<div class="IPBDescription">Built by gorge for 15 res, activated by any alien or spit.</div>So there have been a few posts rolling around about gorge's there versatility and usefulness, buff them, buff them, thats cool. But I would like to see a new structure added to the kharaa arsenal. That being a Carapace bone wall / trap, web does its job by catching you, sticking you, same concept except its a structure that can be activated, on activation the base of the stucture instantly shoots huge carapace bone arms out of the ground like prison cell bars, between the bars are spinnerette that shoot webs between the bars to block movement, meaning this is a pritty tough structure in turn only grenade or fire can hurt this structure.

Anything standing on the bones is ether pushed off like phase gates or gibletted, I would prefer the latter. Well hidden under infestation, the base is activated and deactivated by kharaa use of E or gorge spit. Obiously if room permits fast thinking groups of rines would beable too boost over the top, but this bone wall is going to retract in about 15-20 seconds anyway, depends if its takeing a fair amount of damage from guns or knifes.

Basicly the gorge builds these nasty mofo's were they can be utalised most, usualy at that spot right were you step out and are in line of fire of OC's?

Or prahaps just behind oc's, if you try to make a break for it and ninja. consistant watch is what makes them useful, but they have been also know to buy a gorge time to escape or build a extra structure or heal it. The base the bone wall can easly be seen with kharaa vision, or a keen eyed vetran marine may notice the sus signs and be carfull about steping out, seige's own the carapace wall, they cant stand the high frequency sound waves that break up the bacterium. so a gorge, two Oc's and a bone wall could be your latest favorite ambush location.

It offers no upgrades and could prolly be 10 res cost but 15 seams to suit it, stop stop it from being spamed the wall begins to retract at 15 seconds giveing rines a good 5 seconds to duck jump over the wall with out it being re-triggered. if under heavy fire or knifes beings retracting at 10 seconds giveing about 8 seconds to duck jump over.

Ever ran up to a gorge to knife him, and have giant spikes impale your head as he chuckles, NO? well you could, one day.

    sounds good. good effort on the mapping.

    why not have a giant venus fly trap under the DI. Works the same as the current onos digesting trick!
