just a little tidbit. when a siege hits a structure, it does splash damage, now everyone knows this. but what you might not know is that the damage is focused on a horizontal plane from that structure. so if you are below or above the plane, even if you are within splash dmg, you will not be hurt.
example: on ns_lost, at equilibrium regulation hive , say the rines were sieging from that windowed room. if you put structs at the same lvl as the hive, the splash dmg from the structs being hit will take down the hive super duper quick. however, if put them down by the RT, the hive would not get dmg from splash.
so take away idea: try not to put structs on same lvl as hive.

yeah, i was thinking that, but it's also something to think about as rines. as in, try to target a cluster of structs that are on the same lvl as the aliens to do more dmg.
i just forgot to add it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Once i was standing about 1 player length away from an OC.It got seiged.No damage taken.I quickly moved father away.The next blast killed me.
Then theres the one about where a group of OCs getting seiged,and only 1 taking damage,even though the splash shows it should be effectinve all 3-4 of them.
