Distress Beacon Bug

Tyrain

<div class="IPBDescription">cause i can't post it in bug forum</div> At the moment if the distress beacon is activated all the marines are beamed to the <b>marine start point</b>. Instead they should be beamed to the observatory or CC that gave this command.

Er, this isn't a bug. That's how it's meant to work.

Yep. That's the danger of moving your base at the beginning of the game, or losing your base and being force to rebuild in a hive or another area.

Coil's comment applies on most maps, except for Nancy. The marine spawn and the location of their 'base' (the bridge) are two separate places. Sure, they're close together, but aliens can build in the spawn and catch any marines that get beacon'd in.

another beacon bug was once it spawned everyone on my team except me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Tyrain, the reason that you "can't post in the bug forum" is that the bug forum is moderated. That means that one of us mods has to manually approve your post before it actually appears in the forum. This helps us keep people from posting bugs that have already been posted, as well as preventing exploits from getting out.

This is all beside the point that, as described above, it's not really a bug. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

That may not be a bug, but it is a bit irritating to hear the distress alarm go off while you're dead, and NOT respawn because your status has been updated to 'REIN'. Sure, that only delays 2 or 3 players, but if you're paying for a distress beacon you need help immediately.

And maybe if you read around in the bugs froum, you would understand...
