Has this idea been thrown across yet?

There are some situations where the team resources are low and everyone is in need of upgrades and "donating" res to the comm would really help IMO. Or if theres a team member in need of something and you'd like to gift him some res they could go and buy something nice for themselves.

Thoughts?

    If you're talking strictly play res, you can already do this in a sense by buying weapons for people. I don't think you should be able to give actual pres to the commander though, he should have to intelligently manage his pres for medpacks and weapon drops. If the comm goes spam-happy with unecessary medpacks, then he is penalized by running out of pres. If he intelligently drops just enough meds and ammo he is rewarded by being able to sustain his support indefinitely.

    If you're talking about donating pres for tres, then I think that's a very bad idea that would imbalance the game.

    yes I meant "pres to tres"...are people really calling it that? anyways.... the same would apply to aliens, not only marines. Imo it wouldn't imbalance the game, just make it more intense...

    there's 0 chance that pres->tres would be balanced at all. imagine on a 10v10 server, all the marines donating their pres to the comm, and 3 minutes later they have exo suits researched. aliens are limited by hive energy so a similar system wouldn't even benefit them.
