    Woot.

    Actually, that's interesting, did mines clip inside the onos due to the collision hull being smaller than the Onos?

    So I'm guessing Flayra disabled the ability to place mine after mine in one tiny spot?
    H'm! This should prove to be interesting...

    And from the other perspective.

    And in today's fashion parade we have a new item, inventively titled 'Mine Halo':

    Even more interesting was the mine-stack we got going on ns_nothing, in Great Viaduct. Built a pillar from the floor to the ceiling (yes, that's a LOT of mines), then a stairstep bridge up to the catwalk. Though the fun part was Parasiting the bottom mine two or three times, and having them all chain-react up through the stack. The room kept shaking for about five minutes. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    nah, they would've just fallen right through him then, as you can see in the first picture, they formed a pair of pants out of mines for the onos

    yeah, pretty much like "During the early stages of NS, gorges were used to carry the mines of rines, before they revolted." or "This is a gorge that think Xenocide is what it's born for."

    Oh wait, you meant the GORGE'S perspective, I don't think anything can put a caption on something that looks like a bunch of giant mines.

    Yep. Mine bridges are a definate possiblity. And, actually they open up places that would previously only been usefull to a jetpack. Like red room, or, if your really good I think you can get up to the cat walk above Via with 2 packs.

    Going over to the cliff on hera takes somewhere around 500 packs though.

    Hmm... These new mines sound actually kinda cool. I hope they are kept, hopefully some new and interesting changes are brought to gameplay because of them.


    On a side note:

    Even with mines, you can't get into red room... sure you get into the vent outside of red room, but how would you have enough space to get up the long shaft vents into red room? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I don't understand your question. But how would you NOT be able to get into redroom. (especially since he just said someone did)
  • UraniumUranium Join Date: 2002-11-10 Member: 8105Members
    its like being gorge inside a vent trying to build your way uptop, it gets to be a HUGE pain in the **** as you lose room and are forced to try and squeeze by a small spot. PICTURE TIME!, Blue mines, red is vent verticle, black is horizontal vent.

    This is from redroom, and is what a vent would be like. Probably the only vent you could get up with mines.

    Because red room consists of getting up two area's:

    First you have to get in the vent that leads to red room from the hallway; this can be done by jumping on top of other marines or using the mines to get up there; then once inside of the vent you have to get up a small narrow section of the vent.

    So if you used up all of your mines to get into the vent, then got up into the small part, you would have no mines;

    If you jumped on another marine to get into the starting part of the vent and then placed down a pack of mines to climb up on, this would mean you would have to use on pack of mines, then you would need another, how would you get it inside of a vent?

    The only way would be to climb back out and get another pack from your friends, or have an armory dropped at your locale... all in all an expensive and risky procedure, but gives you the win if you can pull it off.

    I'll enjoy going kamikaze on mine stairs. Must be a nice sight for a marine halfway up, looking back, to see all the mines behind him chain-reacting. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
