It can be quite frustrating, especially when the person stays there for a long time.

I haven't seen that, but I do know from personal experience that when playing AS AN ALIEN, other alien gorges who build towers under elevators, often shut off entire routes for me, and double (Sometimes triple) the amount of time I have to spend by going around the long way, which is VERY annoying.
try using blink.
Other than making sure the elevator you choose to build under has a ladder, I don't see any problem at all with this tactic.
I often block the elevators to slow the marine's advance. I hope this isn't taken out, it will make the aliens' life much more miserable. <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo-->

The biggest place this is a problem is the quad lift outside the power silo, on ns_nothing; most of the elevators on that map have no ladders, and 9 times out of 10 if I ever want to use it as a fade, to get to the marine base fast, I can't; some teammate has blocked that off.
The current and only fix would be to play with non-idiot players.

Argh, I hate when people do that. It's hard to tell if they did it because they're a newbie and don't know better, or if they're trying to cause trouble.
There was a guy named "NSPIayer" on my server and after being repeatedly banned he still comes back as a marine and causes as much trouble as possible. I finally just banned his IP and I haven't seen him since, thank god. Heh.
I guess our server's in the minority in thinking that tower stacking is bad, eh B? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

So you can slowly (or fastly) kill them and get on your way. This will still slow any advance of marines but make it less annoying for other aliens and easy to get around.
I <b>love</b> this response. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
including marines? cool
Except in a couple cases phases and movement chambers can allow access to most of the map regardless of what lifts are blocked. I think that blocked lifts are much more of a bother to marines than to aliens at any rate.

I played a game where it did a lot more damage to aliens than the marines.. It really slowed us down when half our team went to fades. :/
