<div class="IPBDescription">more balance to game.</div>i have a good idea. if the marines Comes out with the electrocity defense their buildings (some of) the answer is the Aliens can be Spore-defend field the RT-s for example. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":0" border="0" alt="wow.gif" />

1) When an RT is attacked, every alien instantly knows, where marines have to wait for the commander to tell them.
2) Aliens move faster than marines in general (especially in early game)
but its been suggested quite offtan, tho not for ns two as such
the current mod how ever from memorie makes all res nodes have this or was it a press "e" upgrade for no res i cant remeber
its been a long time since i seen this mod and it one of the classic ones i like that and gorge spore mine, for 3 res gorge can lay a spore turd that can be additonaly cloaked with MC, this pooped onto the courner before a WOL gave a complete circle in effective madded defence
basicly rine would coem around courner all OC's would shoot at him he ducks back hes on low to no health to late he hasnt realsied but hes also standing in a cloud of spores just before the com can med pack hes usly low enough for gorge to walk up and put a single spit in him for the kill, what worse they usaly run back into said deadly vaporous cloud to try and kill you in a last ditch effort
the thing is with most res nodes rines can effectively jump res node defences and duck behind node and knife it, most res nodes dont allow you room to build around the node its self to cover most angles,
once behind said node rines can get a med and knife all day long, with spores they cant
also in ether a additional defence static defence type of chamber it would be nice to see a spore chamber or oc's drop aspore puff on them selves, it would be nice as currently i really dotn care if rine corner duck and take down oc's, but to simply run strait over the top of them and past for a couple of med spams, sigh, even as a gorge most time i cant stop this
SIGH" ok i guess the point i am getting across is i will welcome any change that stops or hinder's the enamy from skiping content
in the voice of balance, kharaa res needs its own defence as now the playing feild is lvled, both sides have warning.
res nodes allow cover for rines from additional static defences, oc's are also hindered by this skiping content as rines with or some time with out com support just jump strait over the top of them, i have seen them run gorntlets of consistant OC fire with me chaseing them, for them to get past the OC's then turn and kill me, and phase a hive
spore bombs i vote for from res from gorges and from oc's or additional chambers
eh i hope for a new game out side any ways where we currently keep every thing with minor modifications in some area's and all the current stuff plays a smaller lesser still important roll

It pisses me off that a ######bag comm can electrify RTs and slowly starve the alien team via attrition, while the aliens have no way to react (since, without the res for higher lifeforms, they can't take any of the electrified RTs down). Either remove the ability for marines to electrify RTs, or make alien RTs emit spores so a lone marine can't camp behind an RT and knife it down (similar to how electricity prevents a lone skulk from killing an RT).

If the marines can manage to get THAT many RTs electrified while the aliens still have no higher lifeforms, you deserve to lose. Also, in my experience, whenever I started to knife an alien RT down by myself, I was raped by a skulk approximately 5 seconds later.
I think the robot man should be able to be dropped a battery by the command and then he plugs it in and is electrified.

And why should only he be able to carry the battery?
If the battery is big, it would just look silly...
As for aliens not being able to take down electrified RTs, you *can* take them down with parasite, although it takes a decade. By the time Marines waste res on electifying nodes, the aliens have probably almost lost anyways, so I don't think it is a major problem. I don't really support spores on structures, just build an OC behind them or on two corners to prevent marines from staying behind it and hiding from OCs. If the map won't allow you to build OCs there it is more a map problem than a prompt for a "spore-cloud" for alien structures.

electrifying a marine RT costs 30res, the alien equivalent of 3 oc's near a RT is much better value for money. people would ALWAYS build 3 oc's instead of making an RT generate spores.
