As you will see in the <a href="alien_bacterium.html">Bacterium</a>
|
|
and <a href="alien_gridlock.html">Bacterial Gridlock</a>
|
|
sections, the Kharaa have a kind of network of
|
|
their own – that is constantly struggling with
|
|
ours on a microscopic level. Though they have
|
|
no commander or leader, they can clearly receive
|
|
and send information, coordinate their efforts
|
|
to respond to threats, and organize assaults.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The nano-battle between the bacterium and our
|
|
nanotech creates what has been termed "nano-gridlock".
|
|
It greatly reduces the effectiveness of the commander,
|
|
in the following ways: </p>
|
|
<p><b class="sectiontext">Blindness</b><br>
|
|
The commander cannot see the Kharaa, or their
|
|
hives or chambers, unless marines are nearby.
|
|
Every Frontiersman has a defensive nano-grid,
|
|
originally used to protect them against enemy
|
|
biological and nanotech attacks. These screens
|
|
clear away some of the gridlock from the local
|
|
command network, allowing commanders to see enemy
|
|
threats before troops on the ground can. Listen
|
|
to your commander – it can save your life. See
|
|
also <a href="front_upgrades_motiontracking.html">motion
|
|
tracking</a> and <a href="items_scanner.html">sensor
|
|
sweep</a> for other methods of detecting the alien
|
|
presence.</p>
|
|
<p><b class="sectiontext">Build limits</b><br>
|
|
The bacterium interferes with construction, making
|
|
it difficult to create structures, or drop weapons.
|
|
Bases provide "clean" zones, and some
|
|
Frontiersmen towers – like the turret factory
|
|
for instance, have boosted nano-signatures that
|
|
resist meddling. Once built, many structures allow
|
|
other structures and equipment to be created nearby.
|
|
Ammo and medkits can be dropped anywhere –
|
|
due to their simple design and some clever TSA
|
|
hacking.</p>
