<div class="IPBDescription">Is this Idea possible?</div> I was thinking about ideas to enforce team balance without an admin.
What if a team can only spawn as many players as the lesser teams total players. So for instance, Marines: 10 Players/Aliens: 5 Players. The Marines can only spawn up to 5 Marines at a time leaving the rest of the people in a line until somebody dies. That person will go to the back of the line and the next Marine will be up. Admin should be able to set up a specific number though, maybe enforce team balance if the teams are uneven over 2 Players so the max a team can be unbalanced is 10vs8. If another person joins to make it 11v8 only 10 people will respawn at once.
What do you guys think of this idea?
Note: I think it is worthwhile to mention that the game itself suggest that newbie players play Marines first. Since NS is but a couple weeks old nobody but the hardcores and the PTs are used to the Aliens. This problem might just be a matter of patience, in time things will balance themselves out. I do think this idea is kinda useful though, if you have a bunch of Newbies on the team what better time to explain basic strategy and gameplay to them.
Lucky enough I am one of those damn fair play people. I was forced to learn aliens because I just didn't feel it was right to have 10v5's but now I love the little slimy beasts. Actually I enjoy both sides equally but have to say that recently I have played more aliens because of the balance issue.
Well that's my idea. Tell me what you think.

I had to learn how to play Kharaa exactly the same as you. But now I love Kharaa way more. Plus all the nice people go onto the Kharaa, and all the jerks are on the marines.
I was playing a game as a marine a couple of days ago, and I was in the commander's seat. As soon as this one guy joins (I have two blokes on my team including me), he vote kicks me out of the freaking command chair. That is utter crap.
Thats just crazy enough to work <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Interesting idea, but not needed anymore.
