It's a button in your HUD.

Right but is it a mini-scream? Does it just trample downed marines? How do?

You use it on top of a downed marine, and you deal a lot of brute damage (breaks at least one bone).

It can easily remove limbs too. Getting stomped by a crusher is not a fun experience.

[TheDonkified]

Yeah.

[Imperator_Titan]

Yeah.

Question as someone who is trying to learn PO I mainly use the Alamo how does targeting lasers work does the laze disappear after you fire the weapon or is it over time? I want to know so I don't hit the laze with the 30mm and take away from Normandy ability to wipe out an area.

The laze disappears over time however, the longer you take in firing off the arnaments, the greater the chance that the enemy has moved outta the way, so ya gotta be quick on that regard.

Best tactic is to lift off before SL would even lase something. You should be in the air when somone would put a CAS dot then instantly drop all rockets you have - best in taking out boilers and hivelords

What are the rules of escalation ? Basically, at which point is it ok to retaliate lethally to a person attacking you, no matter what your job at the time is ?

As far as the rules go, I believe 'small' attacks such as punching or bludgeoning can develop into gunfights at worst, as long as there is a driven IC issue. That can then be resolved by the MP, or the current authority. However, blowing your mate's brains out after he threw a flask at you is crossing the line (obviously).

how long does it normally take after being unbanned to get back onto the server?

With your history, your best bet would be to play on another server for a while. If you are fighting a perma the best thing to do is to play on another server to show the staff here that you can follow rules, and won't cause trouble if they give you another chance. You just need another server to vouch for your good behavior and activity.

I mean that i got told I would be put on probation and was wondering how long it takes for that to start

It takes what it takes. Could be a month, could be a week.

[HKO20006]

Where are "Weyland Yutani Compound" in LV and Big Red?

[HKO20006]

How long can unharmed tall hosts survive when devoured?
Edit: few minutes, and being injured and going into pipes reduce the time

[Jonesome]

Dumb question, but how do you spawn at the start as the enemy faction during special pvp events (i.e. starting on the CLF or UPP team)?

Also is there a message board for dates of upcoming events

There isn't a message board specifically for them, but sometimes admins do announce big events beforehand, usually it's "be there or be square" though, as for joining as hostiles, you'd have to get lucky and either be picked by the admin running the event or hope they message in OOC asking for bad guys

[CSolaris]

Quick question - and I'm not sure if this would be considered to be an attempt at metagaming or something along those lines. Are xenos affected by gases?

E1: "gases"

[HKO20006]

Xenos are not affected by Boiler's gas cloud, except the gas do block vision which blocks pounce.

Hmm. What about non - xeno gases? In other words, do xenos take respiratory damage at all? Or are they able to survive through atmospheres that marines wouldn't be able to (I.E. 0 oxygen environment)

[HKO20006]

Xenos don't need oxygen so yes.

[Jonesome]

Can predators collect skulls/spines?

[zoboomafoo]

I think predators can disassemble a human similar to how the take aliens apart with their ceremonial dagger, which slices off limbs, removes skin, and takes off the head, leaving behind remains (the piles of bones on LV).

[Dorkkeli]

Quick question: Is it a good idea to inspect the disposals by riding them?
