<div class="IPBDescription">modified vent siege engine strat</div> Ive found a way to siege engine practically from base....
if this fails.. you lose the siege cannons... not a turret factory also...
The turret factory is placed in the corner of your base.. and upgraded to siege tech.... from there have three marines get into the vent at the elevator at bast... and crawl through docking hydraulics and into the vent around engine.. drop three sieges and have each marine build them (you know where.....) then ping...... if the sieges fall before the hive is down.... the tf is still up safe in base.. to re attempt at any later date....
did this three times today on bast..... twice when they tried to onos rush feedwater hive... got the phase down.. but had to retreat to save hive.... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
If aliens make a push on you.. its a great covert way to get em back...
Plus its less risky than MAKING A TF IN DOCKING HYDRAULICS... because you have the chance to lose less res... while your chance of pulling it off is increased due to less build time by hive....

Another thing you can do on the same map for sieges is to build a tf on top of a tiny ledge right by the rotating doors. You can then drop a siege close enough to hit the feedwater hive in the vent (either the vent by main aft, or the vent above tram tunnel resource) if you done this correctly.
Change that to:
When NS first came out, you could sige Engine hive <i>with a sige cannon</i> inside Marine Start.
To clarify. I don't think you read my post right.

oh yea, you're right <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. I misunderstood the second part/alternative of your post.
that two or three linear yards turns into about 45 since you must go down an elevator.. hop into a vent.. open the door... crawl through... then into docking.... takes a while.. specially if the lift is down....
