Possible Idea for DDs

[Bardicer]

Okay, I've put about 300 hours into Trench Wars since I started playing earlier in the year. After a while of getting owned in elim, I was invited to join Xerotek. While watching the various DDs that went on, I noticed a LOT of squads got their wins by spawning. I got to thinking, what if people had a few seconds of safety time after spawning where they could get moving? I myself try not to spawn unless it's inevitable (someone spawns in my line of fire), and for this, I usually end up shot. So...here's the idea.

After someone has been killed, when they reenter the arena in a ship, give them a couple seconds of invulnerability, so that they can get into position more or less. The drawback to such, is that while they're unable to be shot, they're also unable to shoot. This would prevent it from becoming overpowered in that someone will die, and rush into the midst of the enemy to get a shot or two off before they can get killed.

I know there are a lot of people who 'fight clean', but it seems like there are more and more that will take whatever they can and however they can. I know this'll probably get some flames, but I also feel that the majority of the people who will feel that this detracts from the game, are the ones who spawn at every oppurtunity.

no rule against spawning.

[Ewan]

This has been brought up many many times, and nothing will ever be implemented. Spawning is part of the game, live with it, learn to do it yourself and learn to get better at dodging it.

Nice idea, i personally would love that as i am alway, ALWAYS getting spawned. as Edify said there isnt a rule but it is one of the most annoying things about the game. however since this hasnt already happened i doubt it will......

Spawning=Spawn
Must I spell it out?

[Dameon Angell]

Spawning is part of the game. Do unto others, before they do unto you.

[Voth]

Spawning is a part of warbirding, sadly. If you can't deal with it, either base, or javelin duel, where there's less spawning.

Theres this special key you can press, but be careful, its VERY powerful. F11.

Next time someone trys to spawn you.. BANG, hit F11, and ur safe (no lies)

But don't use it when you have no lagouts left.

If someone spawns me I usually hunt them and spawn them for the rest of the game. Then they usually stop. I don't usually say anything either I just do it.

Do you guys always spawn infront of someone or something? The chances of someone spawning infront of me (especially the guy that I'd want revenge on) once would be pretty slim. You make it sound like if someone spawns you, you constantly spawn them back.

There's a problem with that. If the guy gets invulnerability, then he (let's make him "a" and the other guy is "b". A is spawning and B is already floating around.) a would rush up to b and b would try to shoot him down. Even if b hits him, it won't do any good. Then a could easily hunt b down.

The only possible solution for that would be to have his charge all the way down, but have shields for about 5 seconds. When 5 seconds are up, shields down, and full charge.

Ya, I'll be as cheap as I can if they spawn me.

[Dabram]

On one hand it's a good idea, because people could fly away from their enemy as they respawn on the other hand they could fly into their enemy as they respawn.

Hmmm, I'd give it a try.

spawning isnt much of a problem if you are on your toes all the time and never typing or not paying attention.

then again, spawning can go both ways. you can kill someone or you can kill someone when u spawn and they are sitting in front of you. just spawn all you can, it will balance out.
