it seems like whenever the hive is at fabrication, at the start of the round as alien comm, you cannot place crists at all. This is a serious bug that has been overlooked and needs to be addressed this instant.

Without proper repro steps it's hard to fix. I for one am unable to get it to break it... Also there are a few more things that would help, did the server have mods installed or was it spewing out errors causing lag/low tickrate. Things like that are quite valuable, especially if there was an error log available from the server.
Simply saying, this happened go fix it, doesn't help us much

Its not descent perse, its on many more maps. Its near impossible to reproduce and every shred I can get on this problem, I post in the tech topic someone made a while back.
I experienced this earlier myself. The server was running a few mods ( I don't recall which but I know 'Better NS2' and 'Shine admin' were amongst them.
We still managed to claw to victory by dropping a 2nd hive very quickly and expanding from there.
I had it also on Descent, Fabrication spawn. Server was "GamingDeluxe.co.uk Blue Eyed Dragon Vexta Gaming", with NSStats and NSLSpectatorLights installed.
Not sure if it was related to that new cysting tutorial that came up because I had Commander Help enabled. It showed the cyst button in green and asked me to drop a cyst at the next RT point, which was not working though. It showed the cyst ghost model in green, ready to be dropped, but without any connection lines coming from the Hive. The only place where I managed to actually drop a cyst was within the minimum radius of the already placed cysts that led to the RT in the base, causing them to pop.
