<div class="IPBDescription">Pay res for instant spawn.</div>What do people think of having the ability to pay res to instantly spawn whatever marine is currently spawning in an infantry portal? Say something like 3-5 res.

    Would make it way too difficult to surprise-attack a marine base that is defended by a single marine. The marine could just keep spawning in as soon as he dies. The commander wouldn't see any need at all anymore to get out of his chair.
    If you want to enhance the respawn of your team, build more IPs so players don't even get to queue up.

    At a cost of 5 res every spawn that would add up rather quickly. And the commander would still need to get out of the chair if there are no dead marines spawning.

    You're assuming that the marine dies 10 times while fighting whatever is in base. While that's not unheard of, it's hardly cost-efficient OR smart to continue suiciding a marine. Most times it's a single skulk in base, and a single skulk will have a very hard time dealing with even ONE instant-respawning marine.
