Deconstruct enemy structures for res

ScardyBob

As the title says, since the removal of RFK, there isn't any way for players to get additional res except for capturing more res nodes. So my thought is to put it back in, except only apply the res gain from deconstructing harvesters/extractors. In particular, this ability would be limited to
For marines = only using the welder on an alien structure will gain res
For aliens = only using the gorge spit attack on a marine structure will gain res (or remake this attack into a specific 'structure eating/absorbing' attack)

Also, I would set the value as something like you get 1TRes and 0.25PRes for every 500 damage you do to the structure, so you are helping both yourself and your team get more res.

I like this. I would prefer that the payback is based on a percentage of the total res cost of the structure. So if an enemy structure was built for 40 res, and we are paying attackers back at a 25% rate, then you would get back 5 res for doing 50% of the damage (40*25%=10*50%=5).

I think a player already gets around +5 "score" for killing an enemy structure, but that is less important.

That would work too. I mainly proposed the res/damage to structure because it would be more consistent between structures, i.e. if I do 500 damage to a hive vs 500 damage to a whip, I'm getting the same amount of res. However, if you wanted to make certain structures more valuable to deconstruct, then your system would be preferred.

The problem is selfish players will be tagging the RTs while the comm is begging for help. But of course, no one would do this. Right? .... right?
