i just wondered whether the scarab storage of a reaver is a queue or a stack.
first in first out or first in last out?

information on this anyone?

They play musical chairs to decide which one will be launched at the enemy.

No, it's definitely musical chairs, a scarab told me! He always won, so he was spared.

can only be FIFO since you can shoot a scarab while another one is building

i think they're produced in the back of the unit. then torpedowise are moved to the front and released after the signal from the commander is set.

and konni is right. fifo would be the normal standard.

builder -> cargo -> shooter

but it could be different. with three parts. shooting part, cargo part and build part.
i would see it as

cargo -> shooter <- builder
...^...........................|
...+---------------------------+

this way it doenst matter what side the scarab comes from. so if ones build it could be fired immediatly. but if none is 'done' in the builder part. one would be shot from the cargo part.
