I'm so against this idea. what about increasing the oxygen consumption instead? Maybe the aliens have less effective lungs than humans.

otherwise:
t_pod= 180s+(kb/30)*120s
I have a johnson photo in my profile since 2010.

can no one simplify equations these days?

i Mean
air [s] = 300 * rank / 30
is basically air [s] = 10*rank :S

also t_pod= 180s+(kb/30)*120s
is just t_pod= 180s+(kb)*40s

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 :D

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

There is still the question of whether something like a 2-min minimum is healthy for the game.
I really like the dump air idea
