<div class="IPBDescription">it's defence</div>comm drops em, electrify them and then guarded by a phasegate...
it's a good strategy but on the alien side it can be verry depressive.

i don't know the final results in NS2 but i was hoping on the alien side
that it's possible to also give the RT a defence.

and if not possible in NS2 can it still be done in NS1?

    No Phases Gates in NS2, confirmed.

    No Mention of Electrifying either, I get the feeling its not in.

    It's a shame about the electrifying thing, but since there's going to be no phase hopping, isnt really an issue.

    It would be nice if we could still do it for our respective RTs, tho. Some sort of similar mechanic for Zerg, sorry, Kharaa team.

    Isn't electrify a greyed out option for RTs?

    I'm sure I saw it somewhere.

    well, phase hopping is cool but it can be abused.

    if they have plans in the future for electrifyed rt's then i hope the alien
    team have the option aswell, like a hydra on top of it, rasta look :p

    Well, how about the <b>Extractor gets a turret</b> on the top of it and the <b>Harvester gets a hydra</b> on the top of it?

    IP makes a noise if you press 'E' on its Screen, I am wondering if you can teleport between IP's?

    hmm, that would definitely be more on par with the alien abilities. You can jump between tech points, but not to an enemy held section. I assume you can only build IPs near CCs.

    Also, marines resource grid works as a supply line, ala Company of Heroes, last we heard. Cut off the head and the body will fall etc

    Phase-gate abuse may cause philosophical quandries over whether the you who left is the same you who arrived, evil twin syndrome, intramolecular fusion of extremities with walls, 'the fly' syndrome and loss of lunch.

    Consult your doctor and or philosopher before using phase-gate.
