Connection lost --> units given to allies instead of explode

[lextoc]

Sometimes someone loses connection, this is ofcourse something you can't help. But I think the units that the player had shouldn't just explode, but given to allies instead. After all they are fucked hard enough already by losing one player..

if you play full share this is eaxctly what happens

[ZLO_RD]

even if i do not have autogive/autoget?

That's not the suggestion, if the game is share untill death, share the units if he loses connection, because he didn't actually die

[Ze_PilOt]

No, or it can be abused easily (alt-f4 before dying and tadam).

[lextoc]

They said it was too late for that (disconnect), I don't know if it was but then we still have to quit the game with a lame ending

[Gorton]

Allow the other team to take a majority vote on whether the units get given or not.
Most people would judge fairly, I hope.

I think this could actually be pulled off if there was a timer built in.

-> On disconnect, the units are given but the ACU of the discon player stays alive and stationary. If it takes more than (x-damage) the ACU and all the units that were given will CTL-K. If the ACU does not take damage for (x-time) it will CTL-K as normal and all units will stay as in disconnect on a full share game.

I have no idea if this is possible or how hard it would be to set up, but this is the only way I could see it working. If a player disconnects, it makes their ACU an easy target for the other team during the relay time. If the player disconnected on purpose with f4 or a router switch while under attack, the penalty will apply as soon as the ACU takes some damage.
