  Far as i know its the same for marines and for aliens its all aliens get the same resources (no extra for gorge) and the max at 33 and 66 is gone.

  Doesn't seem like it'd require that long of an explanation. ALL members of an alien team now split the res coming from res towers equally. I believe its about 1 res every 4 seconds per res tower. Gorges can suck a node at a rate of about 1 res every 2 seconds(as opposed to 1/6th of a res every 4 seconds on a 6 man team), so you can see just _how quickly_ a gorge can suck res. As the gorge gets more and more full of res, he starts to suck at a slightly slower rate(How low does it go? .3?), but still considerably faster then 1 res node would give them. Marine res system is unchanged afaik.

  if i haven't read it wrong, didn't it say 4 res per second? I can be wrong though.

  So what keeps lamers from going Gorge and then sucking res from nodes instead of building res chambers on them to get res for themselves faster so they can get OWNOSESS!!11 sooner?

  In the changelog, Flayra says the rate at which a Gorge sucks (...) is 0.4 res per second.

  nothing keeps them from doing that, just like nothing kept anyone from going gorge and not dropping any nodes and just wasting a whole team's resources and losing the game for them in 1.04. The only difference is now, if someone goes gorge, it doesn't matter because they aren't actually _taking_ any resources from you. As long as you have 1 good gorge, someone going gorge and sucking for onos isn't a bad thing, in clan play its almost a necessity. If they die, its not a huge deal(unless you were actually counting on them to do something), and if they stay alive and do get onos, then they could win the game for you =[
