At 100 Player Res, does your incoming Res redistribute?

I've never seen this mentioned except once ingame, and I've never tested it, so I'd like some clarification.
When a player is at 100 p.res and they're going to get say, 1 res on the next tick and there are 4 other members on the team excluding commander, do the other players get an additional .25 res each? Is there an effect on t.res if players hold onto res this way as well?

Commander t.res are capped at 200 by the way, but a good commander will never sit on that amount of t.res.
EDIT: Apparently p.res overflow was taken out? Either way, doesn't really matter.
Also, does the overflow from p.res increase the t.res per tick as well?
Basically: Extractors give both p.res and t.res. P.res is what all players get to spend on weapons and lifeforms, t.res is what only the commanders can spend. The two come from the same source but don't interact. (Though commanders can also drop weapons and lifeforms with t.res allowing players to spend or save their p.res)
Anyway, you should never be at 100 p.res except very late into a game when you've already won anyway (and you are already playing as a higher lifeform). Likewise your comm should never sit on 200 t.res, ever.
There is no mention of overflow anywhere as far as I can tell, though. I'm asking for a more in-depth description of that system if it exists. There appears to be conflicting info though so I guess I should just test it with some friends once the server clears tonight and know for myself?
- Every RT will give 1 TRes to the team and 0.125 PRes to each player every interval
- An interval is 6s
- PRes is capped at 100 for each player and TRes is capped at 200
- There is no overflow for either PRes or TRes (res past the cap is lost)
- The comm/kharaa doesn't gain PRes when in the comm station/hive
- Players don't gain PRes when dead
Just for my sanity, I'll double check later with a quick test, but I appreciate you clearing it up.
also if you are really good, you will eventually hit 100res but have nothing to evolve it on.
Happens rarely I know. but with the newbie weekend.. XD
