<div class="IPBDescription">this seem a bit silly</div> I was reading in another thread that's now locked, and DarkFrost said that with FF on, aliens get res for killing their teammates. Playing clan games always looked a bit too stressful for my liking, so I didn't notice.

But my question is, isn't this really exploitable? Couldn't you just pump a huge amount of res into one alien by letting him sit there and eat everyone one the spawn? I haven't heard and clanners talk about this, so I guess it doesn't work, but has anyone tried it?

Reading the public beta forums, clan players seem to think that the res for kills is a reason why the aliens can expand so quickly (since it breaks the shared resource model that alien costs are based upon), and this would seem like an easy way to take full advantage of it.

[EDIT] Corrected my reference. Sorry gc.philey, its that pink drawing the eye <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> [/edit]

    Even so, with respawn times etc, the ammount of time it would take 1 skulk to eat enough other skulks to get a meaningfull amount of res would slow the aliens down no end.

    So yes its probably exploitable, however it would be a bad exploit to put into practice.
