Actually experienced transport POs realise this. They realise that killing multiple xenos so a evac never happens, by allowing CAS to have points is much better than saving a few, who will most likely just be revived after transport docks and they go to medical
Having enough ammo to kill a t3 (2 keepers/widows) is much more valuable instead of 2 sentries that aren't important because if they are needed you've already lost. Having the ability to kill xenos so fob is never under siege in the first place is muuuuch more important than saving a few ungas dude
"Ree admins think this is IC but I think it's griefing!" It's funny cause no one back in the day would actually take sentries, because CAS was may more active and required the additional budget for ammo every single round. But now CAS is dying cause POs would rather just click a button to move transport, instead of using the automatic flying and getting kills with CAS
Then going onto transport for evac so someone can lock the doors after fob siege begins.
That one more marine isn't as crucial to the defence of the almayer if you use the budget you used on sentries to kill the xenos on CAS. Simple as. But with hoe dead JTAC is nowadays and the knowledge of it lowering per round, with not many spotters, buying sentries doesn't matter if CAS is bald, cause they won't use up their budget anyway
All in all, if youre transport, you literally only need 1 engine upgrade. If you buy all the shit you could possibly need or want as transport, then factor in the weapons CAS buys. You're halving their ammo count at best. Which is in my opinion the soft griefing.
I bet you get lz detector too lol
