I think the spawns should be more even instead of most of the team being clustered in one spot and then some poor ships out in the middle of nowhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its probably one of my bigger gripes at the moment because I have literally been killed by a spawn before. Especially on the smaller maps where you practically start detected.

Here's an attempt at an explanation. The way I understand spawns, there are a certain number of "slots" for each ship type and each slot has a specified position on the map. At the beginning of battle, the ships are randomly assigned to these slots, resulting in some ships being alone sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
