SJ recently posted something to this effect... that wise players will pre-stock their lockers for when the base gets hacked. That way they can continue to get reloads and such when the base is in limbo.

And from the way SJ described stocking your locker, there is a limit to what you can put in there.

i think lockers also help when the generator goes out. but if the base gets all the way hacked (after 15 min.), will the lockers become property of the new owners thus you can't access them (like they changed the locks)

The space in a locker is pretty big u can put 3 Maxs in it so it can hold alot. If a base is captured the enemies cannot take your lockers cuzz a locker can only open to u. So your weapons will not be taken. I am pretty sure that when u go to a locker that your weapons apper in it, so this means that one person get stuff out then another person gets there stuff out of the same locker.(too confusing?) >>><<<

Ya I think I would throw some extra weapons of my own empire in my locker, that way if the situation changes you'll be ready for everything if the power goes out, and not just have whatever enemy weapon you left in your locker. I'm sure a Repeater or something would be cool to have in the locker, but any NC is going to be much more comfortable with a mag scater since you can just pop it right out of your own terminals, Locker seems just like an emeregency backup to me, plus you can hide your loot there.

I also heard you could deconstruct vehicals and store em away. I don't know if they take up inventory space or if there is just a limit of one.

Of course I could be talking out of my ass, but I swear I heard that somewhere.

repost from the agn interview transcripts:

How are the lockers used? You mentioned this a little earlier.

Lockers are one of those things that I think people will overlook at the very beginning, but they�re extremely useful in a couple of situations. If your generator is destroyed, then your equipment terminals don�t have any power in the facility that you�re trying to defend, so the only way for you to resupply yourself when the gen is down is to go to your locker and be able to get out of that. The locker is one of the few things that are not powered, so you can pick up stuff from that at any time. In addition, at the gun towers, if you respawn there or happen to be near one, also have lockers in them. Well, if you respawn at a tower, there is no equipment terminal there. So the only thing you�re going to have when you go back to a tower is your default configuration, which is like standard armor and a suppressor with some bullets and a RICK (sp?). So the only way you�ll be able to equip is through a locker until you get to some facility or to an AMS.

Dont get me wrong, PS will be the best game ever written by man, but cnc ren rocks =) I have played that game on and off since it came out. There are still many many people that play it. There were about 30 full servers last night. As far as money goes, I find that I can get anything that I want after about 5 min of running around, then after that, so long as im not killed in 3 secs, you norm have enough money 4 the rest of the game The air added a lot to the game when they put it in I love flying in a chopper and roasting flame tanks But I must admit, there are a lot of those "wonderful" teem players there that are like "do it this way noob!" over and over again.... jsut yelling back and forth.... I just gave up and turned my chat window off it got so bad

But PS will be sooo much better, I would take PS over cnc ren2 any day! then again, its not like we have a choice since Westwood is all but dead now (thanks to the evil EA and the flop of battle for dune, etc

-P.S.
*Just to add something about lockers to stay sorta on topic:*
Lockers rule! W/O them, just lose your power/ someone hacks, and you have no way to get ammo/weapons

P.P.S.
EVIL EVIL EA!!!! EVIL EA!!!! *never liked them since they got rid of Battletech 3025
