SPAWNING

Spawning and redeployside (see my definition below) is one of the key issues of Planetside as it defines the pace and place that we play.

In the separate pages in this section see my various suggestions to improve the situation.

First I feel that I ought to explain some of the terms I use throughout this page and the subpages:

Hard Spawn: A spawn point which is tied to territory, such as spawn rooms.

Redeployside: The metagame of pressing redeploy after every fight ends to find the next one, often resulting in a wave of defenders emerging from a spawn room which washes away attackers.

Soft Spawn: A player placed spawn which can quickly be destroyed, such as a spawn beacon, Sunderer AMS or squad vehicle.

Time to Contact (TTC): The length of time between spawning and finding an enemy.
