Marine Blue Ghost Structures

Question...

Does hitting a ghost marine structure return TRes to the marine team? As in, not destroying, if a skulk hits a dropped PG before it is built, should the res return to the team, or are they supposed to lose the res investment?

I was under the impression that marine res remained tied up in Blue Ghost structures, but upon contact, the structure disappears, and the res is returned to marines.

However, I noticed recently that this doesn't seem to happen. The res now appears to be lost when a ghost structure is touched. Is this a bug, or a change in gameplay rules I have missed?

    If the ghost is destroyed the res goes back into the res pool

    It's not necessaarily so. If the ghost structure is touched aka "poofed" the res goes back in the pool
    However the ghost structure has also HP and can be destroyed with range weapons. If the buildign is destroyed this way all the res used are lost.

    Confirmed. Skulk bite ghosts structures; Spikes, Spit and Bile Bomb do not. Upon destruction, 100% of invested res is lost, but the Com can cancel them himself at any point for a flat 75% refund.
