Why after all of this time does the game often fail to not inform the marine commander that the power in the base in under attack. I lost another game as marine comm today because I got ZERO, NADA, ZILCH that told me my base was under attack. I always look at the map as often as I possibly can for this very reason. But as usual, when I am in the heart of helping the team take down a hive, I get nothing that tells me our own base is under attack. I can't stare at it constantly. And considering it takes many seconds to take down power for example, you'd think it would tell me at least once in that time. But nope, I got nothing.
In many of my other threads I have said how badly marines get owned. So here is my one idea that I think would help and not change balance in any way. We need a message from the game whenever key buildings are under attack. Even better to give us a different message as well to emphasize the issue.
How about this:
Whenever power, comm chair, obs or phase gate in a room with a command chair is under attack, report this condition. Above all other messages, sound effects, game clicks, whatever. REPORT THIS MESSAGE.
Example message: "Power in Sub Access is under attack".
I consider this a long-standing and VERY annoying bug in NS2. It needs to be fixed, not balanced.
