Creep ball

[swamp-cecil]

i think aliens should get a alien version of the repeator; a free creep emiter.
because sometimes, you will need bp for the main base but why waste it on an egg?
FWD boosters are 12BP, and eggs 10BP (i belive) which makes a total of 22BP.
you can make an extra acid tube or stuff. maybe you need 2BP for another hive? but your team NEEDS that FWD booster, so you just cant go there and decon it. Tremulous makes it that so when you die, you respawn at the closest spawner. what if your FWD is being overran? aliens can evolve near humans, which may encourage killwhoring.

and humans dont really need repeators. its only and mainly used in servers with lots of bp and for setting up structures for when deconning/moving RC.

catch my drift?

for appreances, its a black ball with tentacles comming from a hole in its head, pointy parts of the tentacles touching the ground.
but of course humans will need another stucture to even this out.
THE HUMAN HOVEL! just kidding.

Why not have an egg at a forward base? It's very useful to quickly get aliens over there and helps if humans destroy the original base without destroying the forward one.

Much of the skill of building in trem is being able to build what is most useful given your limited resources and the current game situation. If you have enough BP to do almost everything you want, its reduced to a building race. What you're proposing is a step in this direction really. You should have to make sacrifices in base defence if you want the advantage provided that forward booster.

Forward boosters are expensive, yes, but that's balanced against their high usefulness.

You can't build a forward booster without a forward egg, otherwise there is no creep... Its not a case of "is it worth putting a spawn in my outpost or not?"

Yes they do, or at least they are so useful you'd be daft not to at least try to make some use of them. 2 free forward buildings for 4BP is a bargain.

helps if humans destroy the original base without destroying the forward one.

Bit of a moot point. By this point chances are you're screwed anyway.

I was talking about his proposal, not currently.

Egghunt.
