It seems you guys only noticed GÇ£Sky SpawningGÇ¥ when a Dev finally started talking about it, and you seem to have no idea of the origins of the idea.

GÇ£Sky SpawningGÇ¥ is a beachhead mechanic for when you donGÇÖt have assets such as an MCC, DCC, or CRU on the ground. Its drawback is that it takes longer to get back into the battle, and that anyone watching the sky will know approximately where you landed, but it also gives you more control over where you land. For this reason it may also be used if your ground spawn assets are being camped. It represents insertion from the Warbarge without any ground assets used. *

I donGÇÖt believe that Drop Uplinks should be powerful enough to transport a clone from obit. I believe that getting a ground based clone supply should be a prime strategic objective, in order to make Drop Uplinks functional.

As well as its use in Salvage Districts, this is also a very important component in giving players the ability to GÇ£RaidGÇ¥ player owned districts where they donGÇÖt have ground assets. Attempts to take a district would require an MCC, but the ability to raid enemy districts without the expense of an MCC to ware down defenses and impact them financially would add a lot to game play.

* Whether this is launching your suited clone directly from the Warbarge and simply waiting to upload your consciousness into it when it gets into the lower atmosphere, dropping you from a Dropship/RDV, or teleporting you into the atmosphere, is really a Roll Playing issue, and frankly I would be fine with any of these options.


Edit: I mostly listen to Biomass a couple days later as a recording, and this time it had me pulling my hair out. If I had been listening live I would have posted in your chat: GÇ£ItGÇÖs a Beachhead mechanic you idiots!GÇ¥ You guys just did not seem to GÇ£getGÇ¥ it. I have been pushing this for the last six months. It has a specific purpose, and is certainly not meant as a replacement for the spawn mechanics we have now.
