What about 2 spawn bases on opposite sides of the battle field? So one team is N/S and the other is E/W? That should help prevent redlining, which might become a problem if we have spawn bases in ambush.

so this way snipers can hide inside their bases in ambush, too? if this is ever implemented, then there needs to be a timer so you have to get out of the base in 30 seconds or die. you'd still probably die as soon as you left the spawn, though.

When Ambush was tried with MCCs in the game mode variation event, I thought it was pretty good. Might not be perfect, but would prevent spawning next to enemies. MCCs or some other kind of spawn bases might be an improvement to the current system.
Multiple safe spawn points would be needed to prevent base camping, so not just an MCC would suffice.
Each team could just have 2 (or more) spawn buildings inaccessible to the enemy, similar to how MAG did team deathmatch. Perhaps some special CRUs covered by an energy bubbles that no one can shoot in out of, and no one can reenter after exiting.

This alternative might be easier than fixing Ambush spawns considering CCP already tried to fix it.

If there is a energy barrier like the previous poster suggested, then no one could shoot into or out of the base. Seems to be a solid idea IMHO. The way spawning is now is just a way for people to farm free kills.

How about we have random spawn points on two sides of the map, each side has a cluster. Players will still spawn scattered around but not all over the place where spawn kills will most likely happen. And if one side is overrun, the spawn clusters switch sides to further avoid spawn killing. Now the team who's spawns are being overrun is spawning in the area where their enemy started from and the vice versa.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Another solution would be for players to be their own spawn bases. Players on the same team could being initially be spawned as a big group, and all following spawns could be in the largest group of friendlies that are furthest from enemies. Protection in numbers, let your team be the spawn point.
