Dropship Hijacks

[LocalizedDownpour]

Is it possible on big red or Ice for the queen to get to the control console and pull the alamo down before the marines even drop?

I realize it would be meta to do this however...but is it possible?

Invade the Almeyer during briefing with T1s...crash it into briefing killing everyone.

An LZ-1 hive with the queen ovi'd next to the console continually locking the ship would be funny. Shame you would get banned for the metagaming aspect however.

Should be possible? I don't know how it would work with the new 12:25 dropship lock

Closest I've seen to this was on Ice Map. Due to comms being down and a understaffed CIC Delta and Charlie were massacred on the planet. By the time the POs and SOs realised Charlie and Delta were getting messed up and dying the LZ was nearly lost. Normandy went down. Was lost. Xeno Queen (Blood for the Blood God Queen) gutted the bodies of the marines and had the whole hive get on DS2 and they went up to the Almayer. At the same time a recall of the two crippled squads (had some contact with T3s) was sounded and they came up as well. The initial pics was actually early game. An hour or two in. The second pic is VERY late game. The match lasted four hours of brutal back and forth. In the end it was a marine win. Barely. Less then fifteen marines standing and very few crew left. The whole Almayer was dark too (and this was before the update where DS crash makes the Almayer go dark mostly)


The massacre of LZ2

The result on the ship after fierce combat.

EDIT: Fairly certain in saying the xenos came up a second time too...

I don't understand how a 4 hour round is related to topic
all you said was some marines got beaten early on

It is not possible via mechanics. In fact, if the Queen manages to roll the Marines incredibly early, she won't be able to call for a fair amount of time
