    So I was playing with Hella this afternoon, and I watched him and NinjaCell build the greatest invention in the Beta so far: Hella's Super Epic Underground Port of Epicness (v. 01) Hella's Super Epic Sub-Oceanic Uber-Port (Pat. Pending) [v. 01]

    The basic concept is that if you create a drain from a body of water to a cavern, you can build an underground stream and connect it to a lake. When you unpack a boat in the cave and ride it into the lake, it'll float up to the surface, almost as if out of nowhere. Then, you can launch surprise boat attacks from the bottom of the lake under the cover of night! It'll scare the shit out of them, just as it scared me the first time I saw it.

    Keep in mind that this is not a trap, just an ultra cool way to have fun with the beta. Yeah, it's minecrafting, but it's an awesome way to attack another team and works 100% of the time.

    I like underwater kegs, or bombs, or anything that explodes.

    Translation: MOAR DOORS.

    If it hadn't been an entire island away from the main action at the time, more doors would have been added. As such, I also built a canal through the next island, the central island on Arcrave's SHARK War server. Needless to say, it was a beautiful thing.

    The only sad thing is about things like this, is 4 seconds with a drill and its toast. :(

    I still think Drills shouldn't work under water.

    That sounds like a pretty good suggestion, actually. If they were cooled by water, but couldn't work in it, I could still maintain my habitual watery tunnels for drilling speed, but the ridiculous flooding using drills would be impossible.

    I like it. I like it a lot.

    However, then water bases would just be completely OP, as the only way to get at them then would be suicide keging (have to hold the keg while lit because it floats). So one archer camping in your base and its set for life... Oh and cata rocks do enormous damage underwater too so idk.

    ill most likely make drills not work in water anyway, this design was very effective as long as there is a builder to defend it... it was destroyed after you left because your team lacked decent builders

    wait, you built a tunnel large enough for a boat to get through halfway across the map?
