Spawn Point Disconnects?
« on: July 06, 2003, 12:00:19 PM »
Tell me again why killing a vehicle hangar also kills its spawn points.  Color me duh, but I can't make the connection between a vehicle hangar getting trashed also eliminating all its several spawn points many miles away.  Those are some kinda powerful jabo bombs!

When you kill a field's vehicle hangar, you eliminate that field's ability to spawn vehicles. The remote spawn points are a game-balance mechanism to keep vehicles useful for the attack, instead of having to spend hours driving from the vehicle hangar to another field. You are still launching from the field, whether you spawn at the VH or at one of the remote spawn points; when the VH is destroyed, you can't spawn anywhere from that VH.

Mmmmm, uhhhhhh, okayyyyyyy ... thanks ... I shoulda remembered that, but lately I was taking the map too literally.  

This is definitely a cult game, much oral history as in pagan tribes.  On with the bonding, down with the vehicle hangars!
