"reloading" the Outpost

[GaryVoshol]

The only way I can think of this happening is

<G25> GAME PIECE Out of Bounds - GAME PIECES that leave the CRATER or FUELING STATIONS will be placed back in play at the earliest safe opportunity. The GAME PIECE will be placed back in the CRATER or FUELING STATION at the approximate location where it exited.

It doesn't say that the ball would be given back to the Outpost though, even if the ball goes out immediately over the PS's head. Someone needs to go to Q&A.

I think it will be reloaded by the CREW. In previous years the CREW were responsible for reloading game pieces that either broke or got placed in other parts of the field. I'm pretty sure that they won't run out.

The field crew won't be handing any rocks to the outpost players. As G25 says, any rocks that exit the CRATER or FUELING STATION will be returned to the CRATER or FUELING STATION near where they exited. The OUTPOST is neither the CRATER nor the FUELING STATION, so the rocks won't be returned there.

On the other hand, it means your PAYLOAD SPECIALIST can fumble a few rocks, and they'll be returned to him, as opposed to being returned to the CRATER.

i have to agree here there really needs to be a way to reload the outposts. i mean if the PS is a quick shot, he/she could expend all of his/her ammo in the autonomous round. then they get the "joy" of sitting there for the rest of the match and hope that one of his/her alliance comes over to aquire a empty cell.
