If it was up to me both KB and pods would be removed from the game.
Instead of pods you would be dead with time_dead[s] = game_minutes * 2.
Congratz, at 30 minutes your are dead for a minute. no relaunching to defend the base again.
If the game for whatever reason is still running at 60 minutes youre dead for 2 minutes.
This removes pods that noone likes, kb that noone needs and has a big potential to shorten the average game time which many expressed was too long. (5 hour game - dead for 10 minutes? not gonna happen, someone WILL win before)
Then again, maybe its good its not up to me

Still ready to teach anyone who asks nicely whatever they want to know about playing alleg. Contrary to popular opinion I do not eat newbies. Voobs taste much better.

However its still an idea for when pods are off... Instantrespawn just doesnt make sense in Conquest

I really like the dump air ideaSpunkmeyer wrote:QUOTE (Spunkmeyer @ Jul 25 2012, 08:37 AM) We could actually decouple this from the KB concern by adding a "dump air" key (yeah code change but it's simple). The net effect would be you could always have your 5 mins if you wanted.
There is still the question of whether something like a 2-min minimum is healthy for the game.
