<div class="IPBDescription">Dodgy tactics....yes more of them D:</div> I was playing on a certaint server today and after being totaly dominated by the marines (they had jp, hmg +lvl3 upgrades) they would not finish us off
If this was not anoying enough our hive defences started to take a battering from a seige but where was this seige i though to myself, well after a while of searching I found it

I think this is one of the lamest things iv seen since NS has come out, as skulks can not get up there unles they use the vent to the right of the pic but with a hmg camping in it and 2 or 3 Jp/HMg's floating around its imposable for lerks to get there too.
/me relaxes
Well thats my little rant over

Actualy I did have a few games today were the alines came back from having 1 hive and being raped by jps and then we got the second hive up, then we got instant fades cause the res had built up <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> and we won. So never say never
I agree, thats pretty creative
Actually I think that's great <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Once I was on refinery, and we created a second base to the top of refinery, right next to a built hive. By some miracle we didn't get spotted and we blasted the hive :]
Our main base (atmos) was nearly crippled to death, but with this, we forced fades to come back to their hive. With a hive down and a healthy number of HMGs (read 2 or 3) we could take down some fades before realizing one had blinked up there and destroyed our great base.
(continuing with my story)
Meanwhile the HMGs have returned to atmos and got welded again, the base all set up again. We had a coupe HAs and a Jetpack go build a siege to take down Engine, while a couple of jetpacks bugged them in Refinery.
How to say, Great job comm <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Sadly it is true that this is rather weak and lame and hopefully won't normally be allowed.

Erm.
From the tone of some of these posts anyone might think that this was a <b>hive</b> siege.... It isnt, and i don't think that has been made clear enough.
This siege does no reach port engine hive. Its use in the example was simply to remove hive defenses, presumably because port had been lamed up to such an extent that they needed a siege just to get inside. That's hardly uncommon when marines have controlled the map and 2 hives for an extended period of time.
It's an original position, and its very hard to attack, but since it doesn't actually reach anything of significant value why is it a problem?
It was the map with the noname, subspace and port hive. In the port hive behind the res node is a door that cannot be opened and is bend in one corner. The comm dropped a phase gate in the little room behind very close to the door and ordered the marines to build it through the door (It works just hug the door and you can build objects behind it). Then he build a tf and 2 sieges inside as soon as a marine got through the phase and then he recycled the phase. The rest of the game we had big laughs as the aliens tried to build the port hive and didn´t knew from where we sieged them. Fun aside this was the lamest tactic i ever saw since the aliens have no chance to kill those sieges.

Actually, there are ways to do it. One is with fade acid, if you have fades. Takes a while. The other is having a gorge build there, buildings will get destroyed but the splash damage also hits the siege. a similar problem exists in the furnace near feedwater hive.
Lerk?
I use the ones at <a href='http://www.tribes2maps.com/ns/' target='_blank'>http://www.tribes2maps.com/ns/</a>
aliens can also build in annoying places.
i get in CC... and i get yelled at to get out... (all 3 were from clans)
--
we relocate to cargo - another lame tactic on this map.
--
being the mature person that i am, i take it as a personal mission not to shoot a single alien (does not include structures)
--
i start to work on binding some of my keys... while standing in base... while this happens, two feet away from me, a skulk starts to chomp on the resource node... screaming directed in my direction insued...
i would have responded if i wasn't "AFK"... don't yell at AFK people, it just "erks" your team off...
--
sitting in the middle of ventelation hive (which was building) my comander finds the need to "scan" the hive... (i'm standing in tehre, you can already see it you #$%&)
--
feeling the need to contribute (he gave me a JP and HMG... a waste of money on somone that isn't goung to shoot aliens)...
i fly into red room and build half a turret.
--
as i fly over to powersilo, i hear them cheering that they seige killed the hive... woo hoo
--
i scream at the commander that i'm in powersilo... what does he do?... scan it...
--
after being chomped to death... the commander feels that he needs to get out, and do it himself... i, being the tool of payback, wait until he goes through the phase gante, and begin to recycle things....
--
just a warning to all of you out there... relocating doe NOT equil locking down a hive...yelling at people, makes them mad...
and revenge, is worth all the screaming, being ejected, and banned (yes, banned on a first offense...this is what you get when admins abuse thier power.)
