I just saw the latest trailer, and I swear it shows dust players sky spawning in it!
Look Here at about 3:06
Now this could all just be for cinematic purposes, but it appears that CCP is thinking of making Sky Spawning be initiated Eve-side, which may well be a great idea!
Here's how I'm picturing it in a nutshell:
1) Eve player rigs up his ship with "Skyfall troop depolyment module"s and loads his cargo bay with clones that were harvested on one of the planet sectors Dust-side
2) He flies over the planet where the battle is taking place (much like and orbital bombardment), gets in range, and fires up the modules.
3) When allied troops are using the spawn screen, they will see the option to "sky spawn" and will select a location. Perhaps the Eve-player could attach a fee to this to prevent dusters from burning though his clone reserve too quick.
4) Eve-side you see clones dropping out of the ship's modules, and within a few seconds the Dust players wake up in a free-fall at the location of their choosing!
Do you think CCP may be planning something like this? And what do you think of it? |

Nullarbor asked us if we wanted sky spawning before, and seemed like CCP was seriously considering it. Seems pretty likely that it is coming in light of this trailer. |

If you watch the vid at the point when they are falli g and the camera panns up you can clearly see the mcc from which they jumped . I do like the idea of sky spawning like somethig out of section 8 but I dont think well see it any time soon |

Oh yeah, maybe. I watched it again, but it looks too high in the atmosphere to be an MCC, but then again I've never seen an MCC from below on a clear night 
Anyways, even if that is a MCC up there, what would you guys think about it if they did make Sky Spawning work this way? |

huh?
The camera pans around the falling Dust mercs until the view points straight up....and there is a mcc there directly above them.
But yeah sky drops from space would be cool. |

Actually what they should do is that the min or so before the match start have the Dust mercs falling from space for the initial spawn with the MCC moving into position.
From the fall you can select where you will land....so instead of looking at a map at the start you are actually looking at the surface as you fall. |

Wouldn't sky spawning nullify the DU? I mean if one is faced with the choice of sky spawning and spawning at a DU, isn't the logical choice sky spawning? Either way a spawn is defenseless unless they changed something like putting in a damage delay. I think one would want to take their chances surprising from the sky rather than take the chance of spawning already dead. Again, unless something has changed in spawn mechanics, the element of surprise from falling from the sky would be negated by the fact that it takes 2-3 seconds (all day) sometimes to get off of the one knee.

It'd be nice if, instead of spawning in the jump bay, you spawned beneath the MCC, already in free fall.
It would help to fix a lot of the AFK farming problems. It wouldn't solve it completely on maps where the MCC is more secluded, but it would go a ways toward helping. |
