<div class="IPBDescription">Not a banquet</div> I see way too many times an onos or two get cloaking and regeneration, hide outside a marine base, stun and devour somebody, then run off and wait for him to devour.
Not saying this isn't viable, because it does hold marines back a bit, but every onos shouldn't be doing this.
The way I go, is that I use my 100 resources on an onos, get carapace, adrenaline/celerity (depends on how deep I have to go to reach their base with turrets firing at me), then I rush in and destroy as much I can.
If I devour someone, it's only to reduce the firepower at me. It eases things alot for the rest of my team, which doesn't think about destroying turrets, only to shoot down marines with acid rockets.
Get in there, destroy what you can and come back in as another lifeform. A skulk for instance. Without turrets, marines aren't so hard with a skulk.
Just reminding you that the onos is for more than devouring.

You of course go rampage so that the rest of your team can cause the rest of the havoc.
Taking down 5-6 turrets help alot.

if there are more then 3 marines in that base. You wont be taking out 5-6 turrets.
and i agree that onos isnt just to devour, but its prolly its biggest role once marines have HA train...stomp while skulks bite doesnt work most of the time, lack of teamwork etc <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
