Well technically it's 0 res... because in most cases the comm drops a robo in the same general area (just not at the vent) in order to arc.

You may be on to something here because blocking the vent in crusher is another request I've made that gets ignored/refused. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ahh one of these threads... here's the specs of the tower I just built a few weeks ago. I think I did a good job seeing as how it's my first build ever. lol
CPU: Intel I7 3820 @ 3.6 GHz
Mobo: ASUS P9X79
RAM: 16GB Corsair Veng… -
I find jetpack shotguns to actually require less skill than jetpack GL's...
A lone jetpack shotgun user can kill all but fades/oni with little difficulty, allowing them to survive for much longer and thus deal more damage. Plus the shotg… -

Wasn't even touching my mouse, and I looked after dying to see all 3 veils still up.
There are players who can easily spot lvl 3 cloaked aliens even when they are not moving at all...

I don't understand the "shade making people defensive" mentality...
I tend to play more defensively with spur or shell because marines can pinpoint my location through sound SO easily... Plus since I have to walk to remain silent, I'm ac… -
wow you guys weren't kidding about the fps drop... I tried it and went from just under 200fps to 15 lol.
So it's the gamma settings or that skin or whatever, in my opinion it is still basically the exact same thing as using a hack... Whe… -
I've always wondered how certain "pro" players are able to spot invisible aliens 100% of the time no matter where they are.
If this is true then it is an exploit and using it to gain an advantage is no different than a cheater using a ha… -
I have to agree with the OP... Shade hive is by far the most useful out of the three, the problem is that people just don't realize why it's so good.
Sure celerity and shell is nice to have, but nothing gives the aliens more of an edge t… -
The performance is bad enough on 22-24 player servers, I can only imagine how bad it would be on a 40 player server.
I might actually enjoy up to 30 player games, but NS2 server performance starts to drop pretty quick once the pla… -

Don't forget the REAL purpose of the bots.
They allow the really bad 0-25 type player to focus on bots and feel like they are "skilled" - Who cares if they can't kill pilots, they can wipe up 40-50-60 bots per game...Like many others I tried the beta and was not impressed...
The game play itself was sort of fun and a little addicting, but it wasn't enough to counter all the things they did wrong with that game.
Here's a simple way to see …(Quote)
There is something that puzzles me about this...
I have always kept my steam profile set to private and I can play on the +75 and +150 hour servers with no problem... Yet for whatever reason the +250 and +500 hour serve…A few ways NS2 could be improved...
1) If they didn't focus SO much on making it competitive. Many changes made in the name of "perfect balance for 6v6 play" have actually killed a lot of the fun in pub play.
2) If we had the…(Quote)
This is probably the best idea so far in my humble opinion.
Maybe it will be an update to fix some things that are broken...
For example:
-The new force even teams vote - would be nice if it didn't crash the server so often.
-No border windowed mode - would be nice if we could a…(Quote)
The problem is that playing out the rest of a game once it's "over" can often take 10-20 minutes or longer. It's not fun for the losing team (or even the winning team imo) when one team is down to 1-2 RT's and it becomes a base rap…(Quote)

At least you know...
I wish I knew what it was just so I'd know what to look for... For all I know people could be exploiting this "bug" in every game I play on docking and I wouldn't have the slightest clue.
I agree that the system drastically needs to be fixed. It's extremely annoying to hop on and have the only local populated servers be some of the laggiest servers in the game.
If they could fix the performance indicator to give an accur…Skulks are SO loud this build that I actually have to turn my volume down when playing Aliens...
It definitely feel…I have another question that I keep forgetting to ask...
Is the Onos stomp ever going to be fixed?
It's been bugged pretty much ever since I started playing and it's extremely annoying. I can't figure out why but Stomp only …(Quote)
I played docking last night and absolutely love the changes made, especially the three additional vents, and the changes to courtyard..
What exactly is this "game-critical bug" though? We played three games on Docking …What makes an ideal pub game...
1) Having enough people on each team who actually use their mics and listen. (you know, teamwork)
2) Having two competent commanders who know what they're doing and give orders (at least via text if…(Quote)
Yeah I mean stuck as in absolutely cannot move and have to F4 and rejoin the team to get free. (losing everything in the process) I've never had it happen as a Skulk, but I've ended up stuck there as Gorge, Lerk, Fade, and even o…Few quick questions...
1) Are there any plans to fix it so we can multi-task again without it auto-minimizing NS2? - I often seed servers early in the morning and it was SO much nicer back when I could park myself and do something on …I'd honestly be happy enough if they just buffed Shade to the point where people would be willing to use it as a 2nd hive...
In my experiences like 98% of all commanders will save Shade for the last hive, and for me it's hardest to captu…It seems to me like people aren't even willing to give the map a chance.
The only real chance I had to play Eclipse was when the official servers were running it 24/7... Now if I'm lucky enough for it to come up (which it almost never do…(Quote)
- People join the lowest ping servers that are populated
I think it's mostly just a matter of what is available. I will never join a server with high ping, limiting myself to an absolute maximum of 150. Thus whe…I tried Hive 1 this morning and it seems to me as if something in the mod is broken...
At first it wouldn't let me join a team, kept getting the message "please wait, we still haven't received your datas."
