    I guess it'd just be one alien against one marine in that case. If FF was enabled on that particular server, then you could also have alien v alien <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://66.78.33.98/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I do see the concern though...with only one marine, he'd have a very hard time getting new weapons and stuff, and he'd probably be stuck with his bog standard light machine gun.

    ....... so the game cant have players come in and play when there in the middle of a game? well.... what i mean is like picture just a marine or just a alien and no one on the other team does that mean when someone gets on the team thats empty the game will restart so the other team wont be any closer to your base?

    People can join in the middle of a game (the aliens just have to wait in 'limbo' (in the middle of a womb-egg) till their RP count gets high enough (from the injection from the RP-buildings) at which point they spawn (literally, and in game terms. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://66.78.33.98/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> )

    The marines just float in limbo until the commander calls for them (using RP to spawn them).

    Well basically number of aliens able to be respawn should be directionally portioned to humans ability to call in "reinforcements" balancing it off during play so it will be very annoying if you just died and then the humans get slaughtered leaving you in limbo until the humans get the numbers up right?

    Nope. Actually, the ability to respawn is proportional to the ability of the team to kill the enemy. You get RP for killing the enemy, ergo, you can respawn faster. Except for the aliens... unless a tax system is implemented... hmmm...
