Teleporting Hovels

the whole a<->b system should be possible considering you can add custom buildings to the game. Ive seen it done. My brother coded a adv mcg turret that 1. had instantaneous turning 2. had a delayed fire 3. had a faster firing rate 4. more hp

Delayed fire?

ya like they would spot you and then fire after 1-2 seconds.

Here is a scenario where hovels would be useful: Aliens are trapped in window room on the account of humans building all around it. Some rants could use the hovel to teleport out and engage the humans.

Scenario 2: You know how in bunker (top), sometimes there aren't any good builders so they block all the entrances for rants? Well a rant could just hovel-port up (a lot faster than going up the walls especially when they are chainsuits shooting at you)

Scenario 3: Large maps- boosts productivity, you can be attacking rets in one place, and then in another.

Also: if human-ports are instituted, make them red or something so they are different from tele-nodes.

F1

Here's a scenario: builder sucks and blocks rant, then SD starts and the hovel is destroyed and the rant is fúcked. Or, the more likely, aliens spam hovel and a clusterfúck of teleporting follows. Just a few scenarios.

I honestly don't see why aliens need an enhancement, they are quite strong especially rants (which is all you have been referring to, would be using these teleporters). This would only give aliens like a 10-15% better chance of winning as they already win like 55-60% of games already due to their strength and up front constant attacks. Having the ability to switch from both sides (bunker to hall and vice versa) to avoid flanks would make it near impossible to even play against them as human. I'm not exactly for the idea, but it would be an interesting idea IF it was on a vote/poll to be turned on if it was voted for and everyone agreed or passed by over 50% (or whatever is necessary). Having it as a permanent fixture? No, not really..

Ok well now that we have practically decided lets run this by bug and doublehex for approval.

I have an inkling that double will not want to do this.

Well humans can use the hovelports too! It great for lighning strikes if an alien builds a front hoval and a base hovel.

bug said that double had already coded something very close to this

for h thou i think if u did it as all power sources teleport ( kinda like unreal tournament )

I third that. Ill explain to someone how to do it very precisely but I won't cause I can't be the only one who ever does this and I'm also lazy.

Looks like finally someone got tired of hacking through the mountain of excrement that is the trem codebase.

I dunno what your talking about "finally." I been tired with it. Its like using a god damn spork to break through a steel reinforced concrete wall.

I'd love to get instructions from the best!!

...unfortunately im too busy, ( 4 math assignments behind, physics lab & project 3 history assignments and no time to do THEM! )

Prisoners do that all the time in the movies They make it look so easy

That sounds pretty cool.... "Doublehex The HACKER" Thats the movie title.

...what?

Sorry I'm late, but it seems to me that if such a thing was done, it'd have to be like the eggs...teleported to the nearest available hovel. However, I foresee a problem. If an alien/human was damaged, he wouldn't have to worry as much about being chased with low health and can just appear back to base without going through a whole map to be killed.
