is reclaim open to all or is it claimable??

tell me what you think.

I think its not claimable and open to all.

Imo when considering pure reclaim, it's definitely open for all and, in fact, everything should be sucked as quickly as possible.

BUT - resurrection is where it starts to become complicated. If there's a Krow wreck and a player with 10 Athenas, then reclaiming that wreck is just a Bad Move(tm).

Maybe wrecks that are being resurrected should be unreclaimable, and constructors could also stop reclaiming a wreck if it started getting rezzed.

Still, even this wouldn't remove all the conflicts between reclaim/rez.

As I see it the idea behind reclaim is to add a location-locked source of income to the game. It is open to the team that manages to claim and hold it. Of course this means fighting for it, especially if it is of high value. Anyway, in the end it's claimable - all you gotta do is send a Detri to protect it.

Does that answer your question? I think it doesn't, because that's not what you wanted to hear. I'll try another way, maybe this one's better:

The "TEAMS" room is about teamplay. Team play means there are two sides: us and them. (I'll skip FFAs and similar rare exceptions for sake of simplicity.) There's only one way to win and that is defeating the opposite team. This is important to say, because many - possibly most - people miss that. Let me make this clear: A player can not win in any way without their whole team winning.

Now what does that mean?
It means that in the end there is no difference between players of a single team. They all work - or should be working - towards a common goal that is defeating the team's opponent. There are many ways to do this and they all work better with serious hardcore teamplay.


Here's a few tips, maybe they should go into a guide eventually:

* Your spawn position is only temporary. It does not force you into a specific role, or into a specific area on the map. Keep this in mind when looking for weak spots in the enemy defense. Also keep this in mind when looking after your own, ie your team's weak spots. I often spread my army across the whole front, from one end of the map to the other, just because that means all enemy players have to deal with these units. That's why air can be so efficient, but same applies to Sharpshooters, Morties, Slashers, Ticks, anti air, FLEAS, etc.

* Nothing belongs to a player, everything belongs to your team. Make sure your units are used effectively. If a teammate asks for builders and you can afford it, give them all your idle ones, or half of yours, or build a factory and give it to them. Don't just share a single builder, or it's gonna spend two minutes building a factory, that's usually a lot of possibly useful APM (actions per minute) wasted.

Got too much buildpower? Make sure you repair allies.
Enemy units hardcounter yours? See if you can't switch lanes with an ally.
Someone stalling energy? Share eco and check if you got buildpower near a mountain or geospot.
Ally got a ressing unit nearby? Adjust your cons to only reclaim debris.

Imho you shouldn't reclaim units which your teammate ressurects.
The exception are situations where there is no time to ressurect because enemy is about to take the territory and reclaim themselves.

In most other cases ressurection is beneficial over reclaim, even if it takes much longer to finish.
Most of the ressurection cost is in rezzers themselves, but since your teammate is ressurecting already it means that he already covered the cost of Athenas or commorph and now it is profitable for the team that he ressurects as much as he is able to.

Of course you may need metal as fast as possible but usually there is a lot of wrecks on field, so you can just reclaim others. So just give Area Reclaim order, it won't autoreclaim stuff that is being rezzed.

Wreck that is being rezzed can be reclaimed only by targetting it manually, and it happens sometimes that your cons start reclaiming such wreck by accident.
But don't give such reclaim order intentionally! Doing so not only wastes the energy and buildpower that your teammate has put into partially ressurecting the wreck. IT DIRECTLY DRAINS METAL FROM YOUR TEAMMATE, because his cons start refilling metal back to the wreck you reclaim. So the effect is very similar as reclaiming ally nanoframes. So don't ever do this. If for some reason you have to reclaim that wreck, tell him to stop the rezzing first, so it won't drain all his stored metal into refilling the wreck (it drains really fast).

now what about when your auto reclaim order is given it is not being rezzed?? like for example you see are that area needs a major reclaim and no one is there so you got to send your rescources to reclaim the metal like have def or enough mobile unit to defend it that cost eco too!!

What about it? You just reclaim stuff. That's perfectly fine then. Once you notice ppl are ressing you can stop reclaiming, as long as they don't start ressing once its down to 5% metal or so, 'cause that's pretty expensive.

As far as I know area reclaim commands only ignore things that are ressed if ressing starts before the wreck itself is being reclaimed. Gonna try it eventually.

There is no such thing as claim.

so like for example i decided i need metal so i build a few conns to do reclaim and my @#$ of a teammate decide he dont like it.and wants the resource to. and has every right to take what rescources are out there in wrecks wright?? if so im give you forum karma.

still trying to justify your teamkilling vulte?
