Relocatation were one of the best things I loved in NS1. Especially when a victorious comeback was accomplished. The Cheers of excitement and the sting of bitter defeats in the readyroom after a match, I still remember clearly.
Extends a maps replayality by a factor of 10.
Adds layers and a depth of strategy that any self respecting RTS should have.

Relocations would be more interesting with 5 tech point maps. Relocations in NS1 were tons of fun but most of the time used to cheese specific maps. In NS1 some successful relocations were basically guaranteed victory (Primary Access Corridor on Eclipse, Cold Turn on Ayumi, some others I can't remember off the top of my head).

It was... but relocations should still be in the game.
All that would happen is that if a comm chair wasn't on a tech point you wouldn't receive the tech bonus for it. So, I think this thread is still 100% relevant.
Someone can easily mod this into the game. I tried to once, and a dev gave me the line of code. The problem is that the code needs to be changed in several lua files and I got lost. Also the client and server needed to both have the files for it to work, which made it next to impossible to test public. I think now with steam workshop it would work again!
Someone should honestly mod this into the game, and put it on steam workshop or find a way to make it work for people.
Relocations just added a new depth and replay value to the game. With the added tech point at marine start a relocation isn't nearly as powerful as it was before, but it should still be available.
I used to enjoy in some situations relocations in NS1 but I cant see how this could work fairly without a change on maps. To start it might be worth having one map adapted to it and see how it works out but I'm not for it for NS2 until it's tested thoroughly.
The whole 2 CC requirement is a bit silly anyways. You want to control atleast one hive location as marines in any case or youre going to give aliens potential 3 hives + one additional easy to hold harvester. All it does is limit marine comms choices for not really any reason.
Would be nice if some servers featured this at least. Though it may be difficult with the 2 CC for proto system. What if you relocate to a non tech point, then you would have to get 2 more CCs just for a protolab? Isn't very feasible.
It'd probably just be better to get rid of the 2 CC requirement as well, in a mod that features this reloc system.

That noise is the sound of freedom

This would be cool for hives too - I mean if the commander makes a bad decision then whatever.
The thing that I like about it is,not only does it give you a lot of choice, but it extends the replayablity of a map many times.
