Vehicle spawn upgrade

[GlassJaw]

How about a spawn distance slider... in addition to choosing a spawn point direction (like we currently do) a slider would control the distance away from your base that you would spawn.

LMFAO, the lengths some have to try and go.  

HELL NO!

I like it.

I would prefer a spawn road but this would be a step in that direction.

I dont see why not. As long as the maximum distance stays the same as they are now, it would be a good way to break up spawn campers.

with this u can simply choose to spawn up a few hundred yards away from what would be a camped spawn.

I think it's one of the better ideas for preventing spawn camping.

But how will the GVers boost their score!?

[gyrene81]

If the minimum and maximum distances remain the same the only adjustment is something in between, that would not break up the smart spawn campers.

If the intention is to allow spawning much closer to an enemy base than what is currently coded into the maps, no thanks.

One argument against this is that currently spawn points for vehicles have to be placed on a "grass" tile (ie. no obstructions).  At least, when I was working on a terrain a year or so ago that was required.  Implementing something like this would require doing something else (other than simply specifying a grass tile) to ensure that the vehicle spawns in a viable location.  Folks would be screaming bloody murder if their perked tank spawned into a crevasse that flipped the tank trying to get out of, for example.

One man's spawn camping is another man's ambush. 

[GlassJaw]

An ambush is when someone is driving along and you make them go boom when they dont expect it.  A spawn camp is when 10 guys fire a round at the lone guy spawning in before his motor started.  Ambushes are cool... the point is to prevent the latter.

One man's spawn camping is another man's ambush.

spawn camping is only relevant if that one guy is dumb enough to up  over and over again

[APDrone]

How about a 'fire for effect' spawn perk option?

A wide barrage of artillery wipes out any spawn campers within x yards radius from the spawn point ( depending on perkage spent ), thus allowing you to spawn safely.

so.. for 1000 yards barrage, say.. 50 perks

2000 yards, 100 perks

3000 yards 200 perks..

Might add a little risk to getting up there real close...

On the fence on this one.
