We [NBK] do that all the time. It's great. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Honestly, I know it sounds like going on, maybe we just got too many lateral thinkers in our clan....

It's a common tactic actually, whenvever I ask for a lift as a gorge someone always comes forth to help <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Uhh... Yeah.
I hope you are being sarcastic in that remark...
I do not see how this seems like such an innovation. It is common practice where I play.
Do you get resources fast when you are a skulk? No. When you finish a RT, and are moving somewhere else, and want to hide there, is it useful to go skulk, climb up a wall, and then go gorge AGAIN? No. There you go. Also, you cannot go gorge in some vents, so you can only get boosted up.
If you're already a Gorge, fair enough.
But if you cant go Gorge in a particular vent, then chances are you cant build there either. So the only reason to be up there would be to web it.

What about *gasp* getting to another part of the map quicker?
Yeah, and until you are nearby 1-2+ DCs with carapace, you are a sitting duck to any marine with decent aim. Hiding in vents is not just for skulks. Keeping gorges alive is a GOOD thing.
There are several places where mariens can build in vents, making it useful to boost fades up there. You can boost any other alien race up like that.
Not all that useful, but I have seen it done.
I did this the other time on ns_caged, near ventilation hive(there is a door to a large room with boxes and one resource nozzle), and gave us victory(pretty much), since the marines had locked the door(h4x!11!). I told the fades to step up on me(lerk) and I would airlift them into the vent(a red vent, which is in the room before the corridor that has the door that was locked).
However, we got surprised by 2 fully built Command Consoles in the vent :/// ...Man did it take a long time for the fade to get rid of those.
But I felt extra good when the game ended and bragged about how I helped fades into a vent <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

i think the hive is called generator and has toxic water... well if a lerk boosted a gorge and he fell in a died <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> roflmao:)
