The WORST way to build a base.

[toastisgood]

THIS is the worst way to build a base                                                                                                                                                                                  it only takes 3  to kill it.....I've witnessed this.

It's worth mentioning that the Aliens were at Stage 3.

that is most definitely NOT 100 bps

yeah i know it is for hbp servers

Because the thread is called "The WORST way to build a base."

True...

Also, to be on topic:

HUMANS:

-Moving bases while in the middle of an invasion. So many retards do this, I could grab a nade and finish it for 'em.
-Moving bases while everybody's out on a mission. No cover+no power=INSTANT LOSE if so much as a dretch is walking by.
-Deconning ALL the turrets for teslas. Many a game has been lost due to a single marahop of the DC combined with a noob builder.
-Deconning the reactor/other vital structures for BP to build teslas. This, as crazy as it seems, happens all the time when new players think ckitting will be fun when they just downloaded the game and installed it.

ALIENS:

-Deconning ALL acid tubes for BP to build nothing but hives. Hives suck when humans can easily get out of your base. They outrun them too easily.
-Ground trappers. I could teamkill for this.
-Clustereggs. I could teamkill with a tyrant for this.
-Forward bases. If you have to decon more than 4 defenses to build a forward base, it's bad. If you have a buttload of BP and a well-defended base, then you can build a forward egg/booster combo or two.

-Forward bases. If you have to decon more than 4 defenses to build a forward base, it's bad. If you have a buttload of BP and a well-defended base, then you can build a forward egg/booster combo or two.

Along those lines, the forward "base" that consists of an egg in the middle of the path that humans will take to the alien base, with no defenses, not hidden, etc.  The perfect one for them to either kill for quick credits, or camp around and spawnkill for credits and stage advancement.  I generally TK those eggs first, and then inform the builder why that egg sucks.

Which is fine, until I realize the builder was in the process of "moving" to that location, and did so by building just a single egg, went back to decon everything else, and I've now killed the last egg because it was in a stupid place.  And oh yeah, since the OM just went down, humans rushed the base and killed the builder too.  Whee...

Heh, I actually find that the semi circle base in atcs for humans is the best, yet one goon can take out all the rets alone..... so you cant really leave it alone hence, uber camp.


Also most builders need to learn for aliens Trappers are your friends, I find a well made trapper base is much more effective, than half of the other attempts at bases i've seen... on each entrance to the alien base there are like 4-5 good spots to place trappers.


you can put them on the center post pointing inwards into the base, traps em every time until they kill em, and on all of the alcoves on the bottom.

On the tom on the edge of the farther back slanted wall, 2 on the wall inside the ledge just as you come into base, and also in the grooves in the cieling on an angle will often even hit the large front entrance as well as the top.


Also putting the booster onto the ramp is nice, almost nade proof unless the nade in on/ right next to it, putting an egg closer to the edge in s1 on the floor on the normal platform gives creep tot he whole other side, not blocking the fucking ramp going up to the om with tubes/hovels/cades -.-

Also if you didn't know if you build a tube, and or hive on the bottom of the pipes lining the backs of the rooms the models disappear  so if oyu build the hovel on the ramp not fully blocking so they have to go under the pipe, and build a tube, and trapper over it on the pipe invisa insta trap/kill ^^

unless they kill the hovel >.>


Umm also human base in the middle, is toast if aliens get s3, aliens base in the middle, hold up pretty well... 3 tubes and a trapper per entrance... (Yes it fits if you place carefully) an egg each side hovel blocking nades from om.....booster on either side, not both, and erm...... well yeah maybe a hive, cause if they get trapped it hurts a LOT xD

that's all I have to say... my bases hold up fairl well, so I figure they're decent ^^

5. Forward eggs poorly hidden and dangerously close to the enemy's base. Spawn-camp anyone?

The other day on thermal some silly granger put an egg IN our base, needless to say we didn't kill the egg:

hehe I saw a game like that it started as a fwd

[Sanity]

Is this a useless thread or what, nobody needs to know the worse way to build a base.

[your face]

i do!  it encourages my cool, 1337 behavior.

[OhSnapItsNathan]

I agree with this post 

[King]

Acids in the middle of the "hallway" with the cubbies in the alien base.  Ridiculous.

Second worst way...

why do noobs always believe testlas are better then rets?

the only place they are good for is stopping dretches and not being snipable and covering turrets. that is the only way they are usefull, reason why turrets are generally better is because longer range smaller targets....

sure testlas are good but for all you noobs out there who decon every turret there is a combination of turrets and testlas work better than a base of just one!!!! and dont noob block when some1 is building

[Rocinante]

The ones I "love" are not the people who just think that a tesla base is better than a turret base.  After all, teslas are a higher-stage item so one would think replacing your turrets would be better.  However, it's the ones who insist that they are right, and you are wrong, when you explain that teslas don't do as well against the larger aliens, and all one needs to do is snipe the DC and you now have no defenses at all.  Happens most often in ATCS for some reason, most or all of the human team is rushing the aliens and respawns to see the last turret go away and a tesla in its place.. and a goon+ around the corner waiting to snipe the DC and pounce on the reactor.

1-2 teslas in base, blocking rants and stopping dretches from sneaking in?  Great idea.  Room full of teslas almost always equals "Aliens win."

with 100 build points in 1.1 i find it is almost never worth wasting 8bp on a dcc to build teslas*, since proper bases do well enough against dretches anyway.
*exceptions being when you can't cover the top of the reactor with at least 1 turret, or when you're playing on a server with the zap of doom (which requires religiously making sure that a mara can't get a clean zap off on a turret without dying, or 2 suicides costing 6 evos can take out an entire base singelhandedly, but those don't exist anymore)

yesterday i went on this server with a base like this

- (gap)(gap) (gap) (gap)-
