<div class="IPBDescription">No 2 objects can exist in the same place!</div>As Alien or Marine spawning during an attack on base results in a congestion of spawning and exploitable frags. This factor is not FUN.
A solution that could be applied is the use of a shock-wave that eminates from spawn portals prior to spawning. The shock would cause a knock-back. (And upgradable?)
And for the alien, it makes sense that when an embryo hatches a splatter of acidic spores does area damage or a black cloud.

The acid splash is an interesting thought though, might cut down a little bit on egg camping. Although why would an alien spawning from an egg splatter acid but killing an empty egg would not?

It doesn't really push them it only really stops them from occupying the space of the spawned player.

Yeah it would have to be on all eggs for realism, interesting idea...makes a little bit of sense.
Spawn egg camping can be more of an issue in pub games (where its often the result of team stack) but seen as a valid tactic for comp play.
Perhaps if they do add this they need to consider a server side option (or perhaps some in the mod community could make this idea the "n00b friendly server mod").
Bigger issue is the upgrades being sniped so easily for aliens, 1 marine can easily take out at least 1 of your upgrades.
that reminds me - anyone remember the rolling egg suggestion? You could roll your egg around the hive (to a safe spot) while you are evolving or waiting to spawn LOL :)
One problem is also the way mines work, they detonate eachother. This makes ips and pgs easy to camp and impossible to mine, so you need to add crappy pushback mechanics that bring a lot more additional problems.
Rest of the problems originate from crappy collisions between players.
