The WORST way to build a base.

[mathchamp]

I'm guessing they wanted to give the a chance seeing their base was even worse, and when the didn't take the chance, they attacked the .

Yup, the default base without building anything. Turns into this:

That's why you need a builder in every game. Same with aliens (to a somewhat lesser extent).

the worst base by far is this
 

sometimes noobs decon the reactor for extra buildpoints

and the doesn't even use build points so there's really no point.

The following structures do not use build points:

  (but except for the repeater, they are max 1 per team, and even the repeater self destructs after 90 seconds if you don't plop a BP-consuming structure near it)

Just don't be the guy who keeps all their focus on the forward base and not the main one:

Tell that to those who think it does....

I can say only one thing, the WORST way to build the base is not to build it at all.

All those new players, and the rest can have fun deconning and building, let them learn. But when your team leaves the base alone and goes with rifles against goons, knowing that they will not shoot 2nd round before they get killed... thats where I want just to leave the server.

Well, that's not a very fun reply.

The worst base ever is one on uBP, hands down. 99% of the time, a human has to jump to get through, and Tyrants can't get through their bases because the builders are usually high on build points.

uBP on atcs,hs2,turrets and forward bases spread like the friggen plague.

I find that the worst human bases are the ones that are as equally hostile to allies as they are to enemies.

 

'Nuff said.

Bobv2 was gunned down by a Turret.

If you want to be well off defensively, you can build your base very far away from the enemy base (at least as aliens). Or you can do this:

Getting acid showered to death the millisecond you spawn - smart NOT.

The best way is to make a telenode right under a trapper.

My teammates have called me the Builder God (I know it's not true, don't get your panties in a twist) so I hope I can say I know a LITTLE about building.

Deconning can be a part of the building, certainly, but man you have got to know the BEST way to do it. A teammate of mine decided to help me out and build, and I got into a little argument over him about turret placement. The fool kept telling me to stop spreading my turrets around and to bunch them up into a neat pile near the base. I told him that, in a matter of tactics, having them bunched together means our alien friends not only know EXACTLY where all the turrets are, but if one blows up you'd better not be around. HOW DUMB?!?! So, when I stopped building and let moron take charge for a round while I went and fragged some, he piled them in the middle of the aisle near our base and, lo and behold, "Base is under attack." I came home to a lack of turrets and a maurauder eating away at the top of our reactor, the builder's body lying not too far.

So, I usually take charge of building now...

Sucky bases made by a designated builder

I perfectly agree. But what is worse: This + friendly fire turned off...

Build a human base to the plantroom in NIVEUS.

No way. Those bases are excellent, for rants have a hard time to reach them, goons can't snipe them easily for the ceiling is stuffed with pipes, you have three entrances providing you a straigt line of fire, the punishment you can deliver is immens. The only thing is that you need a really experienced builder.

Btw, bad bases - and this remark is the reason I warmed up that old thread - are always the result of two things:

1. noob builder
2. two builders with very different building styles, where none of them wants to cease build and defend the other guy with a rifle.

There is an old saying: If you want things done, tell someone to do it. If you want it not done, tell several people to do it.
