7 harvesters will make 45.5 res in 6:30 minutes. Seems plausible to me assuming you mass-expanded and the marines did not push. You start with 20 if you took around a minute, perhaps with a couple of gorges, it IS possible.
Well, 7 harvesters, yes, but we held the triangle of Terminal, Departures, Locker, with having East Wing too, until the onos came to Locker and smashed the expansions out. I hope other players being present at the time will come and comment on this.
BTW I filled a report with SteamID, unfortunately, I don't have a replay footage.

I highly doubt this is anyone hacking. This is probably someone cheating through admin abuse.
I experienced a bug once where I was able to go Fade at the start of a game. I had some sort of network issues at home and I was disconnected from the internet in the late stages of a game (was sitting on about 80pres). When I rejoined the server the next game had started but I retained my 80pres. Had completely forgotten about it until I read this, might try and reproduce it later.

Damn you players sitting on 80 unused pres!
In my defense it was one of those games where we had like 7-8 RTs all game and we had W3/A3 and I didnt need anything but a rifle to kill everything.
I have seen it happen once on my servers. A guy got 100 res when he respawned and he evolved into an onos. This was like 3-4 minutes into the game and he is not an admin. I moved him to the readyroom and when he rejoined everything was back to normal. Since I've only seen it once in my 1200+ hours I don't think it's a biggie.
seen this a few times, player gets disconnected but rejoins the server at the start of a new round, but stil has there Pres,
This is an old bug, was fixed long ago, and definitely should not be present in the current build.
If anyone is able to reproduce this please PM me or make a technical support forum thread.
Thanks

Yea, sorry should have said it was quite awhile ago :P
I've had this bug before where I started with 100 pres, and it seems to be related with pregame plus. I crashed during pregame, and when I reconnected the game had already started. I went onos at 2 minutes to make it clear to everyone that there was a bug, admin on the server reset the game so no harm was done.

Yes, I remember it was easy to reproduce long ago, and I remember it was fixed long time ago, didn't encounter in afterwards.
BUT. Just recently (about a week ago, 264) we started a game on Veil, marines reached nano within 1 minute (slightly less, this is important) and WHAM WILD LERK APPEARS. All the marines were like: "wtf, early lerk egg drop?". But the the facts are: You need biomass two (20 res) and it takes something like 20 seconds to upgrade, than lerk (30 res?) and it take about 40 seconds to upgrade, then evolve time, and it's already one minute, not even considering time it takes to click things and time for lerk to reach from sub to nano. And also the fact that they've dropped cysts and two harvesters in nano, there is no way they could have res or time for that tactic.
So I asked the guy, wtf was that, he said: I just spawned with 27 res and decided to go lerk.
For note: server was full of mods, like badges, shine, pgp, player names on minimap, mineshaft fixed, nothing harmful, but still not vanilla.

I think it is possible depending on the map (no. harvester available). I just played a game with a 8:00 onos on mine shaft. We had all res bar 2 in the first 2:30. Because we had enough gorges, you could grow harvesters fast. If you were more efficient, it may be possible to do 6:30 (but would be pushing it).

Don't forget, some servers, like TG award you with Pres amounts equivalent to what the player who left had / should have had (i think) .. so just joining a match mid round can result in an instant fade for you, personally.
I very much enjoy this mod, btw. Wish it was official.

Yes, this sounds probable. The onos guy said only one thing, and that was: "I don't know why the game gave me 100 res." So it might have been this bug.
After you play many games, you get a sort of feeling about the flow of the game. We had solid map control, half the map at least, it struck all team as odd at the moment the onos appeared.
@Kamamura the ns2.pl server does run the pre-game plus plugin so there's a good chance it's the bug that a few people mentioned. I'll pass this info on to the servers head admin.
i seen it happen ages ago, a player who crashed during the previous game returned to the server except his res for the previous match carried on to the new match and he had pretty much an instant onos.
Im the head admin of the BGR naturalselection2.pl server and i guarantee that non of my admins have rights to use cheats (if thay had and use them i would cut there balls off) Pre-Game Plus is probably the problem. I seen it once @Zinkey was going fade when the match started (Teams ware stacked badly). We had a fighting chance thanks to it. It was fun but still no one know what was the cause.

I saw it only one time wich end in onos @ 3 min mark.
It was on our server and happened to one of our members, so adminabuse wasnt the reason.

Too bad my endless drifter-ability spammage and crag backup didnt prove enough for this noob team with a FREE F*CKING ONOS to win.
Was a funny game

6m Onos - all day; every day. Fun gaem.
I really doubt that is still possible though without exploiting a bug or getting like 8 harvesters up instantly and destroying the marines.
