Stations recharging energy

i think that there is more than one type of station now, each that rearm different things, however i would like to know if they will instantly recharge your energy (T!), or if they wont do anything and it rechanges normally (T2). i guess this can now apply for both pack energy and player's jet energy.

personally i would like to see it recharge, as then you are kitted and you are ready to go. In T2 if you want to switch to HO, and you have been light clearing out your base, you have to wait a good 5-10 seconds before you are ready to go, especially if you arent going to use an energy pack.

As LD you want to get to the inv, kit up and be back and ready to go as quickly as you can for flag grabs, now if you have to jet to the inv, and then jet back, chances are if someone grabs soon after you are there then you wont have a lot of energy to chase with.

i know this seems like a very small thing, but quite often it can mean the difference between getting cleanly on your way, and having a HO or LO come in while you are waiting.

I dont think it seems like a small thing, its one of the more irritating things about t2, you always waste all your energy getting to an inv, then if you switch to non energy heavey you have to wait around...tv is supposed to be fast paced so I'd think they have energy recharging at invs.

V2 did it. The one thing that was great about V2 was how fast the use time of invs was. All u had to was walk across it.

Ammo stations and base inv stations should recharge your suit energy and pack energy. Deployable inv stations should recharge your suit energy but not your pack energy. Repair pack despensors should give you repair packs with full pack energy and not recharge your suit energy. All other pack and deployables despensors should not come charged or replenish your suit energy. Any packs that you pick up off the floor will have no pack energy -you have to wait for it to charge.
