Alien Respawning Idea

Browser_ICE

<div class="IPBDescription">hive is shaped like a bag so ...</div> Since the hive is shaped like it suggests gestating in it and coming out of it once fully borned, then why not use that in the way the aliens are respawning ?

It would be cool if aliens would come out of the hive as they are respawning. It would be more closer to the actual idea and would give a bit more realism to the game.

In some early Versions of the mod , the Aliens always respawned at the same spot under the hive .
This was taken away , because the marines just camped near it and waited for some skulks to respawn , until the Marines could build a siege to take out the hive. So the Aliens are just respawning at a random place near the hive.

It's actually not completely random, I believe that the same 16 spawn positions are always used , as defined by mapper.

Yeah, there are team-specific info_player_starts set up at the hives and the marine base.
