Just an idea, I don't know if it.s been brought up before...
I was thinking it would be cool for the map creator to have 3 different kinds of DZs to use. One for HQs only, one for "Soldiers" only, and one that allows either (like now).    DA's left nut |

How would these affect Spawn?

Good point - That would have to be sorted out.
But since they have mobile "HQs" anyway, it mightn't matter so much...? I don't know...it's not like it was a fully formed idea or anything...just an idle thought which I wanted to put down before it strayed away like so many of it's siblings... I had this thought when reading that JC wanted to do a really, really large map. DA's left nut |

I think that someone suggested a while ago having limits to the number of FP allowed within a deployment zone... could combine well with this.

I actually don't see why the same thing couldn't work with spawn: queens in hq-deployment areas only, others in the others only.

The problem might then be that your opponent would have an even better idea of where your HQs would be - so missile and sniper spamming of those areas would be a more valuable tactic.
Map makers already seem to achieve this feature by clever placing of barrels and chairs. Often what seems like a big building to put an HQ in turns out to be for troops only due to small scenery items. The remaining areas then effectively become the only places to put an HQ - on some maps these are so restrictive to effectively force HQ positions.

Well maybe it wouldn't be very useful, but it could come into play on some themed games or even the new multiplayer games, where you might want someone to be able to put HQs but not soldiers into a particular area.
