There was this awesome 12v12 game last Saturday, we were IC. It's a bit hazy now but I think what I'm saying here is what happened - if I'm wrong then do flame away.
Our garrison got captured - and then we managed to capture it back. However new cons we then built - came out of an outpost two sectors away! I guess this was our next-oldest base (I joined 20 minutes in so can't be sure). They had built in the sector between those - so if it wasn't for the fact we still had a home tp - this could've been a game-breaker. As it was, we went on to win anyway (best pickup team I've played on in a long, long time)
This doesn't make sense to me. Surely cons should come out of the garrison, if you have one? Isn't that the main point of garrisons - to let you build other bases? Failing that - shouldn't they come out of a tech base?
Cons popping out of wrong bases

They should come out of the garrison but they don't. Its always the teams oldest base, when you lose a base from being capped the next oldest base is put on instead and the queue gets popped. The fact that the base was originally yours is a null point.
What would be cool (R5 mabye) is that if you buy multiple garrisons you can specify which ones your cons launch from. Forward garr!!!!.
