Jetpack Bug?

Daphisto

<div class="IPBDescription">noticed this on docking a few times</div>I noticed that on docking (it might happen on other maps too, not sure), after we research jetpacks, when a 2nd CC is destroyed, we can still buy jetpacks from the proto lab. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this?

I noticed this today as well - can't remember which maps. I thought perhaps it was a server-side mod. Later on it didn't happen on another map, so if you saw it just on Docking I'd believe you.

I wonder if you could buy them without placing the second cc. With aliens, I have been able to use their upgrades before the commander upgrades. I have only seen fade an onos do that. Seems like a similar bug though.

It is a bug (won't say how to do it), I'm pretty sure they are aware of it.

We are not.
Someone please PM me or steam me how to reproduce it so we can have this fixed before next patch.
Thanks

Thank you for not posting it publicly in the forums, and thank you in advance for helping the devs reproduce/fix it!

Commanded yesterday on ns_tram, tried to buy jetpacks after the 2nd CC went down and it didn't work. Seems not to be a general problem.

It happened in Docking too. Played as Aliens and kept seeing JPs even after we surrounded them.

Oh its a bug, I though it was intended. If jp's where researched and the 2nd cc is killed I though you kept jetpacks and the ability to buy them.

I saw a funny match this afternoon.

Aliens killed 2nd CC then marine comm rage recycles the base.... meanwhile about 3 or 4 marines still with jps rush into locker room and take out a hive and a bunch of alien upgrades.

Then, marines realize they still have a chance and someone pops back into the comm chair and begins rebuilding the base! Marines realize the have access to JPs and start taking back the map.

Not sure who won, I ended up leaving after 25 mins of stalemate. :)
