya marine <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    And the plugins are:

    lerklift

    superlift

    for confusions sake

    lerklift = pick up gorge only

    superlift = pick up gorge, skulk, light marine and to pick up HA and Onos u need adrenaline

    Alot of people who join my server love this plugin!

    I did take it off for a few days but then they decided enmass to my forums and demand that it was put back on over 75 ppl asking for it mainly regulars u just can't ignore!

    The lerks like to feed me marines they fly them to a high point and drop them and i catch them with devour. That makes the most satisfying meal!

    Superlift FTW <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Lerk with adren picks up a HA HMG marine, pancakes up asap and drops him. That's 35 (15 + 15 + 5) res gone in the blink of an eye. Seriously, no.

    *blink*

    howmany areas in NS Maps are highenough to kill (or even segnificantly damage) a marine from jumping?

    this required the lerk to grab a rine and then get to an area where there is either an elevator, a huge hive room like refinery, or pits of dewm.

    I think it is amusing, and as per usual.

    ns_nothing Marine Start is a good place for this, you swoop through and drop a marine down the hole, if you get the timing right and don't get shot to crap.
  • DepotDepot The ModFather Join Date: 2002-11-09 Member: 7956Members
    No, no, no! As a lerk using superlift you DON'T drop the jarhead, you hold on to him until he dies fewlz. If you drop him you get no points for the kill, if you hold on to him until he dies you GET points for the kill.

    Do the math ... duh. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    lerklift is fun on siege maps.
    You just try to keep the gorges away from unbuild RTs and Hives and later kill yourself and your cargo in a stupid rush.
  • uNCLEsAMuNCLEsAM Join Date: 2005-01-17 Member: 36139Members
    It is kinda fun, but it gets REALLY annoying and frustrating when a Lerk picks up marines 5 at a time (5 lerks and 5 rines) and just drop them from 100 feet, and then hit the chair. I would be more-so ok with it if the rines could aim upwards and shoot them, and not have the ability to pick up heavies without adrenaline.

    It is fun depending on ya amusement level.
