Resources - Need Help

My clan are currently in a match conflict with a team we thrashed on Clanbase. Their arguement is that they lost one of the rounds because as marines I crashed out a few times having to reboot and that in this time our team gained resources to compensate for my dropping and that the server was incorrectly set up so it did this.

I'm sure this isn't right, as aliens yes because the resources are shared but marines I understand you get the same resources no matter how many players you have .. could one or two please confirm or correct me on this.

    Marines as a team always get resources at the same rate, unless you have resource balancing set up to give an outnumbering team less resources. Only the commander can spend resources, of course.

    Aliens always share resources, and if there are less Aliens on the server, then those aliens get bigger hunks of the pie for each one.

    Whoever you were playing against is whinning anyways. I mean, for a moment they outnumbered you. You actually helped them by dropping a few times.

    Is this resource balancing sorted out in tournament mode? cos we're were using tourney mode.

    It's a cvar, I believe. Depends on what you have it set too. CVARs sometimes override tourney or casual mode.

    that's not necessarily true, a cvar is just a variable.

    It really depends on how the internal code of ns is setup to determine what happens when tourney mode is on and there's a handicap in place. I'm not saying that I actually know since I've never played in tourney mode, just saying that the previous blanket statement is flawed.

    I'd have to say thats pretty ridiculous statement for them to say. Being a man down in a scrim (especially since one is comm... you only have 4 marines out and about) leaves you very vulnerable to a rush of any type by the aliens.

    Sounds like some excuses made up by some sore losers.

    well the fact that they're whining because they're sore losers isn't really up for debate, we all know that they're whiners, the question is whether their whining has even a smidgen of a foundation
