if your getting spawn raped it is because you have LOST the match.

When Orbital bombardment becomes possible.....trust me bro .
I will not be getting spawn camped.You dig my meaning?
Ill spell this out for anyone who might not...thats gonna mean a whole lot of spawn campers dead in a very short period of time.

Instead of "invulnerability" (kind of breaks the immersion bit - I didn't see a superman shield in the market) how about allowing multiple drop zones, or a backup to the primary when it gets overrun. Any commander worth his rank would realize how wasteful it is to keep dropping troops at a site where they're getting chewed up without hitting back. If we could spawn on the MCC, as a Merc I'd go hunting for the commander and launch HIM to the spawn site.

Multiple (minimum two, maybe purchase a third for big ISK?) drop zones force both teams to strategize about a spawn-camp situation. Defender has to decide which drop zone is the more serious threat, while the attacker can use the alt drop zone to flank spawn campers or push around campers to an objective. Two drop zones require more communication between the team to coordinate offense and defense - calling out DZs that are getting overrun to switch to the alt or flash traffic back to your defenders that the attackers aren't dropping into the DZ you're camped at so they can expect a push from the other DZ.

Having a spawn point go "cold" when the other team is inside it would also make for some interesting tactics. Entering a spawn point "chills" it, and causes a new spawn point to generate some distance away?

Spawn camping remains a "legitimate tactic", but now comes with some risk of getting flanked or bypassed for an upset. If a team isn't smart enough to use the alt DZ and flank or stack and overload a spawn camping situation, then they deserve to drop into the vegomatic and lose miserably. The team that communicates and works together the best wins, instead of merely the team that brought a bunch of tanks and parked them outside the spawn point.

Spawning into objectives? No, its fine as is.

Uplinks? No, fine as is.

Clone Reserve units? I'm more a fan of spawning INSIDE the CRU, and then being able to pick when and where you pop out. I mean the things have doors on them ffs, set it where you spawn, and then get to pick where you jump out of it.

This is true but those won't always be available we legitimate counters in all situations and locations. Perhaps once a player is placing all the spawn point and structures that will be enough.
I did see an interrating idea on a different thread.

Basically it was to serious physical barrier and limited angles to camp the reserve spawn from. A shield was also suggested, players could pass through but no shots could get in or out. Now to me the shield idea is little OP you could just call a bunch of tanks and crap without any risk involved.

Arbitrary "gamey" mechanics have no place in this sandbox.

Who called in the orbital bombardment?

Spawn point protected.

Dummies..."we" did not put ourselves anywhere. I join a game late and it is being spawn camped? And your thought pattern is Eve is not fair? "Should have got a drop link out" "Should not have picked bad players to play with?" "Should have not picked a enemy who has better and more tanks then you?" Get educated....players will quit or just not play. So yes it is broken and fix it. The back spawn for any team should never be fair game to receive fire. It is common sense..if you want to spawn camp play games that are ten years old that had that backward thinking (or just not progressed yet)...we evolved.

Once again they 99% fixed this already.But I can not believe how silly some of you are.
