This idea might have been posted by someone else, but I figured i'd share it with everyone... The harvestor is only crucial when the Airstrip/Weapons Factory is destoryed (Because it will not be able to be reproduced). Repairing it, does not give you or your team any points, however, the other teams gets points for damaging it. Therefore, by repairing it, you are just allowing the other team to get more points next time the harvestor goes out, and comes back in. Instead, you should just leave it, destoryed or not, it doesn't really matter... Just don't give them a shot at free points.. But you could also repair it for the money, and it won't matter much, because once it comes back, it's just like it was repaired... Thoughts?

First, it's a Tiberium Harvester, not a 'harvestor'. Second, you're an idiot. You get 15-60 points for repairing it.

Have you played Renegade at all? Everyone gets around 350 credits or so when the harvester rolls into the refinery. If the other team destroys your harvester, guess what? You don't get 350 credits! That means you can't buy special characters, or vehicles. On Flying_Walls, people usually will make a mad dash in destroying the other teams harvester as it will take the other team more time to build up cash. That buys their team time to attack you without resources. So, uh, you better protect your harvester (having the computer rebuild it prevents you from making other vehicles when its doing so and if you happen to be in the way of the Nod transport that comes down to drop off the harvester in your fancy apache, your apache goes BOOM!).

If it's damaged very badly, and you're a Hotwire\Technician, you get around 40-60 points for repairing it completely.

I always target the harvester when given the opportunity. If a harvy is destroyed, the Airstrip/WF reorders one; enemy can't build new vehicles for a few seconds while harvy comes in. Occasionally these delays save a team from defeat.

The flaming the newbie got was well deserved. If you are an engi and you don't repair the harvy you are asking for a flaming. Now on maps like C&C_City or C&C_City_Flying then I might be able to see his point. At least in the very beginning. Both harvesters are usually dead no matter what the first time around so if at all possible you should wait to kill their harvester till after they kill yours. This means both harnesters do not get a load in but they will have to wait longer meaning they your harvester will get back ouit there faster.

Repairing the harvy is very important.. not for points but rather for the 400 or so credits that you get once it dumps its load at the refinery. At the same time it gives you a great lead if you can destroy the enemy's harvy as well. That way you'll be well on your first Rush before the other team has enough money. Once the game gets going, it becomes less important to keep it repaired. Or rather, it becomes extremely difficult to even try to repair it so it's usually not worth the effort.

Omg, have you played in say six player games? Yes, I know you haven't, 'cause both harvesters make it back home nearly always. This often happens even in 20 player games. Of course if you play on 80 player servers someone will probably get the harvester, but hey...

Are you a moron?????
If the harvestor gets destoryed than you have to wait longer to get some cash. You DO get points for repairing it, although it may not be much but you might save it and give your team money which is quite usefull in a game that you can purchase items that help destory your adversary.

Come on people I think he has a good point.
I mean why should everyone else have to repair the harvey. That stupid lazy harvey driver should get out and fix it himself.
In fact I've actually seem him do it once, but then some noob came along and stole the harvey from him. Only noobs like driving the harvey! It's so boring! LOL

Always repair Harvester, if you wan to win.
 Remember you can't buy SH1T without credits.  You should ALWAYS make sure your buildings and harvester are operational, it's no fun sitting on a tack and rotating, waiting for credits. Don't be a dumb N00b--> everything they destroy helps them and hurts you....

The harvester gives 300 credits to everybody when it comes back. If there's 3 people in the game, $900. If it's 20 on 20 in a 40 player game you get *pulls out calculator* $12,000 just for covering it. Now you say it's not worth it?

who would let their harvy get blown away? I have no idea why anyone wouldn't repair it. if you want them to blow the harvy, let them, they get bonus points for destroying it, you get less money and it just pops out of the vehicle factory ready to be blown up....then they get kill bonus, you have less creds and so on...

You can also tail a Harvester out into the field, which doesn't work too well if it only takes two hits and blows up. Works really well with flame tanks, it often gives you enough cover so that you take a few less hits, enough to make the difference between destroying the enemy vehicles or losing yours.

Lets see I belive the equation for not repearing the harvester is:
Harvester gets almost killed, Plus its comming back from the field, Plus its full of tiberium, Times you comming past it as a hotwire/tech, Divided by a enemy shell hiting it and blowing it skyhigh=YOU MUST HAVE LOST YOUR BRAIN ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!! 
If the harvester is comming back into the base and is damaged I will alwase repeair it because, like all the people who responded to this post, I know that if the harvy is deystroyed it will take longer to buy anything and you could lose the game.
The harvester is the financial backbone to your "war effort", without it the only funding you will get is 2 credits around every second and any money you make by attacking the enemy, yes if the harvy is deystroyed it is made again for free(or deliverd)but this takes time and the load of tiberim that was on the old harvester is lost
It is very hard to win a battle if your side is lacking in funds cause you are to stuffed to fix the harvester.

Also It doesn't hurt to be repairing it when the time c4 starts going off. Ive seen several time the harv was gonna be blown up but was saved by some timely repair. Keep that money comming.
