I presume this was a link turret?

correct. They help power up the link turret, but they dont gain xp from the exchange. I'm guessing someone in a link turret doesn't share if the turret is linked to a player.

I have changed the replication for EngineerPointsInv to try to fix the problem with losing the spawn count down timer. On my machines it works fine, and no problems in the last 2 hours.
Even Druid's "suicide in a turret" works fine, and it keeps counting.

However, I cannot guarantee there will no be problems across the internet due to increased ping/lag. I think we will need to test it to see if it is better or worse. I hate replication.

If someone else has a chance to test it before we give it a live trial, it would be much appreciated. Since it is all down to timing and what is loaded when, it would be better to have a different setup test it.

I must admit I do not like the idea that an engineer can link to a link turret and whilst healing it, also increase the damage it does and get back xp from it. Same with linking link turrets. It just seems too good to me.

If an engineer link gun links to another engineer, the head engineer will get a damage boost and the xp will be shared, but his shield will not get healed.

But how we adjust the link turrets to do something similar I don't know.
