Well, im thinking to myself, marine turrets are stronger than aliens, but, aliens are stronger then marines. Now, this may be an opinion, but ive found the aliens are faster, stronger, and usually go in groups. Plus, they get that "thingy is under attack" message. So all togethor, giving the marines a turret advantage somewhat evens out the game, in a freaky sort of way..but when you are an ono, do turrets even matter? You charge em n they blow up lol. I really think the game evens itself out with advantages n disadvantages, although I think aliens are easier to play. Well, theres my 2 cents in. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

common sense, shouldnt the offense chamber shoot lerk "spike shooters"? the model looks like it should shoot spikes but instead it wobbles about like a rubber tree and spits :/ whats withs that? i think it should use the lerks attack, maybe alittle slower but have accuracy to aim at strafing marines :/ but o well thats only my opinion

I have'nt had to chance to test it out but it seems to be to be the perfect way of attacking turrets.
Lerk UMBRA and fade Swipe is THE BEST way to take down a tfac/turrets.
stops the majority of the bullets from hitting the fade. but it DOES take teamwork.
keep in mind when we talk about GL/Siege cannons, etc etc ad nauseum, this is at a stage when the marines, seemingly, have a TON of money. they SHOULDN"T stop them in their tracks, rez nodes are the key to winning.
think starcraft.
it's ALL about the bling bling. "OMG, he has 16 toss carriers and i just have a few mutas and and 2 groups of hydras! what can i DO?"
not let him get to that point is what.
as in ANY RTS, whoever runs up the tech tree the FASTEST, wins.
another note on siege, you should have offensive outposts where they would WANT to setup siege. so u can stop them EARLY. they need to build tfac, UPGRADE tfac, then build turr for D, THEN build siege. you should be patrolling, and aliens should attack an outpost like this with EXTREME PREJUDICE <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Well i dunno but i think that if the 1000 AP for human turrets and the only HP for Alien turrets that take a long time to kill is quite unbalanced, lol. bah anyways iguess there is something else about the aliens to compendate thats.
