How Many Sieges Does It Take...

<div class="IPBDescription">to crash a server?</div> I was playing NS last night on ns_bast, when this happened:

We had them cornered in Feedwater, and were slowly closing in from both sides. Thats when we noticed that there were fewer and fewer aliens attacking us. Just then, Motion Tracking kicked in, and we were treated to a sight that had most of us on the floor laughing: Almost teir entire team was holed up in an "underwater city" between feedwater and water treatment. It was hard to tell with them moving around, but I estimate there were about 6 or 7 helpless aliens down there.

Well, we weren't gonna let this get the best of us. We proceeded to build not one, not two, but 7 Siege turrets in the Lower Junction, directly above their position. We had all held back out of the water, so the aliens had no idea what was coming. Then came the moment of truth, the scan of death. Our Comm did the scan... and... well, not only did we kill every alien in that one instant, but we also managed to crash the server. So, if anyone ever asks you how many Sieges it would take to crash a server... now you know: 42... no wait, 7. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    A few days ago someone was trying to see how much damage the siege does and I think he put 25 sieges. Not really shure. But other buildings also affect crashing.

    LIES, you can't shoot underwater. Or maybe you're thinking of a different place, I believe them aliens were holed up in the water-filled tunnel between feedwater and refinery in ns_bast.
    7 sieges shouldn't crash the server, maybe it was because they shot underwater?...Possibly some conflicting code, a weapon that isn't supposed to fire underwater, shoots into the water, but it creates the blast at a certain point, rather than shooting a projectile into and through the water... Geh, Im likely just rambling.
