<div class="IPBDescription">the awful, awful lies!!</div> i keep hearing this, and it's totally untrue "You can only spawn from 3 ips max" . this is CATEGORICALLY false!!! you can spawn from as many as you like to put down. i think my record is 6? or so. ALL "reinforcing".
so please, spread the truth, stop spreading the lies ! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

A IP for each rine is total pownage. Good if you got insane res.

I'd say someone check. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> post screenies
If you want to rest, have the whole team suicide all at once.
Even if you can spawn more than three at a time, beacon is still totally useful because of the ten second delay it takes for marines to go from dead to spawned.</span>
Highly abusable, and a pain to code <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Think of it as insta phase, considering no research required, one at each RT and no alien could touch your res, as you beacon them to each RT that comes under attack. No more relying on rines to do it themselves, but have them there no matter what even if they were dead.
Example, Obs at spawn, a single obs per RT.
RT under attack beacon everyone there get RFK from rine kills and save RT. Do this to say 5-6 RT's you will easily get your 15 res investment back. Not to mention coordinate your team more.
Obs rush hives.

Sneak a marine into the alien hive and ninja bacon instead of phase. IF you can save up 60 res before hand (not hard) thats four times your entire team spawns directly into their hive with about 5 seconds in between spawnings if its really needed.
There really wouldnt be a defense besides having to lame up every entryway and hiding spot in each hive.
All and all... I've made FIELDS of IPs with 9 players and they all spawned.. (in most every patch I've done this).. if you're losing it's a great way to confuse the Alien team.. it's just like whack-a-mole
[Edit: As for the Bacon idea.. that's not too bad of an idea... but they've have to change it to just living players and add some sort of second bacon (maybe it's crispier) but yeah.. it'd be more useful so the newbs are FORCED to go where u want them]

I like the idea, someone make it a plugin <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You have to have somewhere you _know_ it's okay to spawn to... An info_team_start or something that is the size of the marine, and can't be placed so it's stuck in the map. Unfortunately, there isn't such an entity, at least not one that I can think of.
Of course, I'm still fairly new to metamod coding... But even if you had the full source code of NS, you'd still have <b>major</b> difficulties implementing it, and at best you would be able to make it work buggily.
