the worst wat to build a human base is having all the turrets forward leaving the back of your base naked, noobs do this alot and then a goon comes along and hops past it all and the react and nodes are gone, all the while humans are out rushing aliens....

Build a human base to the plantroom in NIVEUS.

It kills the game, no fun at all... tyrs camping at the doors, humans in base, no way out or in

Once I was playing with a base like this, and I got a strange feeling to decon or nade the whole thing up...  >:(

Worst base: Human Edition

Against a wall (wall view):
                                                                Platform
                               Staircase               :reactor:                                :repeater:  :repeater:                     Staircase
Away from the wall (overhead):                                                                                                            Passage
                                                                                      :telenode:           
                                                                    :telenode:                      :turret:                                                   

Weakness? NO MEDIPAD OR ARMORY! TWO SPAWNS!!! THAT'S IT!!! Humans lost after two dragoons. Go figure, with NO ARMORY!!!
Always have an armory. No base works without one. I think the map was arachnid 2... not sure. The one with crate walls.

Most of all when, on atcs, a lucibsuit sits, camps and spams at the middle ramp in human base, and a helmet/larmor/luci guy jumps down the gap between the base and the middle wall thing, as a fully-charged lucifer cannon eats his ass end. 860 credits down the drain. Especially with that bugged retribution.

I played a bad base recently. Stairs on Nexus, as human. Very bad idea. As in, goon hop.

No. Let n00bs pick overly destructive Human weapons and then use them in their own base and around their own teammates. Maybe then they'll learn that doing that is a stupid idea. Meanwhile, I will be slashing at their damaged Armoury, after I vault their smoking turrets and the scattered bodies of their TK' d teammates. N00bs: they're what's for breakfast.

Here is one of the worst ATCS bases I have ever seen. Note the almost total lack of defenses where it counts most, at the telenode (the single telenode).

And, of course, everyone was off killwhoring instead of actually making the base good. This was during a brief lull in the conversation.

Needless to say, this one got totally obliterated in about three minutes. It only stayed up that long because I was making constant repairs.

More awful bases to follow...

This one is from Arachnid2.

The OM and eggs, plus the barricade at the bottom of the shaft, basically ensured our defeat.

I didn't get a picture of this one, so...

                                                          :turret: :turret: :turret: :turret:
One node and a bunch of blocking turrets. Need I say more?

And finally, the worst base ever:

:reactor: <-- Dunno where the rc was.

Top of bunker base can be effective on high bp allowed servers. It needs a teamwork, good communication and more then 7 players jetcamping on human side. 4-5 MD/lasgun jetpackers, 1 repairer and jumping goon will be dead goon, all other aliens cant get up there, so its relative safe. Its good basis to make base on ground

 But this is really bad, i admit. 1 dretch can kill 4 turrets.

If the others had taken the time to build properly, perhaps it would have been a much better base. The lack of defenses on the stairs made it possible for one of these :tyrant: to charge past everything and destroy the rc and node.

Bases should never feature an RC in a strait line from the door. Or nodes. Or arms. Or any major structure.

I just played in a bad base. I don't recall the map, but there were more than six turrets between the nodes and the arm, and they blocked each other.
