I start hitting phase gates, and it keeps cycling through the first 3, and won't let me go to the last one. I yell at the comm "It isn't up!", and he says back "It is! I can still see it at half health!". I've often needed to phase 10-15 times before I can get there. It REALLY is annoying. Sometimes it does that even when not under attack. I'm just trying to get to a location, and I cannot get there. I often just end up running there, if I end up in home base more than 3 times.

Movement chambers have been doing that since 1.0; it would only cycle between the first two hives but noth the third one.

Movement chambers are different from phase gates - they teleport you to the hive that is farthest from the movement chamber you are using. Once you have 3 hives up, the 'middle' hive tends to get left out of the loop, but since aliens have a much easier time traversing the map this isn't a big issue. And it's not hard to put up two seperate movement chambers in the 'middle' hive spaced such that they teleport to seperate 'outer' hives.
An interesting thought would be to change movement chambers so they teleport to the closest hive, allowing gorges to daisy-chain the hives together instead of this reverse-distance layout that's in place now.
But there have been times where it skips some locations; i played a game last night and i was patrolling the phase gate outposts, i tried twice ad couldn't get to one of our hives, i told everyone it was under attack and they took the PG out, lol!! Made me look like a right newb! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ak.
This is why you should cover them with some turretage or some marines. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Blow that phase blocker away, and the problem is solved...

Actually, with 1.04 the movements will teleport you to the furthest hive unless a hive is being attacked, in which case it teleports you to that one. This is going to result in all walls of lame having 2 defs 1 movement and "x" OCs.
I never understood why gorgs only ever put movements in hives.
Small minded ppl cant seem to fathom that you might need to get to a hive real fast no matter where you are. I was just yesterday yelled at by a idiot on my team for placing MC's outside a hive. This same idiot also yelled at me for placing SC's in key locations on the map as well. Some ppl are just plain stupid.
