Poll: Special Reload (12 member(s) have cast votes)

When should we have our specials reloaded?

  1. Never. You get them back after death. (8 votes [66.67%])

  2. At base, when you turn in x amount of energy (eg: 100 = refilled turret) (1 votes [8.33%])

    Percentage of vote: 8.33%

  3. Lootable: if someone dies with your turret unused, it's lootable. (1 votes [8.33%])

    Percentage of vote: 8.33%

  4. After a very long cooldown, like the "F" powers. (2 votes [16.67%])

    Percentage of vote: 16.67%

  5. When you've stood next to an objective long enough, or accomplished some other team goal. (0 votes [0.00%])

Just throwing some ideas out there.

Turrets are very good, so it would be obnoxious if it were easy to replace them.  Radar Jammers, repair bonuses, portable mini-bars etc would be fine to replenish.

Depending on map and luck and how well I play, sometimes I'm alive for a long time.  Often in Siege mode I've returned to base multiple times and that seems like a sensible time for me to get another hologram.

Some mech types die less than others.

Considering how powerful the items are, it's prolly for the best you only get them once per life, makes you think twice about using them.

That said, when on those 16+ killing sprees, I often die in the end because I have no more items left to use in a hairy situation.

^this.

Mainly because everyone would just keep running back to the same area (base or whatnot)  and restocking on items rather than focusing on battle.

I think that's a good way to prevent heavy snowballing tbh
I mean... you can wipe a team but they'll only come back armed with HE grenades and EMPs

I could see item replenishing in say...a duel mode, though it would have to be pretty heavily restricted
