Level 3 weapons and armor,HA and welder,vs a off chamber.......
The off chamber got about 8 bars damaged before i died.
If you've got a light marine welding you from behind, you can weld a whole chamber farm into dust. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

The main issue with the nuke was not so much it's power as the fact that.
A. A marine commander could camp, save up resources, and then nuke the aliens into submission.
B. Nukes do not involve any other players and as a result, they are against the teamplay philosophy of the Marines and are no fun at all for the rest of the team.
C. Nukes we're frustrating for the aliens (not because they were overpowered, they costed plenty, just that they we're basically unstoppable), making the only player who enjoyed nuking be the commander.
I suppose its a possibility that the nuke could take a different form than the drop and forget big boomer that was originally implimented for a future release (V2 anyone?) and many suggested a weapon that was carried in two parts by two players who would have to set it up. For now though, no nuke.

I loved nuking in Red Alert 2. It felt so satisfying!
Why not just "borrow" some more stuff from starcraft?
Seriously, you could drop a laser painter for one of your marines, and he would have to stand still and paint a target. Of course it would have to be implemented in a way to promote teamwork...
wow thanks for the uber nuke script I've owned three games so far w/ it <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

its so powerful, the server will blow up to so you lose connection

Good one! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Here's how you get the nuke to REALLY work though. Just add this to your config.cfg file and press MOUSE1 to launch a nuke. It works I promise.
alias nuke "say LAUNCHING NUKE! OMG! RUN!; disconnect"
bind "MOUSE1" "nuke"
Have Fun!
