<div class="IPBDescription">Questions about Motion Tracking, recyc</div> 1. Let's say everyone on my team kill's themselves at the same time; one second later, I press the emergency beacon, will everyone spawn back in?
Or does it only spawn back people in who have been dead for a period of time? If there is a period of time, how long is it?
2. When the marines recycle something, do they get back full ressources for it? When a ressource tower is being recycled, does it still gain ressources? or does it stop gaining ressources as soon as it is being recycled?
3.If I'm upgrading weapon/armor, adv amrory, motion tracking upgrades, and it's almost done, but I cancel it, because the building is almost dead, do I get back full ressources from that upgrade? or a portion of it?
4. I hear that if you place to many mines, it will crash the server. If there is any truth to this; how many mines is "too many"?

2.) Not sure I would assume at least half resources but I don't recycle much
3.) At least half I don't quite know the exact amount
4.) Lots. No idea on full nember.

when you die short time before the destress sound comes you wont respawn.
what is with that short delay form death to waiting to respawn anyways?
Well at least they say 1.1 will
<!--QuoteBegin-- NS v1.1 changelog+--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> ( NS v1.1 changelog)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->- Huge server performance improvements (should be around half the CPU usage)<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
so i would think in 1.1 the ammount of mines you may be able to put may double?.. and more? i wonder...

You get the resources back after the recycle processes has finished. If the building goes before the recycle has finished then you lose the rps spent on that building
What it is is infact is too many entities. This can happen with turret spam, OC spam, medpack spam, ammo spam, etc
Basiclly, too many mines is enough mines to add to the amount of buildings and map entities to cause the server to crash.
People say mines, due to the fact that for 8 res you get 5 entities, so it is the cheapest and easist way to produce them
Babbler spam is rare to crash a server, but it can happen as well(maybe 10 ppl gorge with adren and release em)

Since nobody actually answered question 2 or 3 (correctly)...
> 2. When the marines recycle something, do they get back full ressources for it?
No, they get half.
> When a ressource tower is being recycled, does it still gain ressources?
Yes.
> or does it stop gaining ressources as soon as it is being recycled?
It'll still gain resources and upon completion of recycling, you gain 11 res.
> 3.If I'm upgrading weapon/armor, adv amrory, motion tracking upgrades, and it's almost done, but I cancel it, because the building is almost dead, do I get back full ressources from that upgrade? or a portion of it?
If you cancel an upgrade, you get full res back. The only thing you lose is the time you've spent on it. Obviously, this is rather a huge setback for things like lvl 3 upgrades that take forever.
If you need to use the beacon while the obs is researching MT, by all means, cancel it, beacon, and then re-research it.
