a beginners noobish thoughts.

Once per turn is right (sponge), it replaces warping in a player for that turn. When it works and when it doesn't isn't absolutely clear to me. It might be partly bugged. Needs more investigation.

It's supposed to be that seriously injured players, lost in warp and fell in lethal trap players cannot be sponged. KO'd and stunned yes. Fell in non-lethal trap, I'm not sure.

It feels like sometimes you can heal a player you aren't supposed to and sometimes you can't heal a player you are supposed to.

Sponging is meant to replace the chance to come back at the end of a drive. With only one drive that won't happen so something else is needed.

fall in any trap you cant be sponged unless KO'd as my opponent brought back a guy who was KO'd falling in a trap (although lethal traps are not as lethal as they are supposed to be 1 is dead, 2-6 is injured).

basically magic sponge only seems to work on KO'd players no matter how they came by the KO and only upto around turn 16 in the game.

Can't stunned players be healed? You can be only stunned falling in.

seems stunned players are just a normal teleport out which cant be healed. not sure, never seen a stunned one come back so maybe but as they just go to reserves (teleported out like others teleported out) they cant be healed i think

just wanted to say i have found a link with some good information.

it has more info than the others i think.

Quite a few house rules in there, though.

Magic Sponge - If your player is KO'd or Badly Hurt, you can be "sponged" back to reserves.

If your player falls into a non-lethal trap, they are out of that match and can not return to play.
If your player is Lost In Space (failed warp), they are out of that match and can not return to play.
If your player is serious injured in a block, failed dodge, chest explosion or trap, they are out of that match and can not return to play.
If your player fails a precarious position roll, they are out of that match and can not return to play.

Now lethal traps are also meant to take your player out of the match, but they are bugged. If your player falls into a lethal trap and sustains a KO or BH result, they can be "sponged". Any other result takes that player out of play.
