has anyone been in this situation: where you've relocated and you've setup a base somewhere and your going good when all the sudden a few aliens start attacking the 1st commchair your in. so you either get out and shoot them or you let them kill the commchair. then they kill you. and while your respawning some <span style='color:white'>thank you for not dodging the swear filter</span> jumps in and recycles everything then quickly logs out <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> this has happended to me many times and there should be a way to stop this. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

i suggest recycling of buildings should be cancelled when a commander log-outs or is ejected. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> any other suggestions?

    Its a tough one. If you could cancel a recycle then it wouldn't really mean anything to recycle, and the alien would always have to finish it off.

    In the same way if recycle stopped when you exited chair then everytime a recycling res node got saved the comm would jump out and wait.

    I think maybe when a comm gets ejected the buildings should stop recycling, but thats it, and that still has issues. I could easily see a comm yelling, "eject me eject me" to save something thats recycling.

    I would just suggest that when something is recycled it show up like the drops/purchases. And if someone recycles a buncha stuff and gets ejected then the recycle should stop only in non-tourny mode.

    Its one of those things where it happens less on better servers. Simply because griefers like these get banned. So thats the way to go am afraid, if the admins don't ban this guy then do find a new better server.

    If a comm is ejected he can't get back in the chair until the next game, so anyone who asks to be ejected might want to rethink that.

    Unfortunately that is not true, as of 2.0 you just get KICKED from the CC, rather than banned for 3 hours or so. Also, it takes more time to get people to realize the lamer is recycling everything and put their vote in than it takes to start recycling everything.

    you get ejected from the comm chair, and cannot re-enter until the next game. It's been this way from the beginning, there is no "time ban" associated with ejection. If the round ends 2 minutes after you get ejected, you can go comm the next game.

    What really sucks is when you have a decent comm, but you think you or someone else could do better, so you vote eject him, and before he get kicked out, he recycles everything he can <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
