Didn't see one of the threads on the same subject so I thought I'd start a new one.

The default for commander eject vote is too low. It needs to be at LEAST 51%.

Today for example, I was kicked for refusing to give a "truly l33t" moro... err... marine a jetpack. At the time, HA + HMG marines were what we needed and we were trying to fortify a position near a hive long enough to set up a siege turret. No mattet to l33t boy. He wanted his jetpack NOW.

So I was kicked by approximately 3 people out of a team of 9 or 10. We proceeded to lose the game.

Pleeeease - up the default in the next patch. Please?

    Its defaulted to .3 in the server cfg and can be changed in aproximatly a milisecond. Hell i dont even run a server but i know whats in there and what it does, why cant the admins?

    Seems most servers don't have this, as getting kicked out was almost inevitible a few days ago. In fact, I got a good strategy going too. The moment people started trying to kick me out, or I get the smallest vibe I was about to be kicked out, I'd log out and wait for someone else to get in. I would proceed to kick them, and sure enough, others always joined in. I was usually fine for the rest of the game, but sometimes they got mad and got others to kick me out anyway. (Mind you I'm not a bad commander, I'm a good one, but people like to kick for no reason.)

    I agree - I've lost a lot of great commanders due to a group of people just out to be power hungry or spoil games for people, when the MAJORITY love what the commander is doing.

    the secret to being commander when you have people kicking everyone is waiting for the first few people to be kicked so no one else can kick you from your team cause they already used there kick <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    default is 2, sever ops haveta up it, it's in the cfg files of the thingy. percentage I don't have time to check, but all aspects of it can be changed by the server op, contact your local op to get it onto your servers.

    I know you can change it, but as mentioned, many admins don't. That's why I'd like to see the DEFAULT at a more reasonable level.

    I got kicked tonight in a server...I think by just one guy. Small server...like 8 on the team I think. When I started asking why i was kicked...3 or 4 different people started asking..."What, you were doing good, how did you get kicked?" Never fails. When we WANT to kick a bad commander it seems either no one votes or the 5 people that do vote don't get counted. But in another server I started a vote to kick the commander and I voted once and he was kicked a second later. I wonder if it only takes one person in some servers? Seems like a bad thing...that midnight madness is way to easy to do then.

    lol today I was playing as an alien and every single marine was voted off and thus banned, they had no commander :-P

    what's fun to do is when you are an alien and your team has basically no chance of winning, you get 3 or 4 people to go marine and kick their commander. then proceed to recycle every building you can. so much fun has come from this.

    - UP THOSE n00BS WHO WANTS HMGS NADE LAUNCHERS AT THE 1st 5 MINUTES OF THE GAME
    i was a commander and a stupid n00b ask me for a nade launcher threatening to eject me while i was expanding a small outpost on a few resource nozzles, he kept on spamming on team chat, and finally casted a vote on me,then another n00b who wants a jetpack casted a vote against me and they ended up taking over,dropping shotties all over the floor at spawn and stopped the whole team's base expanding(not to mention alien took over nearly all the resource nozzles and hives)...... endedup having 1 resource tower and 4 turrets at base defend vs 4 onos with stupid shotties......seriously need to increase the numbers of vote to eject commander

    another lesson here - shotties are a waste of resources and time

    LOL. Yeah, I had one once that was <b>demanding</b> that I give him some kind of super-advanced pistol as a backup weapons. He couldn't seem to understand that one isn't in existence <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I also love getting banned by idiots that keep demanding grenade launchers, then run off with no support and get themselves killed. or one man armies that decide to attack a heavily fortified area all by their lonesome, and are nothing more than a drain on resources....

    most admins keep the default settings

    so yes, the default setting should be raised to at least 0.51
