Combat is inherently unbalanced (as aliens are too powerful with multiple upgrades). Also, you can still get a 4 point onos vs. just shotguns using the pity points plugin we were running previously with a late joiner.

I've seen the threads and countless complains, i think as a community we should decide if we'd like to keep it as the standard. By no means am i saying remove it all together, but as the proposed 'toggle' on it got alot of hostility towards even changing it, while more people said that it should be. As a Community (and Democracy) We should take a vote or find some solution to make everyone happy, i suggest just voting and discussing in this thread, posting yes if you want it or no if you want the current standing of it changed (plugin, removal ect).

I would like it to stay . Personally, I would rather see ways to improve upon it than removing it altogether. Essentially, the plugin takes away the reward for higher skill, and gives the players of less skill more of a chance to compete as the playing ground is leveled. The idea being that if they can upgrade to keep in tech with the marines\aliens, they will stay on the server longer (and help fill it up for NS), instead of getting slaughtered and standing no chance at all. Hypothetically, even if we were to remove it, I'd imagine we would want more votes against it than the current 4.
