As for one, I assume the turrent can rotate.

As for the others, I doubt that any of them would be finalised at this point as the mod is still in playtesting stages. You could assume that one would be able to cut down a full-on marine rush of about 2-3 marines with LMGs before becoming an organic sack of lead.

I MUST CLARIFY!! I might be totally wrong in what I have said! Don't take any of this as actually factual, these are just educated guesses.

Well, the first question should be answered by our modeler/designer/artist type people. Hopefully they'll come in.

The other three will be determined through testing. This is the stuff we're testing at the moment. Not bugs (though we had to squish a few today... I hate crashes) but things like 'How powerful/fast/lethal/slow should this be?'

There are no alien turrets yet, but they'll probably be added in the near future. I can't tell you any of those details yet though, as we don't know. They'll probably rotate to track targets, probably be relatively fast, probably do medium damage to a marine (won't kill with one shot, but will do 30-40 damage).

Thanks everyone for your educated guesses!!!

Maybe i will ask again later.

Hehe, nice one Koprisoturi, but you did get the official response, and not an educated guess. Flayra is the main man, and what he means is the alien turrets have not been implemented yet and that's what they will be about.

I know it was the official response and i know flayra is
"the main man"
i have been hanging in the forums before registering
I am sorry if you were offended by the "educated guess"
part of the thanks reply it was not my intention

How about a little tower, about the size of a resource gatherer, that makes a little poisonous cloud, and has tentacles(vines?) that reach out and grab passing marines, pulling them into the poison cloud.

Oh! and make it a plant.

you know..if i was made into a playtester..i'd be able to give far better input to this community...yeeeaaahhh....
if i was a playtester, this mod would definately be made into a world dominating sport of champions and let me tell you something about the turrets, ooooo buddy, the turrets, you'd never see turrets as good as mine! And the entire art direction would knock you off your socks!
And yes i did this simply to get my 100 posts, please dont hurt me....
