Transit (Transit Station)

On Transit, the default human base is very weak (no turrets!). Humans must build or move very quickly.

For moving, see http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=559#8016 f. for a description of good human base locations.

Once the human base is relatively secure, humans usually stay close to the base (camp) until S2. This is because Transit is a very vertical map, making jetpacks almost required to get around. The large size of the map also makes a helmet important for locating aliens.

Aliens usually build their base in one of three locations:

• The “sandbox” - this is the default alien base, and the lowest point in the map. It is most vulnerable to grenade/luci/psaw attack through the small vent.

• The train (Probably the weakest alien base). The train has two cars - both are easy for humans to attack. The train car with the top hatch can be fired into with pulse/luci. The train car with rear door can be fired into through this entrance.

• The escalator junction (May be the strongest alien base). It's difficult for humans to get near without exposure to attack. It helps if some humans stay at the bottom of the escalator, spraying pulse rifle fire upwards while others head to the top to deliver luci shots or painsaw to the base area.

For jetpackers, the best route is through the crate/walkway room, dropping down through the access area above the train.

For battlesuits, the best route is down the “blood” hallway.

On this map, the greatest threat to humans is isolated alien eggs. Smart grangers will place several eggs underneath the train and on the ceiling of the train cavern. These are surprisingly hard to find, even with helmets!

Starting Alien base.

This is my favorite. Be alien, around s1 or s2 if the humans are stupid enough and come from the bloody hallway side towards the human base. The hard part is then sneaking into the guttery thing on the side of the base on hallway side. From there climb to the top of the pillars that are just next to the gutter. Due to line of sight it is very hard to see you and i waited for a while until i found a human with no armor just purchase a chaingun then head bite, ankle bit evolve point. Only do this as dretch. you will die by turret. With practice i perfected this skill so can you.

Also aliens: When you get obliterated due to battlesuits knocking down your door because of the 3 noob feeders that you tried to votekick, eggspam with advanced grangers. EVERYWHERE. alternate. try the ceiling above traintracks because human vision can be easily obscured by all the support beams and humans tend to forget the room with the two escalators leading to it. There is also alot of space under the trains. This is one of the few map where i have come back from an alien obliteration more than twice.
