Hi, this is my first visit to this site, and I must say this mod looks quite impressive both in graphics and more importantly in gameplay.
However I have a question, what is the price of respawn?
I gather that is costs you resource, but how much and I what way, and how exactly do you get these resources. And does it take time to respawn (or will it just be another quake fragfest, booooring)?
I know these questions have probably been asked dozerns of times, but one more time canøt hurt. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

good luck, that is going to be a loooonnnnnnggggg wait (but maybe not, we will see)
1. Resources are collected from resource nozzles spread around the map, just like a true real-time strategy. No points for frags here. Personal glory is nothing compared to the team.
2. It does take time to respawn. It isn't a deathmatch instant respawn, but it doesn't make you sit the round out, either. The wait in casual play is about 18 seconds per marine, per infantry portal. Of course, in an emergency, the commander can summon all the marines in the respawn queue at once. For a hefty resource cost, of course.
Hopes this helps.

It definitely does. All the weapons, ammo, health, and items spent on the person that dies goes down with him. This can ultimatly be nearly 100 resources per person, depending on who they are and how long they last.
Also, Infantry Portals and Hives, cost RP's. So, building them is costy, but you are awarded with no respawn cost other then time.
It is possible to pic up the plays current weapon that they had out when they died, for the note. Similar to CS.

Sounds great, I was afraid it would be like Quake where the goal is to rack up as many kills as possible. Sounds like I'll be playing this game in a few days. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
