Should it be inbuilt?

    Interesting question. I don't think I have a solid enough idea of what the resource system will look like to make a statement one way or the other.

    What do you mean by inbuilt?

    I'm not sure it's a good idea having aliens pool their resources early in the game. Imagine an NS1 fade within the first minute? And a second hive started within the first minute...

    I think the way it works now is pretty good, where each player has to use their resources (doesn't always succeed in pubs, but meh).

    Well, I think the way it's going to work (and this is mostly my speculation), is that there are two resources (we know this already), but one is a 'team' resource, and one is a 'personal' resource. Changing lifeform could be dependent on spending *both* of those resources (scaled accordingly), if you don't have enough of either (maybe there's a cap on how much you can take out of the total team resources, eg. 30%), you can't change (you'll still need to have the necessary personal resources, regardless). Specific numbers balanced/determined by estimation, experimentation, testing and tweaking.

    But again, what does the OP mean by inbuilt?

    If you mean

    /giveres

    I hope not. 1minute Hive FTL.

    I think he is talking about comands like "/giveres", that wasn't a original part of the game, but were scripted to it. So this command wasn't inbuild. Inbuild would already come in the game.

    And about this problem, I think research tree solves it. Problem is the symmetry.

    OH RIGHT. Yeah, well from what I can tell, the way NS2 is designed makes resource-share unnecessary.
